Life is Simply Made up of Many Transitions…
I will never forget that particular day in February, many years ago, when I received the call that my sister was on her way to the hospital because she was going to have her first baby. This was big news in our family, mainly because she was the first sibling to have a baby. It was doubly exciting for me because I was going to be an aunt and she had asked me to be the baby’s godparent. I was awed and taken aback, sounded like a big responsibility, yet I was thrilled and jumped in with both feet as I always do. The christening was about 6 weeks later, so I booked my…

Nothing happens in marketing until something moves…
It’s the beginning of 2009, and all best laid plans are being drawn out now for a fantastic 2009. For some people they’re fearful, worrisome and pessimistic.

Don’t be afraid of your “super powers…”
I’m dumbfounded by the number of people I meet and work with who take so much of their talent for granted. They take their own knowledge for granted and assume everyone else has the same knowledge that they have. Time and time again, I run across this, and I’m not excluded from this category either. I think I’ve gotten much better over the years in really recognizing my knowledge (or as my Executive Coach calls “my super powers.”) in certain areas, how it’s useful, how I can help others, and even how I can package and sell some of it. We did a great exercise at our Mastermind meeting, where…
