Epic Living Hour Interview on Career Management
I had the great privilege of being interviewed by Eric Pennington of the Epic Living Hour. Eric asked some great questions about career management for those working in cubes, so take a listen.
My interview starts at 10-minutes into the hour. It was a lot of fun and I hope Eric’s listeners learned a lot from the interview.

This group, dedicated to sharing ideas for customer service, asked Scot to speak on a critical business subject for today: doing more with less. While oriented to the help desk environment, the 7 Strategies for Doing More With Less is an appropriate theme for most departments.

Write on the Sound
The weekend of October 6th is a favorite of mine — it is the weekend for Write on The Sound. About 200 participants go to Edmonds, WA, to hear presentations about their craft.
This year, I submitted a subject for a presentation — Technology for Writers — on how technology can help market a writer’s work. Fortunately, I was accepted to present by the committee.
The premise of the presentation is that writers need to utilize the digital tools of the Internet, specifically blogs, to build credibility and audience before being published and then marketing the work after being published.
Since I have a couple of different blogs and I also work in technology, I was able to blend the discussion to cover both the need for technology and the writing tools to promote the writers work with specific tips, techniques, and strategies.
Forty-five people attended the presentation and I had some great questions from the audience. About half of the people had no Internet presence and the other half did, so it was a challenge to match the information being presented to a diverse group.
