Charly's spoken about this before but today she digs a bit deeper. Do you know who your Target Audience really is? Why is it important?

Systems, no matter how good they are, won't cut the mustard if you don't have the right processes and procedures.

When trying to achieve a consistency of output or outcome, you need to have good systems in place. What do you have?

A few weeks ago, I chatted with Beth Berghan about having the difficult conversations before they became hard conversations and I found some words to live by.
