enjoying his Summer of Development. You can listen to
conference call notes that answers
questions and discusses material
in Go Put Your Strengths to Work
his latest book."

Ken Bellemare, ISPI Vancouver VP of Marketing, says: "One of
my all time favourite authors is Roy H. Williams - he has
written a number of books called The Wizard of Ads. They are
not so much about advertising but more about the psychology
of how we think and why we buy what we buy. He has a great
one page memo every Monday morning."
