Volunteer and help your career

May 22, 2013

I am winding down my non-profit volunteer consulting project. I am sad to see it end. I helped a local non-profit figure out a strategic plan for expanding internationally. I really enjoyed my team mates and I just love the client. I did this work because I wanted to give back to the community. We […]

How learning to use a compass can help you in business

April 10, 2013

If you read any of my blog posts, you probably know that I love the outdoors. I especially love hiking and kayaking. After a long, cold and snowy winter, I’m anxious for spring. I was excited to attend a recent LLBean compass reading class. I figured this would be a good thing to know for […]

Random thoughts while out driving

April 3, 2013

Lots to do today with a tight timeframe. Insurance paperwork needing to be done. Not fun. As I started my day, I began to look forward to it. I love being organized and blasting through my To Do List. For a moment, I did feel guilty, thinking I shouldn’t be enjoying my errands or my […]

How to make a good first impression – or not

I had to go to the bank to deposit a check. I’m already annoyed because I hate going to the bank. Long lines, annoying music, video screens in my face, tellers trying to sell, sell, sell. You get the picture. All I want to do is get in and get out, no conversation. The teller […]

What’s in a name?

February 20, 2013

For marketing and branding, a good name is key. The name of a product, service or company should reflect the essence of it. As a marketing person, I should be quite creative right? This is true most of the time, but I’m stuck on thinking of a catchy name for my new fitness and health […]

Technology – love it or hate it?

February 6, 2013

I personally have a love/hate relationship with technology. I love technology because: I’ve met some amazing people, who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. A special shout out to Bindu, Tony and Susan! I can workout where ever I want. Since I’ve been spending a lot of time over at my Mom’s, it’s wonderful that all […]

Just try it – lessons learned

How many times do we miss opportunities because of preconceived notions? If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I love exercise. A recent experience made me think twice about my assumptions. I learned some valuable lessons. I just love it when exercise teaches me about life. Because of my ongoing hip problems, I am […]

My 2012 blogging in review

January 10, 2013

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get […]

Are you for real?

September 19, 2012

It took me until my 40′s to be real. Up until then, I was following what I thought I “should” be doing. Now I follow my heart. And you know what? I’m happier and more successful. It’s also about being authentic. We keep hearing that for social media to be effective, you must be authentic. […]

Reflections on the end of summer

September 12, 2012

I’m torn about summer coming to an end. On one hand, I will miss all the hours of daylight. I love getting up early – can we say 4 am?. By the time I’m done with my healthy breakfast at 5 am, it’s already getting light outside. On the other hand, this has been a […]
