I may be on vacation this week, but it doesn’t mean that you’re without content here at Zen! We’re back with another Two for Tuesdays, and our second installment of "thought leaders to follow!"

Thought Leader One: Eric Fletcher

Eric’s blog bio tells us: 

With more than twenty-five years of experience, spanning broadcasting, advertising, marketing and professional services business development, Eric Fletcher is a seasoned connector — of ideas, people and strategic growth-oriented solutions. For the past dozen years he has managed and directed teams focused on targeted business development and client service in the legal industry."

I first met Eric virtually when he was brought on as the CMO of a former member firm of the ILN. But I really got to know him better when he started blogging over at Marketing Brain Fodder. Eric always writes brilliant, well-thought out and timely posts, which get me thinking and challenge me to be a better marketer and communicator. 

You should definitely connect with Eric and get to know him better. You can find him: 

Thought Leader Two: Cordell Parvin

As I’ve said before, one of the great gifts of social media for me has been the relationships I’ve developed with some extremely smart people online. One of those is Cordell Parvin. 

Cordell’s blog bio tells us: 

Drawing on 36 years of experience as a construction law rainmaker, Cordell Parvin works with lawyers and law firms to develop the next generation of great attorneys. He guides lawyers in finding the right attitude, setting appropriate goals, developing strategies for time management and building networking skills."

Cordell blogs regularly and is always offering thoughtful, actionable information to make attorneys better rainmakers – and he’s not just paying lip service to these tips. As a former practicing attorney, he’s got the experience to back it up! So head over to connect with Cordell today too! 

As always, we’re limited to just two here on Two for Tuesdays, so add any of your own thought leaders in the comments below!
