Cheryl Noble is true to her name. She is a writer, dog lover and has a genuine interest in people too. She and I are fellow columnists for The Nevada City Advocate. When Touchdown Productions was looking to take over their local show “Mission Possible” on NCTV she was anxious to take the reins. The day I came into the studio she interviewed Lew Sitzer and Paul Minicucci the management team who were busy creating a telethon to raise money for the county’s libraries. Then she followed it with to more noble women who promoted the local food bank. Leaving me for last. Here is the video and the links to put you in touch with Cheryl and the show. Thanks Cheryl!

I just finished a TAB Board meeting where we used a problem solving model to be clear about what problem we are solving before we jump to the solution. How many times have we “solved” a problem only to figure out down the road that our solution didn’t work because we hadn’t  properly identified the right problem?

Not only did the TAB member who’s problem we worked on feel good, but the others either felt that they solved a similar problem in their business or found another issue to solve using this model as soon as they returned to the office. Fantastic.

Here is Lacey Bowman of East Main St Insurance – talking about her experience with her TAB Board.  BTW: Lacey Loves Insurance!

Tom Strolle of Best Friends Animal Clinic and TAB member in Grass Valley. CA  talks about how much his TAB board means to him. And he’s got the best darn vet jingle in the business.

Stan Smith of Gold Country Roofing talks about the value that TAB has brought to his life.

Virginie has been my hairdresser for 15 years. I didn’t think I would be able to replace my San Francisco hairdresser until I met Virginie and now no one else touches my hair. She and her staff are working hard to make VJ’s the place to be treated well and get piles of great products (like 100% natural hair colors) and information. Besides being a training salon, they truely work as a team. Check out their new website full of great tips and testimonials.

I have been a member of Grass Valley’s lunch time Le Tip networking group for almost three years. Dollar for dollar this networking group has netted more business for me in a number of different ways than any other marketing effort.

Lunch Bunch is a casual, volunteer lunch that is a part of the program. Click here to see what  some members, at lunch bunch, have to say about Le Tip:
