Posted on August 30th, 2008, by Meggin McIntosh

Opportunity in the Los Angeles area:

Great for coaching interactions, consulting, networking, etc.  I’m going to post this near my desk to help me. 
Not sure where I heard it, but I unearthed it today in a pile of great ideas.

Thanks and maybe this would be good to post on the [...]
