Are you trying to Build Your EDU Brand and finding that you aren't getting the traction that you think you should be getting? Perhaps the answer isn't you or your networking skills, rather it might just be your game plan altogether. For many of us, we have an idea to do "something" for "someone" with all of the good intentions in the world, but really aren't seeing the forest through the trees.
