Have you ever been creeped out by discovering someone messed with your stuff while you were sitting mere feet away - and you didn’t notice?

What were you doing at 6:30 AM on this lovely Sunday?
I was on my way to the Douglas J eXchange Ann Arbor to have my hair cut.

Ten days ago, I wrote about planning to pick up the pace of my PR outreach. Last week, seemingly out of the blue, I was invited to attend some media training. Although we had a friend in common, I had never met the person extending the invitation.

But I’m hoping you will learn from my almost mistake.
This weekend, I spoke at a leadership conference at a resort that I was not familiar with. As is my usual habit, I decided to check out what the good folks at TripAdvisor had to say about.
TripAdvisor has been a great tool for me to learn [...]
