I am taking a position with Vital Smarts doing graphic design work. When I was interviewing, I also talked to the IT manager about my computer skills, and I might help do some slightly technical stuff for the marketing department as well… For those not familiar with the company, they are the new big thing. Think Steven Covey, minus the numbered lists, and plus a bunch of techniques that actually work…
Their big consumer products are two books, Crucial Conversations, and Crucial Confrontations. In the non-consumer world, they do lots of consulting work with gigantic corporations. There is a lot more to the company than that - but that’s the two-second version of who they are.
I’ll start working there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then once school is out (in a three weeks) I’ll be there full-time.

You’re working there and you didn’t post a link to their website!?

Pace, of course I don’t give them a link! They need to pay extra for that!
Just kidding. They do have a link. Click on the word “VitalSmarts” in the post. I will add them to my sidebar when I start working there. :p

that’s sweet. One of my professors at BYU use to work for them I think, but I can’t remember what it was he did. He mentioned Crucial Conversations and all that in class a couple times and I told him that you had told me about them once and how we were gonna watch them as an apt and stuff.
congratulations!
