Today, we learned that becoming involved with a wellness company is not only about what it offers. It is also about why you believe in it, how responsibly you communicate its potential benefits, and whether your actions protect the relationships behind every conversation.

Thank you, April Forman, for sharing why Perga captured your attention, what it represents, and the values guiding your involvement.

The strongest message from today is this: trust must come before the transaction. Give people clear information, welcome their questions, respect their boundaries, and allow them to make the decision that is right for them.

1. Thought Leadership & Networking How I combine thought leadership and networking to open doors with consulting partners and bank and credit union executives, turning published insight and a strong viewpoint into real relationships with the people who actually buy.

2. Financial Wellness at Wells Fargo How I used a passion for financial wellness and networking inside a massive organization to build a coaching program from scratch that ended up in Wells Fargo's annual report, TV commercials, and on Good Morning America. 3. Regaining Credibility After a Failed AI Pilot Regaining credibility after a failed AI pilot with another vendor takes more than fixing the technology, it takes rebuilding trust internally through networking, something I see constantly with the clients I work with at eGain.
