Advice from my Web master
One of the things I have told my
web design clients is that to get your site talked about and indexed, get out there and get involved online. Post articles, talk in forums, become the expert, and above all, start your own blog. Most of us keep making excuses why we can't do something, but I figure it's time to put my money where my mouth is. (This is from Irene's first blog.)
Web design is a relatively new part of my life. I've been online forever, with my career in science research, it's pretty much always been a part of the way things are done. As I've seen the pages and sites evolve, it got my scientific and creative minds together to discover how much of this I could learn and create for myself and subsequently, for others.
What began as a way to help out my friend
Bob fix up his
Ideaman site has turned into a part-time business creating new sites like
Secret Selling Tips and, most recently,
The Prosperous Farmer. I've also helped others, like Jeff with his
investigations business, update what is otherwise a really nice site. Each design, each success has taught me something new and I believe that is the most important thing.

Vitrak Creative site:
Helping you harness the creative power of your mind to maximize your message on the webOne of the most important attributes of a vibrant personality is their ability to keep growing, to keep learning, to never take for granted the store of knowledge that is available to them. This is the true power of the web. We can access the knowledge of millions of minds - brilliant, average, and otherwise - but it is there for us to learn from. Then, finally, we too can share our 'wisdom', such as it is.
So, that is my bit of wisdom for this time around. Keep learning. Keep thinking.
Keep questioning. But above all, Have fun!

Communication for Speakers takes a new path
I've told you about the work 20 speakers are doing in creating the
Alberta Speakers website and ad-venture promotional team. This group is using a website which is supported by print advertising as a way to leverage their reach.
Mid November we expanded that outreach by inviting additional speakers to join us in two more online web-based promotional websites. We've had a good response for
Edmonton Speakers and
Calgary Speakers websites.
Last week we invited speakers from
BC to become a part of a new online program to promote
Vancouver Speakers and
Kelowna/Okanagon Speakers. Again, the response has been good. Obviously, these ideas have struck a chord with our fellow speakers. Yahoo!
Glad to help where we can and we have several other projects under consideration:
Atlantic Canada Speakers,
Saskatchewan Speakers,
Manitoba Speakers,
Ontario Speakers,
Toronto Speakers,
Hamilton Speakers, and
Ottawa Speakers. Interesting way to leverage my spare time, keep my webmaster busy, and leverage my reach along with helping my fellow speakers with theirs.

Denver Secrets revealed
Sometimes even the politicians get it right.
I was just in Denver exhibiting our on-line Secret Selling Tips sales leaders' success program at the CSIA DemoGala2007 at the invitation of the Canadian Consultate.
CO Governor, Bill Ritter opened the event and said a few words. He was not bad... in fact I thought he did a good job and told him so when he came by the booth.
He was clear, concise and comfortable in his remarks. He came across natural and not at all like a typical politician. His works were real and conveyed his ideas easily.
We can learn from people like the Governor.

Speaking of a challenge! Drop Zone team wanted - please help
Anyone who raises a minimum pledge of $1500 for the
Alberta Easter Seals Drops Zone before Sept. 10th (actually before my training on Sept. 5th) will earn the chance to rappel down the side of the 26-story Sutton Place Hotel (10235 101 St in Edmonton). Since 2005, more than 600 superheros joined this exclusive Superhero Club for Easter Seals.
I am committed to being a part of that courageous group this year in helping Easter Seal Kids. (gulp)
I am asking for your involvement in making that goal a reality. I could donate the $1500 for the chance to walk down the building, but that would defeat the process of engaging and involving a greater number of people in the process. People like you... I believe in the power of making a 'leveraged' difference.
This program is being used by Easter Seals all across Canada. Last year (Edmonton's first) 39 people rappeled down and this year they have a goal of doubling that number. They have room for 70 Superheros. I would love to be one of them this year and with your help, surpass that challenging goal.
I've pledged to raise at least $2500. I am asking your help to surpass this challenging goal.
Check out this flash movie to see what I have to look forward to (gulp!) and follow the link below to go to my personal donation page.
As many of you know I am not very comfortable with heights; but I believe to get to the winner's zone we need to move outside my comfort zone. This adventure will certainly move me 'way' past my comfort zone. (SMILE!!!) With your help I will on Sept. 10th, 2007. We'll see if we can get some pictures to share of this adventure.
Check out my personal donation page and support this great cause. (You can make a donation online)

Returned recently from a two week road trip... San Diego, Chicago and Waukesha, WI, back to San Diego, Seattle, Bellingham, Kelowna, Golden, Radium and Canmore. Good to be home.
