My Love Affair with Seth Godin

Share This Post:

I can’t honestly remember when it started. I was introduced to him by friend and colleague, Sue Tellier of JetCo Solutions. Sue was always going on and on about how intelligent and insightful this Seth guy was and giggling when his name was mentioned. I assumed it was a girlish crush and then I stumbled upon his blog.

The blog, oh the blog. He gets you with one or two paragraphs that tap into topics such as stupidity, leadership, organization and becoming indispensable. The best part is my boyfriend Seth, doesn’t go on and on and on – he gets to the point in several short paragraphs and you keep coming back for more.
I had another friend (okay it is the same friend) who recommended that I read Seth’s book, Linchpin. Now this was a game changer for me, it is when our relationship went to the next level.

You know, how some books come along in your life (in my case a man who wrote a great book) when you are struggling with a major decision that to you seems simple, but to every one else insane? Well Seth helped put some clarification around it for me, and like all women want, he validated me (and my decision).

In short, my love affair with Seth will continue as long as he keeps writing and being insightful or until I am handed a restraining order.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energyâ„¢ and what it means to own what makes you - you.

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete.
