Let’s Work Together
If you haven’t already done so, would you mind providing me with your contact info so I can periodically reach out to you about new ideas and developments, and send you other useful resources from time to time? And if you have ideas, questions, or even corrections, please email me directly. I’d really like to work together, and maybe help build a community of leaders who can support each other. Thanks again!
