For nearly four years, I have been a friend and collegue of Ron Finklestein. Ron is an author and an absolutely excellent business resource. More importantly, Ron provides incredibly effective personal & professional coaching services. If you do not have a relationship with a coach--you should. While Ron is currently MY success coach; he could also become Your Success Coach.
I have been attending Ron's unique Master Mind program for executives for nearly three years and I cannot begin to measure the benefits of sitting at a table with six or more other CEOs, discussing what works and what doesn't as well as the strategies and ideas we would like to test out. The conversational interchange--you might refer to them as Intense Conversations--is nothing short of astounding.
Check out Ron's web site: Your Business Coach.net . If you have any interest at all in becoming better at what you do--THIS should be one of your resources.
