The LinSanity of Tebowing: Why It Matters to Business
Nothing captivates your full attention like coming down a Colorado ski slope at lunchtime and seeing a flash mob of close to 400 adults in front of the ski lodge, simultaneously moving into a position that looks like a cross between genuflection and Rodin’s The Thinker – on skis.
That was my first up-close interaction with the Tebowing phenomenon (with a bastardized version of the music from “St. Elmo’s Fire” playing in the background, no less).
No sooner did the Broncos lose that January playoff game and Tebowing quickly faded away , when up popped LinSanity – based on the sudden rise of Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks.
New JumpStart Facilitated MasterMind Program…
Like to have your own personal team to guide you through difficult times, sharing their insights and helping you to stay on track? Thinking about hiring a coach but not sure if that’s the right path for you?
This year we’re offering a new option that combines some of the best elements of mastermind groups with group and 1:1 coaching to keep you on track for success.
Our new JumpStart program is geared towards new and established consultants. It’s based on groups of no more than 8 people for a four month period and includes a total of 6 sessions: two in-person group breakfasts to start and end the program, as well as three group teleconferences, plus one 1:1 call with Linda midway through the program, plus ongoing email support, online community and biweekly discussion emails.
The first session will kick off in early April. Discounts are available for members of the Leverage2Market community.
