Come See Me Speak in Denver
On October 3, I will be speaking at the National Speakers Association Colorado Chapter’s monthly meeting. But this time I won’t be speaking about innovation. My presentation is entitled “Costly mistakes I’ve made during my speaking career…and how you can grow your business by avoiding them.” I will provide a dozen tips for growing your speaking business.
I will be sharing the stage with the incomparable Patricia Fripp, past national president and hall of famer.
To learn more, visit the NSA Colorado website. I hope to see you there.

Poker and the Parkers
Last night, I held a launch party for my Innovation Personality Poker at the home of Robert and Joan Parker. OK, actually the party was planned a while back (I bought it at a charity auction) and it just coincidentally fell at the time when the cards were officially released.
Robert B. Parker, is the author of dozens of books, including the Spenser series (which was the basis of the 1980′s TV show, “Spenser: For Hire”). I have been a HUGE fan for so many years; this was truly an honor.
One of the party attendees said it so well: “I was like a boy from the Bronx around Babe Ruth. Robert Parker’s writing has now been in my life for so long. As long as he’s writing there’s always a moment of joy to anticipate.” So true.
Joan Parker is an incredible woman with many talents. Lately she has been focusing her energies on raising money for a number of non-profit organizations. She is truly one of the most generous and down-to-earth people I have ever met.
Our party was at capacity with 20 friends, family members, clients, and colleagues in attendance. It was a pleasure to have Liz Walker, a Boston news icon, there as well. You may recall that I was on her TV show back in 2006.
Joan and Robert, thank you for sharing your home and your time. You were both incredibly gracious. It was a night we will all remember.
P.S. Robert’s book, ”Appaloosa,” is being turned into a blockbuster movie starring Ed Harris, Renée Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, and many other big names.
P.P.S. Sadly, since this blog entry was written, Robert Parker passed away. He will be missed by all of this loyal fans.
