Well, I always love it when something I write up can ellicit discussion
among the VO community and my article Thursday on investing in yourself
did just that. My inbox was buzzing with kind comments, letters of thank you
for encouragement, and questions about continuing education. As you
know, I am always here for any of you who think you might benefit from my
experience in this industry which is rapidly approaching the 20 year
mark.
For all who wrote me and inquired about continuing education, here are
some upcoming workshops that come highly recommended by yours truly:
