YSBWPAUTOMATE

My strategic reason for partnering across industries is to try to help my business weather ups and downs in the marketplace. The Triangle-area is very fortunate to have a solid, diverse base of employers, and remains one of the most dynamic economic regions in the nation. I believe that helping my clients get to know one another is a great way to add value to

I was involved, peripherally, in an event last week that made me think about the meaning of 'home'. Part of my business involves behind the scenes public relations work. One of the projects involved the crew Linda Craft & Team REALTORS® who supported an effort by one of their team members, David Toothaker, to help raise money for a struggling New England church. Why? Because, for a

I've recently ramped up the networking, as my business is at that bubble point where I'm considering adding more folks and a new client or two could push me over that decision. I had several recent networking experiences, and thought I'd share my thoughts about how to ask for business and how to network, and when to do one, the other or neither!! Social Event:

I've had two recent experiences working on tight, perhaps, impossible deadlines, and surpised myself on how I handled each situation. One was a pleasant surprise, the other not so much. I work with a number of media-related projects in my line of work at www.cameronknowles.com . I had one where I was relying on information provided to me, assembling it and preparing it for use. As the

As I prepare to leave cable TV behind, I thought I'd take a walk down memory lane. I feel cable left me way before I left cable. There have been several low moments, but I can say that when the History Channel showed the Planet of the Apes, I was at a loss. I grew up in the late 1970's... in Detroit, the last major

I'm inviting your opinions on the following topic that's foremost on my mind this summer: When do you know it's time to grow? I founded my business just over a year ago. I have been building it slowly, conservatively with the help of great clients (partners, really) and patient, understanding consultants. As you may have experienced, there are only so many hours in the day.

The following is a unpublished article about a wonderful reunion I had last summer. Enjoy! Living overseas is a remarkable experience. In my case, I learned a language, made life-long friends and got to know a beautiful, historic culture. I lived in Vienna, Austria as a 21 year old AHA student in 1988, and returned as a 42 year old in 2009. If that trend keeps
