If you enjoy this, I challenge you to do your own “10 Things About Me,” too! What are your “10 Things” — the bits and pieces that connect the dots for your contacts?
I was inspired to do this by my long-time friends and colleagues, Chris and Tara, who noted their contacts were fragmented and had known of them in only bits and pieces. I learned quite a bit about them when they posted their lists and hope you’ll learn something new about me.
And, as Chris says, if we don’t toot our own horns, no one will! Go one and BE YOUR OWN BEST PUBLICIST (something I always say).
