Thank you, wonderful Itzik Amiel, for this copy of your book, for the lovely inscription, and for being you! Itzik spoke at this week’s virtual annual Legal Marketing Association conference #LMA20 on authenticity, trust, engagement, and effectiveness. He knocked it out of the park. I just posted this recommendation on his LinkedIn profile; it bears repeating here: “While I have only known Itzik a little while now, I feel like he’s been a friend for years and he has had a significant impact on me personally and professionally. I have been privileged to have two brainstorming/coaching sessions with him and he spoke at our annual Legal Marketing Association conference this week. He has given me great ideas to enrich everything from my daily work life to our association’s talent show! One of the lessons he drove home that I then repeated throughout the conference week was that brand goes well beyond your work life. Let people know all aspects of who you are. THAT is your brand and that will make you accessible. Well, he is infinitely accessible, pragmatic, strategic, brilliant, and, well, a great deal of fun. I can’t wait to continue to collaborate with him. He is someone you must have in your network!” Follow him on LinkedIn - find out more about his work at http://itzikamiel.com (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvBIztDfvi/?igshid=1eazg1y2lsyym

LMA’s Got SKILLS! That sure was fun tonight, and, for those who missed this Legal Marketing Association conference talent show, the performances from #legalmarketing luminaries Jason Klika, Heather Layfield McCullough, Jim Jarrell, Jim Durham, Lauren McNee, Richard Hefner, Brenda Pontiff, and Renee Branson were divine! Congrats to our winner - voted on by the audience - Jason! Highlights included glorious vocals, evocative poetry, whimsical interpretive dance routines, soothing instrumentals, grand comedy, soothing bedtime stories, a sh*t-ton of Sondheim, ridiculous costumes, and some very cute dogs. Heaven! Thank you to an incredibly patient team, including Kristy Perkins, Malaika Palmer, Christina Abes (and my fearless engineer husband John Mola) who worked through my various and sundry tech issues and general hysteria earlier in the afternoon. Such grace, calm, and talent! Thanks to our conference co-chairs Kristen Bateman and Jonathan Mattson and LMA president Jill Mason Huse for their faith in me, for their encouragement, and for allowing me to let my freak flag fly (photographic evidence follows). This is a helluva community! I am grateful to have been embraced by such kind and talented humans, and, as we noted tonight, our personal “brands” should celebrate every aspect of our personalities, talents, and interests. Thank you to HQ’s Danielle Holland , Kat Seiffert , Kristin Frankiewicz and team for their tireless support and promotion. #lma20 #lmamkt #lma20selfie - thank you, Lauren and Renèe, for the #greatestshowman screen grabs too! @lmaintl @jahuse @kristenbateman96 @kristyperkins1 @brendapontiff @resilience.bounty @jimjarrell #showtunes #skills #quarantinelife #talent #sondheim #barbrastreisand #spiderman #batman #starwars #frozen #lizaminnelliforpresident #harleyquinn #madonna #janetjackson (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGltSXXjgGq/?igshid=o2mwlrlt3ayo
