8. Pourquoi écrire ? (Reposting from my LinkedIn Account) On a quelquechose à donner, on ne sait pas quoi, on ne sait pas à qui mais c’est là, alors on prend un crayon, on trace, on dépose les petits cailloux, on sait qu’on reviendra et que ces petits cailloux nous parleront.

4. Finding the Right Audience (Reposting from my linkedIn profile) Incredible, I think I hit the jackpot in communication! Thank you ALL! For years, I was targeting the wrong audience, by communicating massively on Facebook, instead of LinkedIN. Indeed, I was posting regularly recommendations on useful readings on Books on Vietnam under my facebook page:Continue reading “A New Turning Point Note #4”

5. Finding the Right Audience The secret for an effective communication is to address the right audience. Not only, you need to use the right language, that means a content expressed in words that belong to the trade, for instance, in business, the term ‘business plan‘, ‘executive summary‘, ‘return on investment‘, ‘payback period‘, etc. areContinue reading “A New Turning Point – Note #5”
