Before I officially became a Social Media Manager, I had to sit through so many seminars where they kept on and on about 110% and giving it your all and lots of NLP stuff to make you buy their package which would propel you into the ranks of internet millionaires. Some of these things run for FOUR days - eight hours per day with six concentrated sales pitches.

Softboy succumbed to two expensive purchases whilst I was not sitting beside him holding no to his wallet and both have turned out to be expensive mistakes with no chance of getting your money back because you worked it out too late.

I so wish I could have quoted from that email! What I’ve found is that personality, commitment and just wanting to help other people without exploiting them is a far more satisfying career ethos.

If a company can’t provide its employees with a cup of tea, who wants to work there?

Hello Brummie - These meetings are a sure fire cure for insomnia if ever I need one. Best I avoid them in future, although as I said I cannot see me being invited back by that crowd.

Norman,the amount of times I have had to sit through that type of presentation during my “management” years, just wish I had known that formula then, glad to say I’m now done with all that, just me and my better half relaxing in S.W. France.
Never had an interesting presenter like yours though …
might have kept me awake a little longer.

Brummie.
