Doug Nielsen, "The Take Ownership Specialist" spoke to a sold-out crowd of C3N members at our annual holiday event. Undaunted by the challenge of delivering a motivational message in the midst of the most difficult economic times in recent history, Doug delivered in a real and meaningful way!  His message and tone were dead-on in recognizing the difficult realities that people encounter, but then he took attendees a step further in exploring what they can do to take ownership of their lives and situations.  Having worked in call centers himself, Doug's  message really resonated.
