2011 was a crazy year. Maddie and I wrote a book, which certainly ranks as my top accomplishment for the year. And we did it while holding down full time jobs! I am thrilled with the feedback we’ve been getting (we’re up to 15 reviews on Amazon!). And the first few keynotes and webinars I’ve done on the book have been well received too. I can’t wait to share more in 2012.

2011 also marks the end, for the most part, as my role as Executive Director of association clients at MSP. The two clients that I was managing are transitioning out, so in 2012, my full attention will be on MSP’s consulting division. It has been a great learning experience to serve as staff executive for these associations, but I am really looking forward to getting back to expanding the speaking and consulting work, particularly with the book out now. Keep your eyes open in early 2012 for some announcements regarding a new set of consulting programs coming from me.

Here’s 2011 by the numbers:
