In researching video production costs for speaker demos, I Stumbled Upon an interview with Mark LeBlanc at the Georgia chapter of the National Speakers Association. Mark, Small Business Success, is one of our own North County residents. In this video, he’s offering some insights into the world of the professional speaker.
I interviewed him for North San Diego Business@Large. Here’s the audio.

Last night I joined my good friend, Sheryl Roush, Sparkle Presentations, at her book signing for her Heart of a Woman book. I, along with many other women in the business community provided inspirational passages, humorous and serious stories, as well as poems. It may have started with Heart of a Woman, but it certainly didn’t end there. It was followed by Heart of a Mother. Rounding out the trilogy is the newest release….
On Thursday, December 6th, many of the contributors to Sheryl’s newest release, Heart of the Holidays, will again gather for a book signing at the Borders in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. There they will be autographing and reading their original stories and poems !
