January 26, 2010

in Say What You Mean

Melanie Orndorff wants you to Rock Unemployment! I want you to rock your passions and get what you want! We talked about how to create your PitchPerfect! introduction as you look for new gigs, seek out clients and build a community of evangelists!

Listen to me and Melanie talk cattle prods, tattoos and values. OH, and yes, how to pitch yourself! (N.B. I offer a special discount during this recording. . .so, listen for the secret word!) While you are there, sign up for Rock Unemployment tips and check out the blog.
