The FG NY office's snowy window.

Greetings from snowy NYC. Keith's in town! He's here for an engagement at the NY Stock Exchange, and to spend time with the online Relationship Masters Academy crew. So many of you have signed up information on joining the charter class - thank you! Very inspiring and exciting for us. We'll be communicating with you about it soon.

This week in links:

  • Don't deal with a job transition alone! From The NY Times, a wonderfully honest story about the importance of turning to trusting advisors when you've got big decisions to make. The author writes, "Everyone who’s laid off should find someone they trust and sit down and talk. You can’t think things through by yourself, especially when you have a family. You have too much going on mentally. You need someone who cares enough to listen, but is not in the thick of it the way you are."
  • For Email Marketers: A creative, relationship-centric approach to getting people to rethink unsubscribing.
  • Touch me! I've got to hit one more from the Times (when in Rome...): Students who received a supportive touch on the back or arm from a teacher were nearly twice as likely to volunteer in class as those who did not, according to one of the studies in this article on the power of touch.
  • Technology works! I'm always amazed by technophobes who worry about technology isolating us. So I enjoyed relationship-savvy salesman-entrepreneur Andy Ellwood's story, on his personal blog, about using an iPhone app to bridge a language barrier.
  • From the Lighter Side: An over-privileged business school student gets taken down.
