about designing a customized program for your group's needs. We are

Expertizing: Position Yourself as a
Name Brand
Want to be known as the expert in your field, quoted
by the national media on a daily basis? It’s easy—and anyone
can learn how. Discover the secrets that can propel you to expert status,
from media maven Fern Reiss. Fern has been quoted in the The New
York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and over 100 other
publications. Learn how she does it.
Consultants Publish
All consultants, entrepreneurs, and executives should
publish a book—as a showpiece, a corporate give-away, and an
effective way to display credentials. And it can be done easily—for
less than the cost of a glossy brochure. Get the low-down on the
fastest way to get your book into print and the best way to use it
to promote your business.
Promoting
and Branding Your Experts in the Media
Every organization benefits when its spokespeople
are quoted. Your professors, doctors, engineers, researchers, and staff
should be a continuous source of positive press for you. But how do
you get your experts on journalists' radar, how do you position them,
and how do you prep them? Learn the best way to get your experts consistently
on journalists' source lists.
Expertizing and Work-Life Balance
How does anyone in today's over-scheduled, cell-phone-dominated,
time-is-money world balance the demands of work, friends, and family?
It's not easy—for anyone, least of all executives and workers in
high-powered, driven companies competing in the international
marketplace. Listen to Fern Reiss, CEO of Expertizing.com, talk about
the problems and challenges of balancing work and life in today's
world—and how you can conquer the demands of the workplace, while
avoiding sacrificing quality time with your family.
