We will waste neither your time nor ours, but we understand that there are those who find this to be a fast, easy, and effective way to get out information bytes in a timely manner.  And we’ll also share thoughts and quotes from time to time that speak to personal and professional growth and leadership.

For those who are still under the impression that Twitter is a waste of time, I suggest that it certainly can be if you let it or if you tweet with wild abandon and lack of consideration for your audience. It is, however, a remarkable tool for engaging in — or starting — conversations with like-minded people and making connections with clients and potential clients. But a Leadership tool? Yes…because before you can Lead, you have to Connect, and Twitter is just one more way to connect with the people in your industry who are already having conversations with you!

So AvoLeaders and friends of AvoLead, please be sure to Follow Us on Twitter and we’ll follow you back!

Let the tweets begin!

We all know this statement from Andrew Carnegie is true:

I expect you all (Avolead) are digging out from under after being “out of pocket” all week, so will be brief with the promise of more when I see you again. I mainly want to thank you and AvoLead for a fabulous week of learning and camaraderie. I walked away with so much and appreciate all it took for AvoLead to negotiate and coordinate to make it all happen. From great assessments to passionate presenters, it was all so very well done.
Thank you. I look forward to the future in eager anticipation!
Now, let us hear from you. Thanks for all you did (individually and collectively) to make it a great week.
