The Net Present Value in Halifax



Where have you gone Joe Di Maggio…

Ahhh, that Mrs. Robinson; it’s still one of my fav Simon & Garfunkel songs.

Except, maybe, in my case, it should read Where have you gone Michael Di Lauro?

Hmmm, doesn’t quite fit, does it?

The syllables are all wrong.

Anyway…

Haven’t posted in about a week.

It’s been super busy.

There was the Montreal signing.

There was a book giveaway, won by an enthusiastic reader in California—congrats Cortney!

There’s this piece I’m preparing for a print magazine.

And there’s this other thing…

I’m invited to Halifax.

Ever been there?

It’s nice.

Halifax.

A beautiful city. At once, rich in history, diversified in culture, and charming in setting.

A lovely spot, yes. But it’s not tourism or sightseeing bringing me there.

It’s business.

I’m spending a couple of days meeting a consultant or two, chatting up some business owners.

A few financial types, perhaps.

You know, working folk and such.

I’m also delivering a half-day insight—a micro symposium of sorts— into the business aspects of my book.

And I’d like your help.

I’ve come up with a theme for my presentation, I’m calling it The 5 Myths of a Working Life.

It explores those so-called principles for becoming a successful manager, professional practitioner, or business owner.

And I’d like to run it by you. Get your input, your comments, your suggestions.

It’s almost done, but I need a  few more days before I can post an outline.

See what you think.

Thumbs Up. Thumbs Down.

That kind of thing.

If you have time, please read it.

Then feel free to offer any comment that comes to mind.

That would be a tremendous help.

Thank you.
