Allow me to explain. Since 2006, I’ve done hundreds … Read More
Not only did the pandemic upend the speaking-engagement world, I also get the sense that things won’t be going back to the way they were. For example, one organization I’ve worked with has told me they’ve had limited demand for in-person programs, so most of their programs have remained online.

Sporadically I get feedback from people who have taken my online course Drafting Clearer Contracts: Masterclass. Today the professional-development person at a law firm said to me in an email, “We’ve signed up a few of our associates this year for your Masterclass sessions with great feedback.” And here’s the review someone just posted: This is a great class.

I’ve long used anonymous testimonials, with the thought that attaching someone’s name to a testimonial is meaningless unless it’s a name that many would recognize. But with my redesigned website, that has changed. Now testimonials are linked to the person’s LinkedIn or Twitter profile and features their profile photo.
