Sylvie_diGiusto_400x400Sylvie helps individuals and companies to explore how people make up their minds very quickly about you, your leadership potential or your company, and either open the door for you or slam it shut. The good thing is that this process is entirely under your control. You can choose to present yourself as a leader, or not. Because, your image is something you can control. You can make it what you want. You can control the message you send to the people who see you and interact with you. She is the author of The Image of Leadership http://executive-image-consulting.com/

Brent Leary is Co-founder and Partner of CRM Essentials LLC, a CRMconsulBrent Learyting/advisory firm focused on small and mid-size enterprises. He has over 15 years of IT and management consulting experience working on projects for Microsoft, Research In Motion, BellSouth, Compaq and the state of Georgia’s Department of Economic Development. Leary received CRM Magazine’s 2004 Most Influential Leader Award along with his business partner Michael Thomas. He serves on the national board of the Customer Relationship Management Association as Vice President of Technology, and as CRM subject matter expert for the Small Business Technology Task Force.

NinaKaufman_headshotNina Kaufman is a small business champion—not just your ordinary business attorney. Forbes Magazine calls her “One of the 25 Most Influential Women Tweeting about Entrepreneurship.”  The U.S. Small Business Administration named her their regional Women in Business Champion of the Year for her creative approaches to educating and advocating for small businesses.
