Thumb - strength of character Establish pre-eminence (the you who shows up before you show up) Pointer - FOCUS 'Follow one course until successful': know your outcomes, take action, find what works and what doesn't, re-align until you achieve outcomes Middle - brand Who are you? What do you stand for? Are you who you say you are? Standards, benchmarks Ring - relationships 10% interested in working with you, 30% might, the rest probably won't ever Little - little things that count (what you do that others don’t) It's all about them. What is your core story? '90 sec elevator pitch'
Who is your audience? What is your focus? What is the core thing you want to get across?

As information specialists, libraries cannot afford to be
perceived as ‘missing the boat’ in delivery of information, or our clients may decide we are
irrelevant to their needs.”

“...few mobile Web sites are as user friendly as an app, even when they’re from the same publisher. The better apps also keep some or all of the data on your
phone or tablet, avoiding data charges, and they’re formatted to take advantage of your device’s dimensions and technology.”

patrons to come to them, but must reach out to their patrons in

relevant to their users.”
