I just wanted to tell you how energizing it is to read ... very thought-provoking. In the mornings, I'm entering the train tired and groggy, and arriving in Penn Station energized and ready to go. The reading also sparks my mind into action-mode, and I invariably create a to-do list while reading." -- Andrew Weinberg CPSM, Senior Marketing and Business Development Manager, Langan Engineering & Environmental Services "Love, Love, Love your newsletter!"

About this month's issue

You may have noticed that you did not receive your copy of this newsletter in the last two months. The reason: I've decided to put The Marketplace Master™ newsletter on hiatus.

First, I need to focus my energies on some family caretaking. This effort is vitally important to me. Second, I am working on a significant initiative to create a United States-based Center for cross-sector professional service executive education. I am very excited about this new avenue, which I will pursue in addition to my ongoing consulting, research and CMO group facilitation work. (So, NO, I am not retiring!)

I'll also continue writing my blog, The Expertise Marketplace^TM. I encourage you to keep in touch through my blog. And I encourage you to send your ideas for topics you'd like to see covered there or in my other future writing.
