In this interview, I discussed with Jim Rowe - a marketing veteran, where we share the power of writing, how it influences our life, and what the increase in writing inefficiencies means to us in life and business. I know after writing three books the power of what writing can do and the influence it can have.   I know you will find as much value in this episode as I did. And remember, if you enjoyed this podcast episode, please share a REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE with us, so you never miss another episode from us. Who is Jim Rowe?Jim Rowe, a marketing veteran of 45 years, started in market research after receiving his BS in Marketing from Fairfield University, CT. Jim has held client and agency positions including: Brand Manager, Coke; VP Marketing, Cutty Shark; President of Promotion and InterMark Divisions, Saatchi Howard Marlboro Group; plus 30+ years as an owner of Manhattan Marketing Ensemble then Jim Rowe Marketing. Jim saw weak problem solving & communication skills among recent grads. He wasn’t alone.  In a PayScale study, 60% of managers say grads lack problem solving skills. 40% say they can’t write. Yet, 80% of grads say they’re proficient in both. A “skills gap.” A Gallup / Inside Higher Ed study shows 96% of Chief Academic Officers say their college was effective at preparing students for work. Only 33% of managers agreed. A bigger “skills gap.” Cost to companies is lower productivity and required remedial training. Therefore, Jim wrote Get Your Ducks In A Rowe.  Avoiding a traditional business ‘writing’ book, and inspired by Who Moved My Cheese, Jim wrote a fable that’s easy to Read, Retain, and Replicate to solve problems and generate Results. Book 1, Business Writing & Communication teaches the 10-step formula to Think, Write, Present and Sell more effectively. Book 2, Learn The A-D A-P-T-E-R Method of Strategic Business Communication (4/22), teaches the holistic approach to critical thinking, communication and execution.  News about the issue is so low it’s below the radar, but it’s a national crisis. Current solutions aren’t working. Jim’s focus is tochange that. $1/book goes to NWP.org.How to Connect with Jim?Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-rowe-8751166/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovetheislandfamilyFacebook (Band): https://www.facebook.com/The-Song-Island-Band-639662422758350 Instagram (band): https://www.instagram.com/songislandband/a Jim’s Books:Get Your Ducks in a Row - Book 1: https://amzn.to/3Pn9xxZGet Your Ducks in a Row - Book 2: https://amzn.to/3QEWFE9--------------------------------------------------- Connect with Dr. Vic...Website: www.EmpowerYourReality.com Facebook: www.Facebook.com/drvicmanzoInstagram: www.Instagram.com/drvicmanzoLinkedIn: www.LinkedIn.com/in/drmanzoTikTok: www.TikTok.com/@drvicmanzo To visit Dr. Vic's Book on Amazon, check out the link below:https://www.amazon.com/Dr.-Victor-Manzo-Jr./e/B09MKZTYHZ Is This You?Are you looking to double your profits, create financial freedom/independence, create more fulfillment, work less, make more, and have more freedom and time with your loved ones? If you answered "YES" to any of these, let us set up a call to discover how I can accelerate that process for you.  Just visit the link below and set up a time that works best for you to connect. www.CallwithDrVic.com Hosted on Acast.
