About the Author: |
|
Born in England, Roberta R. Wieland is a “quiet entrepreneur” in more ways than one. As the president of Wieland Associates, Inc. (a leading noise control consulting firm in Orange County, California), Roberta developed simple promotional strategies that, despite her characteristic British reserve, quickly launched the company from start-up to six figures. Recognizing that the world of business networking is dominated by extroverts, Roberta implemented effective techniques that allow her—and other reserved businesspeople like her—to level the playing field.
Then, in an effort to assist others in their business promotion efforts, Roberta founded the nonprofit organization Quiet Entrepreneurs™. The group provides a comfortable environment in which quiet, shy or reserved business owners and professionals can meet, learn and grow professionally and personally. You can contact the author, and find out more about this unique organization, at: www.quietentrepreneurs.com.
