Follow the yellow brick road
It is with much trepidation and great excitement I begin my blogging journey.
For two decades I’ve loved working behind the scenes, helping executives look great and sound smart on the world’s stage. For me, I just wanted to be Oz-that nondescript guy behind the curtain who makes sure the right levers are pulled at the just the right time. And so it goes that I spent my career working with rock stars and incredible companies, loving every minute of seeing their names in lights.
Now, blogging is not going to change my role as Oz. My greatest career joy is in helping you and your company achieve success. But, I do hope that by creating this ’stage’ I will be inspired to step out in front of the curtain from time to time to share my thoughts. I have no clue where this road will lead me, what or who I’ll encounter along the way (or if I’ll ever find the ruby slippers), I only know it’s inevitable I will learn a lot from the journey.
Bring it on!

YAY for you Lisa! Yes, you are an amazing string puller but also too curious not to jump on the bloggy bandwagon. It isn’t a bandwagon anyway. You encouraged me to do the same a year ago and I find it just a great new way of writing letters to everybody to share your thoughts. Of course, find it totally interesting that you have been an amazing Tweeter so this leap ain’t that big.

Congrats Lisa! I hope that this is a fun journey for you. At least I will learn more of what is going on in your world beyond your facebook and tweets
