At a time when people around the world worry about our friends in Mumbai, only the Internet brings us the news instantly and directly. And a time when households are under unprecedented financial pressure, digital media and e-commerce can play a vital role in helping us save money on everything we buy. The digital economy is transforming education, philanthropy, music, even dating. And none of it would happen without matching sponsors and publishers as efficiently and creatively as the people you're addressing.”There are very specific behaviors you can invoke to thrive in the natural cycles of the ad business.In this episode you will learn:Confronting Personal Fear and AnxietyTechniques to Manage Through ChangeEmotional LeadershipACTIONChange your thinking!3 Exercises:Socratic QuestioningCalm-Abiding MeditationLifestyle Balance AssessmentRESULTYou will be richer, thinner, more loved. ;)Less stress, more accomplishment, a great leader through using these techniques and perspectives I’ll teach you today.
