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 […]

Insanity workouts – Nancy’s excellent adventure

April 24, 2013

With all the sadness and terror last week, I thought we could do with some light hearted postings. I am going to tell you about my experience doing Beachbody’s Insanity (R) program. As the name implies, this is one tough program. Picture Army boot camp intensified. Only a true exercise fanatic could love something like […]

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 […]

How to make a good first impression – or not

March 27, 2013

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 […]

Are you a Facebook fan?

March 20, 2013

I love how my blog ideas come to me through my everyday activities. This post came out of a simple question from my husband, “Do you hit “like” for Facebook Fan pages?” My first response was, “No way, I have no interest in big companies and their products. They only want me to “like” their […]

What is your perfect day?

February 27, 2013

Let me make you think a bit more – what is your perfect work day? We all could easily come up with our perfect vacation. I’m blessed that I love my life and my work, so I can also come up with my perfect work day. As a matter of fact, this day occurred just […]

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 […]

Bring on the snow!

February 13, 2013

Okay, so my hip is only marginallly better. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be fit and strong. This was brought home to me during the recent blizzard, Nemo. All told, we got about 30 inches of snow. My dear husband’s snow blower wasn’t powerful enough to plow through this, so guess who was out […]

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

January 30, 2013

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 […]
