Creating Engagement with Your Awesomeness
I was recently at a tradeshow for my other business venture (MARRY ME!). It was a learning experience as I had to answer the same question in a variety of forms: What do you do? People would actually create a bubble away from the table until they decided whether they wanted to engage. Is this … Continue reading Creating Engagement with Your Awesomeness
Helping People with Their Fundraising
I had the privilege of spending a late evening with individuals needing help with their fundraising vision. It is very rewarding to help people see past the nuts and bolts of whatever they see is the process, and take them to a place where they get to create a vision for their goals! Sometimes that process … Continue reading Helping People with Their Fundraising

Bird crap on the window
How long do you let crap build up in your view? A friend of mine tells the story about the bird nest constantly getting built outside one of his main meeting rooms.

Experience or Expertise?
A few months back I read a lengthy post on LinkedIn challenging the idea of 'expertise' in the area of LinkedIn. People were posting this on their profiles, proclaiming it in their statuses, and providing how-to's on the matter. I agreed with him. It is something that gets stuck in my craw a little when … Continue reading Experience or Expertise?

Show and Tell Your Values!
I schedule and create meeting opportunities based on 3 of my core values in leadership. I say 'of', because I have more core values; they are simply beyond the realm of my workshops and coaching sessions. The 3 have an impact on all that I do, but they do not represent the people I love … Continue reading Show and Tell Your Values!
So What’s Next?
Do you take the time to review the impact you have had on the lives of others? In the midst of all the daily habits we take on, we occasionally forget the human element. Not just the tactics or items on the ‘to do’ list that involve select people. I personally lose sight of the … Continue reading So What’s Next?
Schedule by Subtracting?
Do you like planning and scheduling? For many who are like me, planning and scheduling can be both exciting and nightmarish. If you are at all in tune with the Myers-Briggs material, much of this is due to that last letter in your profile. I am a slight 'P', which means I lean towards the perceptive … Continue reading Schedule by Subtracting?
