Retail
The retail industry stared down the apocalypse and continues on. Dramatic changes have come about, and a new vocabulary has arisen including omni-channel, real time conversion, clienteling, point-of-sale system, RFID, etc. Plenty of retailers are thriving in this new area, and the industry as a whole is growing.
So, whether you’re a retail seller, proprietor of retail related technology, or an industry publication, I can provide your customers/clients the content they need to navigate the dynamic landscape. By the way, my work which has been geared toward both e-based retailers and traditional brick and mortar.
Construction
The construction industry is booming these days and is expected to continue to grow in coming years. I’ve interacted with all types in the construction industry from those who create the designs, to those doing the heavy lifting, and to those writing the checks.
So, whether you’re an architecture firm, general contractor, developer, construction company, or an industry publication, I can help you spotlight a project, highlight an employee, or explain a technique. My work has focused on all areas of construction including: commercial, industrial, residential, and highway.
Education
Straight from over a decade in the high school and college classroom, I speak the language of education. I’ve worked with all the key players – parents, educators, administrators, and students – and understand their needs and concerns.
So, whether you’re an innovative Ed Tech company focusing on personalized learning to help students develop skills and reach their potential or an education publication espousing the needs of collaboration, engagement, and community, I can help. One more thing, I create learning materials that engages and empowers students.
Great article Larry, well done! I couldn’t agree more, I have never been a fan of new year’s eve. It was one night that was most likely to dissapoint. My husband and I don’t even stay up til midnight, haven’t done for years. However, I do wish you and yours a very happy 2014 and hope it brings lots of happyness.
Thanks Elske and the same to you and your family.
Btw, my younger son asked if we were staying up till midnight. I answered w/o skipping a beat, “No.” Nipping that idea in the bud right away!
Nice one. I wonder for how long they will accept that answer :-).
We can only hope!
Hi,
I read your article but couldn’t find the comment spot, so I am leaving my comment here. Your article brought back many beautiful memories for me of New Year’s Eve as a teenager and adult living in Augusta, Georgia. You see my parents were baptists and we were members of a baptist church that stuck together on New Year’s Eve like glue. We had what they call Watch Night Service. There anyone could spontaneous sing a song, recite a poem or play an instrument. At midnight, we would bow before God and pray, and afterward have breakfast together in the church. Very few people back home do that anymore. Many of them don’t take the time.
So my New Year’s Eve has become a piece of gold in my treasure trove. I was never a partying type of person. I tried to be, but it just wasn’t me.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you and your family a beautiful and blessed walk over into 2014.
Happy New Year.
Shalom,
Patricia
Sounds like New Years really was special for you. Spiritual, fun, and meaningful. That’s a great combo. I can understand you thinking about that memory.
Ha! I am in total agreement with you, New Year’s Eve has lost some of its fizzle as well as some of its pop and bang. My husband, my kids and I spend the latter part of the evening watching movies and eating unhealthy nachos. It was the first time in many a year that I actually was up when the clock struck midnight. BTW, I tried to leave this comment on the NJ site, but it was refusing to acknowledge my Twitter account… Not that there is anything you can do about that but I felt I needed to vent about it as is rather pissed me off.
Sorry it pissed you off. I do appreicate the comment. Plus, I like rants. They amuse me.
P.S. I went to sleep before midnight. I am a rebel!!
Larry, you are so right. Things and values and interests do change with age and maturity. New Years Eve is not important to me, either. It’s another night. I didn’t even watch Times Square on the T.V., this year. A Good and Healthy & Safe New Year to you and yours!
I was a rebel this year – went to bed before midnight. I slept right through the fireworks. The fact that I was a bit sick probably helped in that respect.
