Welcome Class!

This week you focused on listening and finding the water coolers for your business or career interest.

How did you do?  If you have not had a chance take a moment an look for the hidden opportunities.

Going forward let's create a written blog, post on a blog and have fun with blogs during the course of the class.  In the future some of you may even want to create a video blog - let me know if you do!

First of all you may want to get a gmail email account from Google.com to use for this class - it will make your life easier.

You can use several free platforms to create your own blog site.
