The Power of Words

This beautiful video demonstrates how words can motivate, persuade, and tug at our heart strings.  I also think it has a deeper meaning: “Do what you can for those who can’t.”

Pre-Order Your Copy of POISED FOR SUCCESS

I have some great news to share.  I just finished editing my manuscript, POISED FOR SUCCESS, and here’s what it looks like.  Yes, this is what a book looks like before it becomes a book.

And speaking of my new book, I’m extremely proud to share my new book cover with you.  Ta-Da!I hope you love it as much as I do!

Now the countdown begins.  In just a few short months my book will be in bookstores everywhere.  I’m certain that the first printing will sell out quickly so if you’d like to pre-order your book before it comes out on November 8, here are a couple of “Early Bird” incentives.

If you pre-order one copy of my book between now and November 1, or have already pre-ordered a copy of my book, I will send you an autographed bookplate as a thank-you!  E-mail me at info@etiquetteexpert.com and include in the subject line “Bought your book.”

Pre-order five copies and you will receive a free signed, advance reader copy of POISED FOR SUCCESS when it comes out next month.  This is a tremendous offer because you will see it before most media outlets do.  Just e-mail your Amazon receipt to me and put in the subject line “Five copies.”  If you choose to wait until November 8 to purchase the book, I’m still extremely grateful.

July is National Cell Phone Courtesy Month

July is National Cell Phone Courtesy Month, an event I founded in 2002 to help educate the public about the proper use of cell phones. Since that time, I have received an enormous amount of publicity. Here’s one of my favorite videos, hosted by Rachel Canelli of Phillyburbs.com, featuring some of my etiquette tips.

And just in case you missed it, I was a guest on the Jimmy and Jen Show this morning on 102.3 WXLC in Chicago. Listen to this podcast if you want to know where I got the idea for National Cell Phone Courtesy Month.
