Time Management for the Holidays

I need your help! I am putting together a special holiday podcast and would love to speak to someone about time management, especially during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

I am going to forgo the Q&A format this time around. So, time management gurus or anyone that has a good time management tip that would be useful during the holiday season (and beyond) please contact me. You may also call the podcast comment line at: 888-862-1352 to record and submit your tip.

I am currently compiling a list of gift ideas for clients (I have some great ones so far). If you want to add to my list, please send me an email.

I am having so much fun (as always) putting together this podcast. I cannot wait to share it with you — it will be available on November 23rd.

Thank you,
Darlene

New Episode, New Look & More!

The latest episode of A Virtual Perception is now available for listening. I had a lot of fun putting this podcast together, so much so I was inspired to launch a brand new podcast. I reveal that piece of news and more in the episode.

Also, I am so very happy to reveal A Virtual Perception’s new home — here at: http://www.mypodcastharmony.com/avp. The blog on WordPress.com will continue to be updated, but the website is going to be where the real action happens. I wanted to create a website specifically so I can showcase my featured guests in a way they deserve and have the ease of adding and updating content.

You may also notice the main domain A Virtual Perception is now home to: mypodcastharmony.com. My Podcast Harmony is a new podcast directory website I am launching. With My Podcast Harmony, you will be able to submit your virtual business podcasts for inclusion in the directory. As the user base builds and directory grows, I will continue to add more content and functions to the site.

Thanks for listening!

Darlene Victoria
