Richard Martin's 2013-14 Monthly Teleconference Series
Brilliant Manoeuvres: How to Use Military Wisdom to Win Business Battles
Each of the teleconferences is 45 to 60 minutes in duration and is based on a chapter in my book, Brilliant Manoeuvres.
Even if you already have the book, this is a great way to deepen your understanding. I will also be adding new content and intellectual property that I've developed since the publication of the book in October 2012 and that I use with my best and most aggressive clients!
As a special bonus, I will provide a complementary copy of Brilliant Manoeuvres, as well as a pdf copy of the Brilliant Manoeuvres Study Guide to assist you in assimilating the materials.
The teleconferences will start at 12 pm sharp on the third Friday of each month. An MP3 recording will be available for download within 48 hours of the call.
