This is quite understandable as couples are being forced to spend time together due to being confined to their homes during the COVID-19 ‘lock down’. It’s not that dissimilar to what we see in Jan/Feb divorce rates of each year when couples come back…

What the speaking business is not

What the speaking business is not by David Newman, Do It Marketing

Yesterday I was sitting on the beach sipping fruity drinks (we’ve escaped to an undisclosed location in Ocean City, NJ) and thinking about how many people don’t truly understand the “speaking” business.
