The world of public relations has changed and my guest, Amy Levy, Founder and CEO of Amy Levy Public Relations has changed too.  Not only in the way she runs her business but the types of services she provides her clients.  

Listen in as Amy shares her decades of experience from her big agency days in New York to the successful twenty years and counting with her own business.  She shares some wonderful insights on the work she does for her clients and I’m sure you’ll walk away with ideas of how they might help drive business for your company.

Be honest with yourself. Have you ever been the person who interrupts or feels the need to take over a conversation? Not really listening and just waiting for the opportunity to grab hold of the conversation and interject what’s on your mind?  Is that a conversation?

What is the cost of not being a good listener?  Mistakes at work, family issues, losing friends?

Good, active listening is a soft skill you need to develop, as it’s essential in your life’s every aspect.

Join me, Angelo Ponzi, at the Business Growth Café this week as we explore the dos and don’ts of being a good listener.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock or sitting in your bedroom staring at a wall, you’ve heard the term Brand or Branding.

Now depending on who you’re talking to, what a brand stands for or how you leverage it in your business to differentiate and build a relationship with your customers, well that is the question.

Today on the show I have Bronson Ma, Chief Creative Officer at Bronson Ma Creative to talk about brand and brand building.

How many of you want to write a book?  How many of you started writing a book or two, but never finished.  I hate to say it, but I fall into the latter category. 

I have spoken to so many people that think about writing a book, get overwhelmed, and it never gets from your head to paper. 

That’s where a ghostwriter comes in.

Today I had a great conversation with Laura Gale, Ghostwriter on how a ghostwriter can help get your idea onto the page, the process of publishing and so many other insights.  It’s a lesson to get your idea from your head to a published book.

Please join us for a stimulating conversation.
