On communication, professional and otherwise.

For writers to whom it doesn’t come easy

The ultra-classy Vancouver writing coach Daphne Gray-Grant has made "It's The Thinking That's Hard," a video to evangelize the writing technique that transformed Gray-Grant from an editor who hated to write … to a writer. The theme song here is composed and performed by her 15-year-old son.

Real. Conference.

03.05.2010 by David Murray // 10 Comments

If you care about employee communication, there is no better conference to go to this year than RonCon 2010, which is being held in two cities, Vancouver and Calgary, the week of March 22. 

(I recommend Vancouver.)

Ron Shewchuk has not only organized some of the best employee communication people to speak at this conference, but he's organized the most candid crew of speakers ever assembled. (And if you think you get the unvarnished truth from consultants and practitioners presenting their ideas and case studies at most communication conferences, you're about 50 percent off.)

There there might be crying, and there might be shouting and there will be laughing: But with Shewchuk, Crescenzos, Salvo, Williams, Gray-Grant, Wah and yours truly, there will be no b.s. at this meeting.

So if you've got real questions screaming for honest answers and real problems that demand real solutions, come to this real conference.

Today's the early-bird deadline. Sign up by the end of the day today and get a big discount.
