Online Newsletter: Statement of Policy

With the inauguration of our new Web Site, our firm will be publishing a quarterly on-line newsletter (a zine).  The newsletter will be hosted on our Web Site as well as sent to selected readers via email who are either existing clients or those who specifically request a copy by adding their name to our mailing list.  For those who receive it and want to be deleted from our mailing list, we’ll be glad to honor your request. We promise to keep it short – no more than 2 to 3 pages.  We know your time is valuable and we are not in the textbook publishing business.  Also, we will skip the jargon, the business-speak, and the psycho-babble. 

 

Perhaps, most importantly, the newsletter will not be a thinly veiled advertisement for our firm’s services.  Moreover, our newsletter will not contain self-serving case studies about how we “partnered” with our clients to produce miracles. If readers are interested in what we do along with the features and benefits of our firm’s services, they can look at our website at www.laserassociates.net and skip the newsletter.

 

Instead, the newsletter’s content will vary, but each issue will begin with a question; hopefully, a thought provoking and contentious one. Some of the issues will discuss our observations about human nature.  As stated, we promise to be controversial, even iconoclastic.  We’ll also try to be funny (although that’s always in the eye of the beholder).  Other issues will focus on observations with requests for your input and observations.  All of the issues, however, promise to be interesting, and all of the issues will request your feedback.  We want to hear from you.  Tell us if we’re right; tell us if we’re wrong; but above all else, tell us something. 

Below is a list of proposed topics for publication over the next several months.  If you want to suggest a topic and we think we can respond (intelligently), we’ll write about it.
