Growing up in Northern California
and East Tennessee, I have never seen a white Christmas. As far as I am
concerned, Christmas means leafless trees, brown grass, and
the false promise of warmth from the winter sun. That means I will be
conducting this course from Tennessee and Texas. While I am happy to meet
anyone face to face, I just don’t see anyone heading to Nashville, Memphis, or
Houston to meet with me. I am highly available, but meeting with me means it
will have to be a tech-enabled meeting (phone, webcam, text, etc.). If you need
or want to talk with me, follow the following steps:
1. Email
me stating your desire to meet.
2.
State when you want to meet (I’ll adjust for time zones on my
end).
3.
State how you want to meet (phone, skype,
google hang out, etc.)
If you call me at
the number above, that is my google voice number. If
I do not answer, it means that I am most likely in an area without cell
coverage. LEAVE A VOICE MAIL. The nice thing about google
voice is it transcribes your voice mail and emails that transcription to me.
Often my iPad has data coverage where my cell phone
does not. Of course your voice mail needs to tell me:
1.
Who you are
2.
What you want
The more specific
you are with your needs and desires in your voice mail, the more quickly issues
can be resolved. If you need something really quickly and really simply, you
can also text me at the number above.
