Working Remotely…Are You Prepared?

Other than 2 years of my career, I have always been an entrepreneur working from home.  Yes, I’ve gone to an office, facilitated training in an office, recruited in an office and had team meetings in an office…but the majority of my time, was working from home.  I don’t remember if anyone gave me a […]

How High Are Your Standards?

a check mark with the words excellent and bad

I always have interesting conversations and incredible people watching episodes when I’m at the airport.  I listen and observe, I engage and I observe some more.  At one airport, I was waiting for a flight and we were delayed so many times that it was almost a game to see when the app and the […]

The Value Of Coaching

When I started my company in 2009, one of the first things I did was to understand what I didn’t know how to do. I loved people, I could sell, I wanted to make a difference and always wanted to bring value.  All sounds great so far right? What I didn’t really know how to […]

When the Corporate World is on Holiday

Looking back on Labor Day weekend it seemed like Corporate America completely shut down. Every email I sent out or call I made even days leading up to labor day were met with the same message: …I will be back in the office on September 3rd… I guess the “we need it yesterday” sense of […]

Upgrading Is Not Always The Answer

Some of you know that I am not the most technologically savvy person around. That’s why I have my “dream team” who takes care of that.  I just need to know what to do and when and I’m good. For the past few weeks, my Mac has been showing me a yellow bar which tells […]

Shopping For A Candidate

Everywhere you look, listen or read the elections are in front of you. Everyone has a different opinion as to which candidate should hold the highest position in our country.  More than that though, the focus seems to be on the “Gender Gap” In one article it stated that if only women voted they would […]

The Best Label To Put On A Child

Recently I was asked to be on CW33 TV to talk about my favorite label for a child- “Kidpreneurs”  (Check out the video here!)  Imagine a child that has entrepreneurial tendencies and can monetize that?  Pretty powerful I would say! I did a lot of research about how kids can make money and spoke to some “experts” in the field. I […]

“You Won’t Like Me When We Are Finished”

… That’s how my strategy session began.  Not very comforting I would say. In truth, I trusted this friend and if I wasn’t ready to hear the harsh truth, I wouldn’t have asked for his help. So we began by defining a few categories, those that brought in money and those that didn’t, what absolutely […]

Courage To Fail

How many times have you thought you had a great idea, but were so sure you were the only one who would agree with you? Or perhaps you wanted to meet someone but were to afraid that they wouldn’t want to meet you back? More often than not we decide not to try something new […]

It Was Down To The Wire, And We Made It

How many of you have an idea in your head that you just know should be a book? I bet everyone reading this is nodding their head. I love to write and have always written in a journal or back then it was a diary. It was someplace to share your thoughts and dreams and it was for […]
