All The New Changes 'Round Here ...

I know I've been out of touch for some time, about a month actually. Well, lots has been happening 'round here and I wanted to keep you up to date on what has been going on.

After much deliberation and a lot of soul-searching, we've moved our operation and offices to Calgary over the past few weeks. To say it's been hectic would be an understatement. I've been commuting to Calgary several times each week in perhaps the worst spring weather Alberta has seen in a long time, not to mention all of the increased traffic on the highways (perhaps the best economy in the world right now has packed the highways full of trucks and other drivers).

I've partnered up with two other fine gentlemen, Ken Larson and Marty Park and the three of us are all operating our speaking businesses out of the same office. I will tell you more about these other gentlemen at a later date.

Meanwhile, Meghan has jumped into the chair, grabbed the bull by the horns and has surprised everyone as to how fast she has taken over running the day-to-day operations of the business. She has a new title: VP Everything. Boy that's suitable.

For example, in addition to getting up to speed on roles and responsibilities, Meghan is heading up the "New Video" project. There will be a new video available to potential clients and on-line in very short order. (Talk to Meghan if your group wants one).

She has also taken over the "New Website" project and has taken on the responsibility of making the new website friendlier, easier to navigate, cleaner and faster loading.

She has set up a far-superior contact management system to anything I had before and is also making sure each of the guys has the proper materials to be marketed. She rides us pretty hard to keep on top of these things. That's a good thing.

In addition, Meghan and Leanne (Marty's Assistant) have been doing their own training in setting up new process within the office, in addition to answering phone calls, co-ordinating the schedules of three speakers and finding time to run to Starbucks for a grande London Fog (Leanne) and grande Coconut Latte (Meghan).

Meghan has managed to pull so much stuff off of my desk, that in past was cluttering my desk, that I now have more time to do what I need to do: namely write more books and another speech. Stay tuned. They are in progress right now.

Oh, and one final note. About 5 and a half years ago, Meghan approached me telling me that she wanted to run my business one day - she was simply planting the seed. Well, five and a half years later, she is running the show for not just me but for two other speakers as well. She has been around the speaking business her whole teenage and adult life. She knows it as well as I do and perhaps better than some who are in it. Meghan is my daughter. And today her Dad is very proud.
