The Security Catalyst

Greetings from Ocean City, MD! We came down here this weekend to spend our Easter Weekend with some friends. Having an RV allows us the ability to travel as a family for work and for pleasure. Now that we’re back on the road, I remember why I love these trips so much (even when I am working): I welcome the opportunity to stop the world for a bit, get outside, relax and unwind with my family.

As I look back on the last few months, I am excited about the ground we have covered and the opportunities that come before us. Thank you for your continued support. As we prepare to take some next steps as a group, I wanted to share with you some plans – both to get your feedback and to ask for your help.

April is proving to be an interesting month: several of the efforts I (and some colleagues) have been working on for the last year are “ready.” In addition to launching some new offerings and solutions, we’re taking the family on an RV adventure in April/May and gearing up for a “Security Revival Tour” in 2007, followed by a “Campaign Across America to Protect Information” for 2008.

I’ll share more details about the tour(s) and such in the coming weeks. I could use your help in selecting cities, helping to spread the word and maybe even guiding some logistics. In return, those that help will discounted or free training, coaching and the opportunity to spend some time together.

I need some help - Short Term
In two weeks, we are leaving Albany, NY and heading to: Nashville, Atlanta, Key West and Baltimore. We are currently planning the following schedule:

•    Nashville (arrive Monday, April 23, leave Wednesday April 25 or Thursday April 26)
•    Atlanta (arrive Thursday April 26, Talladega April 27 – 29, back to ATL 4/30 – 5/2)
•    Key West (5/3 or maybe 5/4 to 5/8 or maybe 5/9)
•    Baltimore (5/10 – 5/18)

Atlanta is hopefully going to see the launch of the SEN/Salon and some evening gatherings. I have a long stretch in Baltimore and could really use some help connecting and reconnecting with the various groups I have worked with there.

In each city, we’d like to offer the following programs:
1.    Are you Making a Living, or a Life? (morning) combined with Career Compass Coaching (afternoon)
2.    Speaking About Security (public, private or semi-private)

Where feasible, I’m happy to offer some professional keynotes to the organizations that are in a position to support my efforts (or otherwise are good groups and would help you or make a difference).

SCC members can take 10% off or select a BONUS coaching session. In addition, registered participants in each location are eligible to win:
-    coaching session (value: $250)
-    presentation makeover (value: $500)

If you can help, please drop me a note and I’ll send you more information on the different programs, etc. We are working to finalize our marketing plan this week, and then spending Q2 working to get all of our marketing and branding in place. We’re all close!!

Thank you for your help and continued support.
