Learn to Defy Gravity. (That’ll Put a Spring in Your Step.)

Okay, here’s a month for you coming up. It starts with April Fool’s Day – followed immediately by Good Friday. Thirteen days later, it’s you and the IRS, mano a mano. So looking ahead, the end of April may seem like a long way off.  It isn’t.

By the time April 30 rolls up and the vernal equinox 40+ days in the past, you’ll want put the Spring back in your step. Get it via AMAHouston’s Professional Development SIG seminar that very day.

The SIG people are calling it “Defying Gravity” because there are some marketers who overcome every challenge: They get themselves on the scoreboard and stay there. They constantly rack up points in categories like on-the-job performance, better relationships with the bosses, more influence and even bigger marketing budgets. They’re energized and on top of things full-time.

The SIG is thinking, “How can we get some of that for AMAHouston members?” Its secret weapon is Becky Robbins who is Partner and Senior Consultant with Houston-based Mark Kamin & Associates. She’ll be the star of the SIG show and bringing her passionate coaching methods with her.

Robbins is all about generating peak performance, about growing personal fulfillment, more revenue and stronger, more rewarding organizational relationships.  She’s also strangely fond of marketing communicators and PR people. “There’s plenty of cynicism in some industries,” she says, “but marketers are more buoyant – imaginative, hard-working, loving what they’re doing.  Marketers have to be pretty positive and companies with optimistic marketers can produce the things that will drive greater success.

The Professional Development SIG and its co-chairs, Brenda Bramhill  and Kerry Fellers, are staging this event so you can take home the benefits*. Robbins will help you set “stretch goals” for a fulfilling future and even embrace unexpected change (‘cause who knows what will really happen after April 30?).

Most years, the month ahead starts with loud cries about “April Fools” and ends with shouts of “May Day! May Day!” This year you can discover how to defy gravity instead – a reserved seat is required for liftoff. BTW, I’m Richard Laurence Baron, AMAHouston volunteer and principal of Signalwrite Marketing.

*Stop (Word)Press. Mark Kamin & Associates is offering SIG attendees two great giveaways. You’ll have a chance to win either two free hours of one-on-one coaching with Becky Robbins – an $800 value; or one ticket to Robbins’s May event in Houston, “The Secrets of High-Powered Professional Sales People,” worth $300.
