I highly recommend May I Have Your Attention, Please! for anyone willing to explore themselves for their most successful marketing plan ever.

Whether you are interested in sprucing up your personal image or that of an organization, Chris Hilicki has a refreshing approach to brand identification and enhancement. Chris challenges you to examine yourself and identify who you are and to then capitalize on that uniqueness. She encourages you to bring your life guiding experiences, principles and values to light, for them to compliment and color your brand. She champions the concept of being yourself, first and foremost. You don't need to emulate or become like anyone else, because the genuine, unique you is the real brand that cannot fail. Chris brings a sense of dignity back to brand building by honoring authenticity, integrity, honesty and truth. You can build a unique and memorable brand by first just being yourself, not a copy.

I picked up the book looking for ideas on how to promote our business and my book. I came away with ideas for improving my life. Who ever guessed a business book could be so fascinating and gripping? I learned how to utilize my personal experiences to become proud of who I am, and to learn to use this to help others. Very valuable information for an author! After all that, I remembered why I bought the book in the first place and realized it really did show me how to brand my book and our business. A perfect book for those of us who must learn business and don't really enjoy the process--this book is educational, entertaining, and motivational all at the same time.

This book knocked my socks off. Chris nails one branding issue after another. Great for business person or any individual looking to improve their personal effectiveness. If you read this book and Covey's Eighth Habit at the same time, though, weird (but cool) things may happen in your life...just to warn you!

This book will change your life and your business!

We're converts to telling our true stories, and now we understand more about the process of analyzing and sifting and selectively choosing which stories to tell and how to frame them to accurately represent our intentions and meanings.

This book really inspired me to start a Non Profit for the education of people who have diabetes. The basis of my foundation is to offer nutrition counseling in the home
