I was just talking with my friend about this yesterday at dinner . Don’t know how we got on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do recall having a wonderful chicken salad with cranberries on it. I digress…

To Michael Smith: You can obtain as many pro bono jobs as 24 hours will hold — just pick an agency you are passionate about and ask. Every not-for-profit service agency needs extra hands and creative spirit to get their word out. Consider it a job – meet the deadlines and do what you promise to do. It’s a great way to build a network as well.

Amanda,

You are right when you urge people to “toot” their “own horn” or, as we say in Scotland, “blow your own trumpet.” Being seen as a blowhard can sometimes be the interpretation of such actions but, plenty of companies happily ignore that kind of response without the track record to support their claims and that makes me despair yet encouraged that I’m not in that landfill area.
I think it is important to declare your worth, your skills, your commitment, your contacts, your ideas, your dedication to clients – as opposed to saying or promising one thing. Talking a good game is, for me, is just not on.
I work hard for clients, offering great support, great value and results.

Your comments have been good to read and I wish you continued success.

Kind regards,
Mike

Best,
