Will Pam Offer Value for You?
Wondering if Pam is someone you can gain value from by spending a day with her? Watch Ian Sanders of ‘Juggle! Rethink Work, Reclaim Your Life’ as he interviews Pamela Slim at the South By South West Festival, Austin, Texas Sunday March 15th 2009.
What do Social Media Gurus have to Say?
Chris Brogan says this about Pam and her book:
“I’m really thrilled that Pam Slim has published Escape from Cubicle Nation. It’s the book I needed about four years ago, but that I can now reference when people ask me for steps on escaping their day job. Though I sometimes wanted her to be a bit more harsh or maybe slap us a bit to remind us it’s hard, Pam isn’t that kind of person. She’s a wonderful optimist with really great perspective. She’s got a great network of friends professionally and personally, and she knows how to help you achieve escape velocity.”
