So today marks my 5th year blogging here. And yeah, I know, “whoopty friggn do.” But maybe it’s a chance tho to clear up one fallacy and that’s this weird belief that your success attracting clients and business is directly proportional to the frequency of posts you publish. Man, I *really* wish that was true. It’s not. Yes, there was a time, early on, where having a blog, like this one, was unique or at very least showed people I wasn’t completely a mouth breather — but all it’s ever been (at best) is one factor in a series of factors that informed a decision. And trust me, knowing this, there have been many times in the past 5 years where the ah-f*-its have taken over and tempted me to abandoned this, but I’m glad I’ve stuck with it, and my sincere thanks to those of you here who have done the same. Onward.

Congrats Mike. It’s amazing to think about how much has changed over the last 5 years. Thanks for being a pioneer for the rest of us, and thank you for sticking with it.

Hi Mike, in 2005 you wrote about the importance of Media Training for Companies. Today, how important do you think Media training or Public Speaking Training are for companies?

well, i guess nowadays you should ask: what sort of media are you training them for? i’m still a big believer in preparation of any kind.

Traditional Media and New Media, of course.Specially if we think that now WE are all media… training isn’t essential to communicate in a professional way?
