You may want them to do something but if they’re not ready, you have to work at their pace. You can lead them and you can work with them and you can partner with them but the thing is, they also have to have the capacity to move things forward.” -Angeline Chew

Destination Marketing is the best!

Adam,

Thank you for your time and effort into the podcast. It has been super amazing to listen to and you are a great resource, and I'm not even in destination marketing!

You have given so much-- I just have to say, if there's anything you need from me just let me know! Even if that's just buying your next cup of coffee!
