Personal Branding Magazine update
First, I want to welcome our new co-editor, Miriam Salpeter, who has risen to the occasion already by reviewing the next issue. Miriam takes the well respected and wonderful Rebecca Thorman, who will still be aligned to the magazine at some level in the future. I look forward to published the next issue and it is by far the best one yet.
David Allen and team have a new website
David is the best-selling author of “Getting Things Done,” which the majority of millennials enjoy reading because we are crazy multi-taskers and thrive on accomplishing the most in the lease amount of time. His book has inspired a website dedicated to the GTD philosophy called “GTDtimes” and Oliver Starr is the editorial manager who has already made a very compelling blog. If you’ve read the book or are just interested in learning something knew, this is the place for you.
