This week’s guest on It’s Great Business is Jay Sullivan, Exec-Comm’s Managing Director who is focused on helping business professionals communicate better. The Boston College, English graduate started out as a High School English teacher in Jamaica which led him to volunteering and living at an orphanage. He later returned to the states and became a public interest as well as corporate attorney. Jay’s philosophy is that we can have several careers throughout our lives and he has certainly taken this to heart. In addition to his law career, Jay is now a columnist for Forbes.com, a Georgetown Law and Fordham University School of Law adjunct professor and author of two books: Raising Gentle Men: Lives at the Orphanage EdgeandSimply Said: Communicating Better at Work and Beyond. I can’t wait for you to listen and learn - starting with a one of Jay’s tips that suggests that when you introduce yourself, use a phrase that goes beyond title and focuses on what you do e.g. “I help who, do what…?” If you would like to connect with Jay, he can be reached at jsullivan@exec-comm.com.
