Tonight we met at the Red Rock Resort Pool Area for a great networking event. We are respected members of the team and it is our job to respond to the changing demands of our leader’s schedule, travel and projects as their right-hands, their business partners. It was close to sunset. How great is that? We become READY.

In my case, I am lucky, since I only have to track calls for myself and use my daily journal or agenda (call it what you will) to make notes. Do you wish that you could be able to track calls and make sure that you have all of the details in place? This happens to everyone from time to time.
