Award Titles Last…and Last
February 21st, 2013Winning awards sets you apart. For a long time.
My very first award client was the inimitable, indefatigable Karie Willyerd, now VP of Learning and Social Adoption at SuccessFactors.
She has many, many achievements to her name, but continues to include important award wins from when I worked on Sun’s applications.
Why?
Because they were powerful then, and they’re powerful now.
Exhibit A: Here’s the bio accompanying her March 28 Training Magazine Webinar, The 3.5 Million Year Daily Talent Cliff (for which I have already registered).
