As the presenter, the evening was such a joy! An entirely receptive audience with so many great questions and comments. I can only hope I gave you enough food for thought and direction.
For me, this was one of the best nights of 2008. Hope you are all working on developing your brand.
I thought Tom was the perfect candidate for this kind of presentation. His connectedness was very apparent during the presentation, especially considering that he could address half the audience by name. For those who already knew Tom before the presentation, like myself, it was intriguing to find out how he does it. Tom has been referred to as one of the most connected people in Rochester, and it’s no wonder why.
His advice on how to brand yourself, make the right connections, and position yourself for success was outstanding. As a student interested in advertising and marketing, I’m always hearing about branding and positioning-but my professors are always talking about the product-not me. Tom gave a great reminder to everyone that it’s not just about the job-it’s about the person who’s actually doing the work, too.
Tom’s presentation was thought-provoking and motivational. I think everyone who walked out of Cleary that night went home trying to come up with ways to improve their brand. The topic and the timing were both great, too-with many students working towards jobs and competitive internships, this presentation definitely gave a leg-up.
Wonderful choice! I look forward to more events like this.

Stay in touch. We all need solid connections.
