A Little Praise Goes A Long Way

One of the interesting things about being a consultant is that one's life lacks the structure that comes with things like performance reviews, bosses that pat you on the back, and what not. And every so often, that sort of thing is kind of nice.

A current client of mine wrote recently this about my services and so I thought I hide the humble pie for a few minutes and toot my own horn a little:

"In my 20+ years working in marketing and new product development, I can only think of one other occasion where I've worked with someone as talented as Eric Mattson, and that guy went on to absolutely revolutionize Starbucks's point-of-sale experience. Not only is Eric unbelievably creative, he has the remarkable ability to focus on the critical path to getting a project accomplished. The combination of big thinking and dogged determination is what makes his contribution so valuable and unique. He has literally jump-started my 12-year-old business in the past six months by relaunching and re-purposing our content in blog format. We had the best quarter in seven years thanks to his efforts."
