AUTOGRAPHS FOR MY BOOKS

When my book “It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask: It’s all about Communication” was released, it was a very special day when I held the first copy in my hand. Can’t really explain the feeling.

It was interesting, I struggled with how I should I sign the book if I knew the person well. Should I write Kathy or Kathy Condon? Should I use the current date?

Cannot tell you how much energy I wasted on trying to figure out how to sign the book. Then I realized I could pose the question on LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com Before I knew it I had answers flowing in to help me with my dilemma.

Yesterday, I was honored to be trainer for the California Placement Association http://www.calplacement.org at three different sites, San Mateo, Bakersfield, and Glendora, California. They purchased book for all attendees.

During the course of the day, attendees asked me to autograph their books. I made a decision. On the blank page following the title page I wrote something specifically for the individual and signed my whole name and dated it.

You can get advice from all over the world. When it comes down it, listen to your heart and do what that feels right for you. There is not a perfect person in the world---we are all unique – stay true to yourself.
