Sacred sites and natural wonders in all their visual glory
Make an aerial pilgrimage to Israel, the world's only Jewish state and Holy Land to three major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Stunning high-definition footage showcases Israel in all its diverse glory, flying over sites where Jewish rebels gave their lives; where Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans built outposts of their empires; and where Jesus Christ lived and died. Witness the magnificence of the country's many holy sites, including the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, alongside exotic seaside resorts and the austere beauty of the Judean desert.
With informative narration by Israeli American violinist Itzhak Perlman and ethnic music, Visions of Israel presents the natural and historical wonders of this sacred landscape.

Series 1 Episode 1: I love the introduction of the famed detective as well as his iconic car! (the infamous red jag) You can feel the excitement over the potential of a new series as you watch it. I wonder if anyone ever imagined this episode would lead to 33 episodes and two amazing spin off series (a sequel and a prequel)
First of the Morse series and great introduction to John Thaw & Kevin Whatley. This is a great Brit murder mystery series and a great start.
In this police series, situated in the stately area around Oxford, the mild mannered but nevertheless very thorough Chief Inspector Morse and his trusted colleague Detective Sergeant Lewis solve many murder mysteries. This is the first collection in the Inspector Morse series. The series ran for 12 seasons. Stars John Thaw as Inspector Morse and Kevin Whately as Sergeant Lewis. Then, the Inspector Lewis series ran for another 6 seasons. Very well done English entertainment. Highly recommended if you enjoy detective mystery's.

Episode 1
Actually, this is the 1st collection of the series.
Good acting, sometimes dark, sometimes funny. Lovely setting of Oxford, England.

The Office of Personnel Management and 14 federal agencies have teamed up to produce a new website called UnlockTalent.gov that gives managers a visualization of the results of the annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.
The insider-only site -- UnlockTalent.gov "is available only to agency leadership and managers" -- delivers information on HR metrics, employee engagement and satisfaction, and information on human resources best practices that is customized on an agency-by-agency basis for managers.
In a video posted July 15, OPM Director Katherine Archuleta explains that the dashboard is "one of the many ways we are working to meet [President Barack Obama's] Second Term Management Agenda goal of creating a culture of excellence and engagement, leading to higher performance."

Handbook for Increasing Ethnic Minority Participation in State Psychological Associations and APA Divisions
Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs
750 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002-4242
Effective strategies for recruiting and involving psychologists of color in the affairs of state psychological associations (SPA) and divisions of APA, should be a part of each organization's goals and objectives. But, we recognize that the identification of the specific activities to accomplish this goal is probably best left to the leadership of each SPA and APA division.
The purpose of this Handbook is to encourage the creativity and goodwill that must accompany any effort to increase ethnic minority representation and participation. The following points are made as a prelude to further action and reflection by all APA affiliated groups. It is beyond the ambition or initiative of the authors to suggest that these recommendations are the only ways to achieve increased representation and participation of the psychologist of color in SPA's and division's affairs. SPAs and Divisions are encouraged to find the solution that fits their needs and resources.
Three types of action proposals are used in organizing this brochure:
First, ethnic minority membership should be identified;
Secondly communications mechanisms should be established; and
Thirdly the organizational structure of SPAs and APA divisions may need to be amended in order to facilitate the participation and representation of the psychologists of color.
The objective here is for each SPA and APA division to identify existing as well as potential members of color; i.e., those who are already members and those who are not, but may be encouraged to join through outreach efforts. In either case, both may contribute to SPA or APA division activities.
Existing Membership
There are several methods for identifying ethnic minority psychologists presently in the organization. At the national level, APA's Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs maintains a database of ethnic minority professionals in psychology. A search of this database can identify those psychologists of color who are members in various APA divisions and reside in various States. Although not all psychologists of color have chosen to identify themselves in this manner, many (approximately 2,800) have.
Divisions and SPAs might consider including questions on their membership applications or renewal forms that request the applicant?s self-identified racial/cultural status. Also, for those SPAs and APA divisions that publish a newsletter, it might be useful to write an article about the organization's ethnic minority recruitment efforts and encourage established members to participate.
The collection of data on ethnic minority membership requires repeated, consistent efforts in order to establish sincere commitment. Moreover, once the data are collected, it may be used to develop resources such as a directory of multicultural experts and/or ethnic minority community public policy advocates.
The well-informed APA consumer asks "What does this division/SPA do for me, and my concerns?" If the answer is "a lot," an outreach effort focused on ethnic minority members may start with the same strategy used to identify present members, namely a search of the OEMA database. An invitation to join may go to any or all individuals listed in a certain geographical area and/or in a certain major speciality area. Another strategy would use the existing division membership in active recruitment of ethnic minority colleagues. A personal letter or face-to-face contact are powerful techniques for encouraging interest. The identification of current ethnic minority membership may help in these contacts. Naturally, the entire recruitment effort is influenced by a SPA?s and division?s actions and policies.
Every SPA and APA division have ethnic minority constituents. These are professionals on which to call and seek advise related not only to the recruitment of ethnic minority members, but also related to professional, scholarly, and organization issues that are at the heart of the activities of SPAs and APA divisions. The activities of the SPA and divisions should reflect a willingness to have people of color participate in all the aspects of the organization.
Newsletter and Journal
For those SPAs and APA Divisions with a regularly published newsletter, there exists a variety of potential avenues for regular communication with ethnic minority psychologists. For example, a regular column or article can be devoted to addressing ethnic minority issues and concerns. Also, the newsletter can be used to report on the activities and events that focus on ethnic minority issues and encourage ethnic minority members to seek active involvement in SPA/division affairs. Involvement of ethnic minority graduate students and young professionals in the editing of SPA and division newsletters is a way of creating roles for ethnic minority members that strengthen their early careers, while enhancing the diversity of issues addressed in the SPA or APA division newsletter.
Similarly, ethnic minority participation can positively contribute to the editorial and ethnic minority communication processes of those journals affiliated with APA divisions. A 1998 report of the APA Committee on Ethnic Minority Affairs (CEMA) on ?Ethnic Minority Participation in the APA Editorial Pipeline? includes the following recommendations:
Develop editorial mentoring opportunities for ethnic minority graduate students in psychology. Editors and their editorial boards should engage in targeted and aggressive outreach to ethnic minority psychologists to serve as reviewers. Consideration should be given to the establishment of ?editorial internships? for early career ethnic minority psychologists.
Annual Convention Meetings
Another method of communicating with ethnic minority members is through use of convention time for meetings, social gatherings, symposia and guest speakers. The national APA, regional, and state psychological association conventions could have time set aside by the program committee for meetings and forums to discuss issues relevant to people of color. Social gathering time also could be allocated to allow for informal networking among persons with ethnic minority interests. This may take the form of brown bag lunches, conversation hours, or social hours. Presentations or symposia on ethnic minority topics or by ethnic minority psychologists might be specifically encouraged in the Convention?s ?Call for Papers?. A guest speaker on ethnic minority issues can highlight the organization's interest in the subject. Some regional conventions give student awards for research presentations. This might be extended to an ethnic minority student paper award. Some SPA's and divisions reduce convention fees for psychologists of color to encourageparticipation. The rationale is that once these psychologists attend a meeting, and find common issues and recognition of their issues and concerns, they are more likely to return and become participants in the organization.
Mentorship Network
On an informal basis, the promotion of a mentorship network can help introduce and bring ethnic minority members through the ranks of the SPA or APA division. The existing networks within SPAs and divisions are powerful. The intricacies of the organizational structure, with its variety of personalities, often are difficult to readily comprehend. The help and encouragement of established members within a SPA or Division can facilitate the professional development of an individual ethnic minority member. Existing leadership can foster ethnic minority participation in a most powerful way through their personal participation in mentoring.
Leadership Workshops
In a more formal manner, divisions and SPAs provide something similar to mentorships. There are leadership workshops that are provided for promising new members. The inclusion of people of color in such workshops is a highly visible way of demonstrating willingness to help diversify the membership and the leadership. These workshops help in directing professional growth: The eventual anticipated outcome is a well-trained cadre of members who are groomed to take on leadership roles. These roles include organization activities such as elected office, committee membership, task force membership or caucus work.
Governance Options
Each organization has its own set of governance or working groups. These groups are called sections, committees, task forces, caucuses or special interest groups. Within these existing bodies, appointment of ethnic minority members would be a highly visible gesture toward increasing ethnic minority participation in the work of the SPA or APA division, while ensuring minority representation throughout the functional system.
A second option for involving people of color in SPA or divisional matters would be the creation of an ethnic minority committee, task force or caucus. The creation of such a group may start with the appointment/recruitment of a chair, co-chairs or a full committee from the existing SPA or division membership. Also, a newsletter article or call for committee members can help identify potential members. The committee may take as an agenda, issues related to ethnic minority identification, recruitment and communication tasks, or the committee appointments described earlier. Besides these objectives, the committee may be asked to comment on the effects of organizational actions on people and communities of color. In addition, a member of the committee could be one of several rotating representatives to attend the Board of Directors or Executive Committee meetings. This liaison role is critical to both the visibility of the committee of ethnic minority affairs as well as professional development of the individual member(s). It serves to build leadership within the committee, and within the organization at large. An additional liaison role for a committee member would be attending, when permitted, the nominations' committee, the program committee, or other SPA or division governance group meeting.
Ethnic minority committees, task forces and caucuses should be encouraged to maintain minutes of all meetings. These will formalize and validate the importance of each meeting. Minutes also will allow absent members to stay informed and involved. This historical record will serve as a guideline for the annual committee report to the membership. The specific titles or tasks of these groups may depend upon the SPA or division.
The creation of interest groups or caucuses may be more of a spontaneous nature. They may be facilitated and encouraged by budgetary support, liaisons and requests for periodic reports. The creation of committees and task forces follow more formal lines. Consequently, operating funds should be provided whenever possible. For example, a separate mailing to the membership requires budgetary support. These funds need to be allocated for committee or taskforce use.
Elected Offices
The final, most visible and formal presence of ethnic minority constituents would be by election to the SPA or division executive committee or board of directors, or APA Council of Representatives (CR). The composition of the executive committee/board of directors varies little. There are usually the president, secretary, treasurer and members at large. In addition, certain committee chairs may be included. The number of CR representatives can change based on apportionment ballots, but there is always at least one. Election to any of these may be a way for ethnic minority members to contribute to SPA or division affairs. But, first they must be nominated. The nomination process varies according to the SPA?s or division?s bylaws. Candidate selection is by the election's committee, by nomination ballot and committee, or by executive committee with comment by the membership at an annual business meeting. Ethnic minority presence on the election committee may heighten sensitivity to the need for ethnic minorities on the ballot. Some SPAs and divisions make provisions in their bylaws for the inclusion or addition of candidates beyond those proposed by the nomination ballot. There have been some attempts at fielding an entire ethnic minority slate. This is a powerful but potentially controversial option, yet given sufficient preparation such moves may not be perceived as counterproductive by the membership. Greater visibility of ethnic minority members in the division or SPA governance structure may give them the exposure needed for nomination without these exceptional measures.
Of course, actions and reactions are reciprocal in nature. The election of people of color to the division and state positions, if a desirable goal, requires commitment by state and divisional leadership to work in a variety of ways to facilitate the process. The recruitment of ethnic minority members starts with identification of potential minority membership candidates. Once a working group has been identified, the development of mentoring and communication networks is a powerful follow-up. Finally, the inclusion of ethnic minorities in their own task forces and committees as well as the other tasks forces and committees of the SPA or division helps to establish and institutionalize the presence of ethnic minorities in the structure of the organization. Any of these activities will effect some minor change. Any change will bring about wider changes in the organizational system. The goals of better accessing resources of the APA membership and benefiting from the diversity of that membership are realizable. It is left to the specific state associations and divisions to realize those goals by concrete, proactive measures.

Advice re ttc followig loved one's late loss?
Started by Rachael2 , Jan 01 2013 01:02 PM

Posted 01 January 2013 - 01:02 PM
I was looking for some advice. 6months ago my sister gave birth to her beautiful son who was born sleeping. My DH and I had been ttc for a year when my nephew passed away. I have 3 children and struggle to fall pregnant as I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies and now only one tube which is damaged. I stopped ttc when my nephew passed away as I didn't want to hurt my sister more as I knew me having my 4th baby would really upset her understandably. When I told her I was pregnant with my 3rd she was very upset despite the fact it was 3years in the making and 4 early losses. I have a lap coming up (it has been booked since before my nephew was born to do dye studies to see if my remaining tube is opened. If its not the surgeon was going to remove my tube and IVF would be our only option to conceive which we would do in 2014. Now the problem I have is if I go ahead with the lap and dye I need to start ttc again straight away as this will be the most ideal time for me to conceive. Its pointless having my tube flushed if I am not going to ttc straight afterwards. So how do I go about it when I know my sister will be devastated? I want to protect her but realistically the only eay that will happen is if I dont have another child. I am happy to wait another year but my DH is not and my fertility is getting worse all the time (I have recurrent bacterial vaginosis which cause pelvic inflammatory disease which is why I have tubal damage in the first place) I just dont know what to do. Do I go ahead with our original plans or do I wait longer? If I wait longer will it be any better for my sister or not really? I imagine she will be upset and our relationship will suffer weather if occurs in 1yr or 5. Any advice is appreciated or what did others do when they were in this or a similar situation. My sister is unfortunately not able to fall pregnant again at this time so its been especially hard for her. She found out this medical condition caused her son to die and at the moment she is unaware if there is treatment available to help her carry another baby without the same thing happening. I have offered to be her surrogate if she is unable to carry another child due to this but until I have another child with my husband he would never agree (my 2eldest are to my first marriage) and we have 1 together who is 2.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 01:21 PM
hugs to you all in this situation. Such a terrible thing to happen to her and also for your whole family.
It is a tricky situation but also I think you have to view it as individuals as well. Your sister has a medical condition which may preclude her from carrying another child and you have medical conditions which have a time limit so to speak. However your medical conditions might also preclude you from carrying a child for her, depending on how your body goes.
Your sister with time will need to choose what path she travels and how she goes about it. If you do surrogate for her I can understand your husband saying only when you have finished your own family together. No matter what happens at the moment your sister is always going to feel her loss immensely and the pain will always be there, especially whether it be you or another family member who is pregnant.
If you go ahead and ttc after your procedure (yes the chances are better after dye injection) then yes she will be upset, probably very upset, but she also needs to understand you have time constraints on you as well and your lives cannot stop because of her loss. You cannot walk on eggshells forever....
I've been on both sides and its tough. But you also need to get on with life no matter what path it takes.

What a beautiful and compassionate woman you are OP. I am sorry, I don't have any advice for you but the fact that you would consider putting off TTC purely because of your sister's situation says a lot.
Personally, I would go ahead with TTC straight away, especially with the fertility issues that you have. However, I would have a heart to heart with your sister about what you are thinking and how you really don't want to hurt or upset her but with the odds against you, you need to take every opportunity you can. Hopefully with the heads up, it will be easier for her to cope with your *fingers crossed* pregnancy and will not affect your relationship so much.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 02:21 PM
Coming from someone who has lost babies every pregnancy annoucnement is hard but we have just be happy for the pregnant lady and hope they have a successful pregnancy.
Of course your sister is going to be upset when you fall pregnancy and even maybe jealous but she will also be happy and excited (overtime) a new family member will be added to the family.
I would go ahead with your original plans and TTC soon especailly if you are having troubles TTC and if you have a good relationship with your sister gently inform her of what is happening so she can prepare herself.
Take her lead on your pregnancy when you fall and don't shut her out but include her on the level she wants to be included depending on where she is in her grief and healing and please make sure you are the one to tell her of your pregnancy it hurts so much hearing from other people (I found out my SIL to be was pregnant through a message from my SIL on FB)
Posted 01 January 2013 - 05:37 PM
Thank you for your replies. I think I may try and see if I can put my surgery off for a few months to avoid any potential classes with my nephews anniversaries. Then I guess I will ttc again. I honestly don't think I will get pregnant again (seeing as I didnt in the year we were trying before hand and have had the 2 worst cases of BV in the last 6months I have ever had) I hope I am wrong but I just have this feeling IVF will be our only hope. I had my last lap in 2009 which helped me conceive my DD in 2010 and I think 2.5years has been along time for the damage to spread.
I may mention it to my sister next time it gets brought up that we will ttc again this year. She is well aware of my fertility issues from when I was ttc my 3rd and that I was ttc after DD. After her son died she told me she is dreading future pregnancy announcements and how hurt she will be. When I was ttc my 3rd which took almost 3years I remember how shattered I was with every pregnant belly and pregnancy/birth or ttc announcement. I hate the thought that out of everyone to get pregnant I am going to hurt her more then anyone. Although obviously if I were to be her surrogate I would have to have another child first I am sure she will feel me carrying a child for her if it comes to that will be even further away. I'm abit worried about the surrogate bit but obviously will happily do it if it means my sister has the chance to have a living child. Her eggs are fine its a blood disorder which will cause her to loose her babies. My fertility issues seem to only affect me getting pregnant. I should be able to carry a baby for her and another for myself its the getting pregnant part that is the problem. My sister fell pregnant 2nd month trying so I assume she has good eggs.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 05:42 PM
Whilst everything that has happened is sad - life must go on. I would carry on ttc because your fertile time is finite plus you don't know if you are going to fall pregnant straight away. They don't need to know that you are actively ttc either.

I love the idea of competition in the cell phone space. However, T-Mobile's 4G network outside of major cities is bad; I mean it doesn't exist. Can't get data on many highways much less in places like Wilmington. T-Mobile needs to step up its game to survive.

I am equally accomplished in adding new business, and selling more to existing accounts. I have successfully planned and managed the entire sales cycle, from market assessment and opportunity identification through sales training, direct customer interaction and closure. By mastering this critical path, I have led benchmark revenue growth for technology- based products and professional services in tough, cost-sensitive markets. Driving sales growth in rapidly changing, competitive markets Enabling sales teams to achieve record performance (Over-Quota 27 years) Building collaborative relationships with customers Turning around sales underperformance I have a BS Commerce (Marketing major) from Santa Clara University. My trademark skills are in quickly and easily establishing profitable C-level customer relationships. I have a well deserved reputation as a thought leader in creating and driving the initiatives that enabled companies to achieve beyond their expectations. SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS Applied creative alternatives to fuel rapid growth. Effectively leveraged consultative approach with C-level executives instead of traditional mid-level managers. Partnered with banks, private equity firms and brokers. Grew assets-under- management from $0 to $6.5B. Made Wilton Re fastest growing life reinsurance company in the US.

Replaced Crystal Decisions' software emphasis on seat licensing with consultative approach. Enabled sales team to uncover and resolve customer problems, significantly expanding perceived value. Migrated sales from seat licensing to enterprise licensing. Grew average sale from four figures to five. Captured elusive major market. Rebuilt Crystal Decisions' sales and professional services team in the NY metro market. Quickly and effectively penetrated financial, media and pharmaceutical buying offices that had responded poorly to prior sales management. Generated inquiry levels that were challenging to keep up with. Restored company's ability to meet or exceed quota. DuPont Safety Resources group had missed sales targets for several years. Restructured sales around professional sales staff instead of chemical engineers and plant managers. Introduced new compensation plan. Quickly hit 200% of quota. CAREER SUMMARY Senior VP / Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Wilton Re, 2005 to Present. Built sales and marketing group for this startup-to-$300M provider of risk and capital management solutions, reinsurance and closed book runoff business services for the life insurance industry. Lead team of six in building relationships with C-level customers. VP North American Sales, Information Builders, 2002 to 2004. Led multi-office sales organization for this $350M provider of enterprise business intelligence and web-based reporting software. Assembled industry-leading team through vigorous recruiting and training. Headed management team of five Regional VPs and 23 Branch Managers. Regional Sales Manager, Crystal Decisions, 2000 to 2002. Forged new sales and professional services team for this $250M enterprise business intelligence software company's New England region. Held P&L responsibility for growing revenue from Fortune 1000 accounts through a sales force of 30. Prior Assignments: Sales and Business Development Manager, DuPont Safety Resources. VP Regional Development, Stibo Group. Sales Representative, Hewlett-Packard. EDUCATION Santa Clara University / B.S.C. – Marketing, Santa Clara, California, graduated in June of 1983. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I am a tenacious sales executive with an impressive and successful track record (Every year of my career has resulted in over quota performance). I have extensive experience developing and maintaining solid relationships with Fortune 1000 customers, SMB accounts, and within the government sector as well. I have worked effectively with professionals at all levels of the organization. My transition from one employer to the next has consistently been via aggressive recruitment efforts on the part of the companies themselves to get me working on their team! My seasoned experience selling services as well as my success building and developing sales teams and execution successes over the years make me a strong candidate for this key role within the organization. I have very good direct experience with solution selling and have also designed training classes on solution selling. I have strong new product/services roll-out experience, and a lot of expertise entering new vertical markets as well as new geographic territories. I have achieved tremendous success in a variety of sales environments and have 15+ years of sales experience in strategic planning and execution in a solutions sales environment. I have proven experience designing and developing a sales force and is adept at identifying talent, extensive experience mentoring and developing team members in the field as well as inside sales teams across multiple business segments, and I have developed appropriate training and development courses. In addition, I have been on the ground floor with 6 start-ups, developing processes and fine-tuning them as an organization matures. I am adept at structuring sales quota goals and revenue expectations and I have achieved process development successes. I have built and managed both inside and field sales teams which ranged in size from 10 people to 150+, which ranged in scope from regional to international, and which ranged in revenue responsibility from $10 to $350 million annually. I worked for Crystal Decisions as a Regional Sales Manager and was responsible for rebuilding the entire organization for New England, and the Tri-State area. The previous efforts to grow a presence in the Northeast had failed. The VP of Sales hired me to build a new presence and capture market share from the companies already firmly entrenched there. These efforts included hiring consulting staff and sales team members. During my tenure with Crystal, the region became the number one region in the U.S. which played a crucial role in Crystal's efforts to ramp up for an IPO or buyout. My success was noted by a number of competitors, and after 2 years with Crystal, I was sought after by several organizations. As the VP of North American Sales with Information Builders, I revamped the sales process, revamped the process for evaluating, hiring and training sales reps, built an entirely new back office support infrastructure, and redesigned the pre-sales technical engineers from the ground up. IBI had a superior product offering, but apparently didn't know how to position it and showcase its strengths against the competition. With my help, this challenge was overcome successfully. My responsibilities grew to include management and training of the European offices as well while the company looked for a new VP of Europe. Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to gain an audience with key decision-makers within an organization. Even when I have changed industries completely and started selling a new product or service into accounts that I had never called on previously, I have repeated this success. I am adept at building long-term relationships where my clients see me as a trusted advisor. For the last six years, I have been working as the SVP, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Wilton Re, where I was once again thrust into a completely new line of products and services. For six straight years the company has superseded every analyst's prediction for their growth, and Wilton Re has been the fastest growing company in the field. I have a Bachelors degree in Marketing from Santa Clara University, I am an excellent team player with boundless creativity, and I possess a broad-based career background that adds to my ability to find creative solutions. I am able and willing to travel as needed, and I also have a willingness to work a flexible schedule as may be required to get the job done. I have excellent time management skills. I have professional written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills and I have managed communications with the press, investors, and board members. I am also an excellent public speaker and professional with dynamic presentation skills. I have extensive experience selling and managing sales teams, focused on both Federal and State government agencies, and I am well-acquainted with the process of selling to government agencies. I am an outstanding candidate that would make a significant contribution to your continued growth and success.

We would aid in supporting the customers after he had installed, trained and deployed the products for the customer. Don was not only one that could adapt and understand various business models represented by our customers in the mortgage industry. He also had a solid background in technology that eased the customers concerns when deciding to make a major shift towards technology. Don, straight forward and an honest gentleman, one of integrity and professionalism with customers and the company staff; he was always a key player in the company. Customers were very satisfied with the way he would simplify such a significant project to a simple turn-key system and communicate often with customers face to face and get great results on the products use.

Tom Beck, Owner, Catapult Direct Marketing "I can't speak highly enough for Don as my manager. As an Enterprise Sales Executive, I was tasked with penetrating Fortune 50 accounts to sell our software platform. Don provided invaluable guidance based on his many years as a sales representative and manager. Don led by example and shared his proven experience building relationships, navigating complex organizations, identifying opportunities and ulimately closing the business. I would highly recommend Don for any future position." Victor Bernardino, Enterprise Sales Executive, Business Objects "I had the pleasure of working with Don during his tenure at Information Builders. Don's focus was selling value and providing innovative tools to measure (and show) ROI. He's a gifted educator, mentor and presenter (and can give Tony Robbins a run for his money). He could take any business need or goal and transform them into something achievable with our technology. It's a pleasure to recommend Don for any high level poistion in sales for any organization, and looking forward to working with him again."
