The model for future success from Tom Peters Company

 

Go to Stephanie Palmer's interview

After years in the film industry, Stephanie Palmer thought she might know a thing or two about "taking a meeting." As a result, she started a coaching/consulting practice—see stephaniepalmer.com—and she wrote Good in a Room: How to Sell Yourself (and Your Ideas) and Win Over Any Audience. You can read her Cool Friends interview, or listen to it by using this link for an MP3 file. For a few short and quick tips, we also have available an MP3 titled "Three Things."
