The Vision
that every person on our planet
share his/her unique gifts and reach their potential, without limitation by who or what they know –
whether employed, self-employed, or unemployed!
Paul Aaron Travis is co-author of Leadership on Demand and contributing author of 42 Rules for Business Books and From the Heart 2009. Networking-2020.com precedes his next book.
In addition to running marketing consultancy, Vivify LLC (see Marketing-2020 blog) he is President of the Pacific NW Chapter of the Institute of Management Consultants and co-founded the Seattle Chapter of the Customer Relationship Management Association.
Paul studied branding at the Executive Program of Harvard Business School as well as mathematics and computer science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Renaissance man who lives on Bainbridge Island (due west of Seattle) along with his wife, daughter, and son.
The “kicker” to this story is that Paul’s first career was as a professional software engineer for some small companies and a very large one. In fact, he says he never collected business cards or knew why he would follow up with people for the first decade of his work life. Fast forward to now, and he is teaching classes on the subject. It just goes to show that even middle-aged dogs can learn new tricks.
Testimonials
“Paul’s networking series has been of immense value to me in a number of ways given my introverted personality. Committing to work with Paul has given me the kick-in-the-pants I needed to get in action — and gotten me a cheerleader for my efforts and accomplishments. Working with Paul is a pleasure and worth every penny!” (Stephen Gibson, Architect)
“I’ve never met another person more connected than Paul. And not just is he connected, but each connection hold a meaning and a memory. The program he takes you through in this production will give you incredibly valuable tools that will not just make networking easier, but it will ensure that the connections you make are qualitative. Listen to this man. He knows of what he speaks.” (Britt Santowski, Author/Facilitator)
