Getting to Know Al

I had a hard time pronouncing Alistair’s name. He let me know straight away that I wasn’t the only one. What a relief! So, he gave me permission to call him Al, like he suggests to many of his American friends.

Al is a previous reporter turned PR expert. As a result he works with many influencers helping them to discover their story and feel comfortable sharing it with the world.

Permission to Believe In Your Story

Did you start your blog on a whim? Did you used to be a homemaker? A school teacher? A neuroscientist? Whatever your background, there was some impetus for starting a blog. That’s part of your story and it makes your site unique. Compelling.

Al is suggesting that you give yourself permission to believe in your story. And that you begin sharing it with the world!
