In difficult times, how we view the present and the future often dictates our actions and reactions. Accident prone people often draw attention due to their “bad luck.” When we wake up on the “wrong side of the bed” do we not view things negatively throughout the day? Rhetorical questions, I know, but are we not what we think we are?
Current industry conditions: Good or Bad? Research shows that our industry is cyclical. The pendulum swings from buyers market to sellers every seven or eight years or so. PricewaterhouseCoopers details this “cycle” in a very concise Hospitality report that is used by hoteliers and hotel owners to assist them in purchasing and forecasting. They, fairly accurately, predict trends and forecast when there will be ups and downs. So what? How prepared are you (were you) for any downturn?

Currently, I have over 1,000 contacts, belong to a dozen different groups, have been recommended by over 50 people, and am an active user of the answers and recently released application sections. I also spend much of my time conducting “best practices” consulting, training and coaching on effective use of LinkedIn for senior executives and front line staff.

Please visit my Linked In profile and references are available upon request. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
In a turbulent economy or otherwise, those who invest in the favor economy are the ones who will always get a head! Which one are you? If I asked three people who know you, which one would they say you are?
