A Surprise Mention in the Gleaner

Jamaica Gleaner cover Wednesday  June 12  2013

 

Yesterday morning, I received a bit of a surprise. A friend gave me a call to let me know that I had appeared on the front page of the Jamaica Gleaner – the country’s largest daily newspaper. An interview I did by phone a few weeks ago was carried on the front page of the Gleaner, along with the picture copied here and a single quote.

It was a pleasant surprise, followed by a few supportive calls from friends.

This month I’ll be speaking at the NCB SME Conference in Montego Bay. I’ll be part of a panel along with a friend and client, David Martin, of Jamaica Producers. Our session is entitled  “Efficiency and Effectiveness – the Key to Survival in a Tough Economy.”

During May, I spoke at two conferences, three times in all.

The Human Resource Management Association of Trinidad and Tobago (HRMATT) invited me to speak at their biennial conference and I spoke on two topics: “How Caribbean Executives Can Raise Their Standards,” and “Transforming Time Management Learning with Gamification.”

After this conference in Port of Spain, I travelled to Dallas, Texas to speak at the American Society of Training and Development Conference (ASTD.) My topic there was “How to Stop Failing at Behavior Change Training – The Case of Time Management.”
