The face of business

Seth Godin (marketting know how extrodinaire) talks about how every business tells a story, whether then want it to or not.
He’s also talked about how an organization will spend so much money on the advertising, the colour scheme, the mission of their company and then pay their front line people, the people who the public [...]

Joanna Gleason

I wanted to write about a master class that Joanna Gleason taught at NETC. I’ve been following her career ever since she played the Bakers Wife in Into the Woods. I was excited to see her in action, and truth be told, I have never seen a master class before. At the conference, she was [...]
