I’ve worked with Bud now for probably three years, maybe more. He’s a great guy, very knowledgeable, yet so down to earth that in the management consulting field he’s earned the moniker The Common Sense Guy.

This Wednesday, Bud will be our featured expert on the Conversations with Experts teleseminar series. Here’s what you’ll learn:

The Common Sense Guy’s Advice For Building and Running a Profitable Consulting Business
Wednesday, October 26, 2005, 8:30 p.m. ET

Guest Expert: Bud Bilanich, BudBilanich.com and CommonSenseGuy.com

Bud Bilanich, The Common Sense Guy, has been in business as a solopreneur since 1988. He is a management consultant, executive coach and keynote speaker. Bud will share how he coached himself using the ideas in his book "4 Secrets of High Performing Organizations":

• Clarity of purpose and direction
• The sincere Commitment of everyone in the organization
• Skillful Execution of the things that matter
• Mutually beneficial Relationships with important outside people

Bud has used these principles to create a successful and profitable consulting, coaching and speaking business.

Bud will provide specific examples of what he did, how he did it, and answer your questions about how you can build a successful and profitable business. Bud will send a copy of his book to the first 10 people who register for this conversation.

A management consultant, keynote speaker, executive coach and author specializing in "Common Sense Solutions to Tough Business Problems", Bud Bilanich’s pragmatic approach to business, life, and the business of life has earned him the title The Common Sense Guy, and made him one of the most sought after speakers, consultants and executive coaches in the USA! Dr. Bilanich’s work focuses on improving the performance of individuals, teams and entire organizations. Bud is Harvard educated, but has a no-nonsense, common sense approach to his work that stretches back to his roots in the steel country of Western Pennsylvania.

The Blog Squad Goes Live at the International Coach Federation Conference in San Jose.

If you’re a coach and are going to ICF conference in San Jose Nov. 9-12, here’s an opportunity to get your voice heard at the conference and over the Blogosphere.

The Blog Squad will be at the Conference and we’ll be blogging on our new blog at The Blog Squad Live!  We’re looking for 4-5 coaches who would like to be guest bloggers on the blog.

We’re looking for blogger coaches who will commit to blogging about the conference before, during and after — reporting on your experience and observations about the conference.

What do you get?  Lots of great exposure for you, your business and your blog, of course.  You’ll get a link from our blog to your blog. Your posts will be categorized by your name and we’ll be promoting this blog/event heavily over the next few weeks before the conference.

Interested?  Contact Denise and Patsi ASAP.  Send us a link to your blog and tell us why you want to be a Blog Squad Guest Blogger during the ICF Conference. Send an email.

See you in San Jose!

P.S.  If you’re not going to be at the Conference and you know coaches who are attending and may be interested in this opportunity, please let them know.  Thanks!
