Read any good books lately? Leaders are Readers – Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn, Book, Read, Success, LeadershipRead any good books lately?  I have not read any good books lately, but I have listened to MANY good books.  I devour audiobooks because it’s so convenient.  I can listen while walking, driving, and even having lunch.  One of my favorite audiobooks is The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn.  Jim Rohn was a speaker, motivational coach, and a philosopher.

Jim Rohn once said “If you want to hide something put it in a book“.

Isn’t that interesting?  There is so much good information to be discovered in the pages of a book.  I’m glad that success leaves clues.

His sound advice has stuck with me over the years and he is a classic.  If you want to step up your game on leadership, take his advice.  Leaders are Readers.  That was the inspiration for this drawing.

3 Tips for Planning A Successful Live Event

3 Tips for Planning A Successful Live Event

Event Planning, Conference, Event Planning ChecklistA few months ago, I had a great experience working with Pam Slim at her Power Boost Live event.  Wow, that was some conference (see blog post here).

Valerie Steiger was one of the featured speakers.  Valerie is a Master Coach and specializes in retreats, event planning and speaking.

Recently, I looked through my conference goodie bag and found pictures I made in my notebook during her session.  Valerie used lots of imagery while speaking which made it so enjoyable for me to draw, draw, draw 🙂

Valerie walked us step by step on creating a live event.  We all left the session wanting more.  The information she shared was actionable and practical.  Here are my favorite tips.

  1. An event can be with just 2 people.  I never about it that way, but it’s true.
  2. Engaging the senses during an event makes it memorable.   FEEL, SEE, HEAR, SMELL and TASTE
  3. Don’t squeeze too much into the agenda.  People need breathing room.  The MAGIC is in the white space.

I took my favorite quote from Valerie and made this sketchnote.

5 Super Marketing Tips I Learned From Darnyelle Jervey

business, magic, icons, images, sketchnotesThe Virginia Women’s Business Conference (#vwbc2012) had such a great line-up of speakers.  This event was held on 11/16/12 and I can’t wait to attend next year.   One of the most highly tweeted sessions was given by Darnyelle Jervey.

Darnyelle is an award winning author, speaker, and business strategist.   She is a business builder and a motivator who empowers women by helping them define their purpose and leverage their Incredible Factor.

Key take-aways from Darnyelle Jervey:

  1. Release your incredible factor and change the lives of others.
  2. You should be marketing your business 10-12 hours a week.
  3. You lose an opportunity to market if you have a one sided business card.
  4. When a problem is top of mind, people are actively seeking solutions.
  5. Identify your audience of 1, who has the problem you can solve.

Awesome stuff.  You can tell which ones were my favorites because I made them bold above 🙂

I really had fun creating these visual summaries.  Especially drawing the wand and the incredible magic dust.  Just makes me smile.  Hope you enjoy.
