1. How to Make a Driver Tree in Excel

You know the value of strategic frameworks, and you’re undoubtedly using our PPTX templates. Take the Driver Tree, for example. This handy tool helps you turn complexity into child’s play. 

Yet some of us just love Excel, and wouldn’t it be great to construct our Driver Tree in Excel? Make Use Of has solved the how-to for you. They call it Decision Tree (po-tay-to, po-tah-to).

2. Ramp Up Your Social Presence with Rebecca McDowell

Creating a LinkedIn profile that stands out from the sea of professionals can be daunting – you compete with others with the same skill sets, vying for the same jobs. Most days, nothing happens (and it gets annoying).

So what does Rebecca McDowell do instead?

This amazing social media guru took matters into her own hands and turned to her own network, eventually sharing this approach with more people as she launched Meego – a brand new platform that boosts exposure and fast-tracks referrals.

Replay our interesting 10-minute interview with Becca here!

And if you’re looking for a way to elevate your LinkedIn profile, revisit our April workshop to learn a thing or two about the best ways to create a winning digital brand.

3. Dreamy Destinations. Gratis.

Ok, so you’re a hoarder. That’s not always a bad thing, especially when it comes to Bonvoy points. Here’s some inspo in case you’re considering lightening the load this summer. 

I’ve stayed at 3 out of 9. What’s your number?

Remember, the path to success is paved with continuous learning and embracing fresh perspectives.

Let's stay connected, share ideas, and elevate your consulting business.

Stay curious, friends.
