EXECUTIVE COACH AND BUSINESS COMMUNICATION EXPERT ATTENDS YWCA ANNUAL DINNER WITH CHRIS HANSEN

What great follow-up! I attended the event on Wednesday and in Friday's mail came a postcard stating that $144,000 had been raised at the event! Congratulations to the YWCA and big thank you for the donors who came up with a $40,000 match!

Eight hundred people attended the event! http://www.ywcaclarkcounty.org

Chris Hansen of Dateline (NBC) was the speaker. His focus was "To Catch a Predator." Chris was great for he spoke from his heart, used no notes and gave us clear tips how to protect our teenagers. Kathy Kniep, Executive Director of Clark County's YWCA told us that Chris had taken the time to meet with a number of teenagers before the event.

Networking possibilities were bountiful for so many of us came out to support the YWCA. It was a terrific event and Staff/Volunteers should be congratulated for a job well done!!

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:

Take time to make appointments. There are so many people interesting people in this world. We get busy and think "I'd like to have lunch with them some time" -- then we get sidetracked and it never happens.

I have made it a goal to set up two appointments a day. Not only am I having great conversations, my company is flourishing. People do business with people they like and know.
