How Rude!
Are you listening to yourself? Are you hearing the voices in your head judging the people you meet at networking events thinking they won’t want to talk with you? When it comes to starting conversations are you dreading opening your mouth? Many people fear starting a...
Who Are You?
No really, who are you? I forget people names all the time. It can be a bit embarrassing at time, but it is a fact of my life these days. I meet lots of people at networking events and I always feel bad if I don’t remember their name. I am most grateful for people who...

Reflections of Thanks
Thanksgiving isn't just the time to share your gratitude it's also a time of reflection. At a women's event I attended last week we were sharing about how we show our gratitude and why it’s important. There's so many people that I'm grateful for, so many people in my...

One of the best ways to get noticed at networking events is really simple, arrive first leave last to leave. People love to see a friendly face when they arrive, so make a point to arrive early and be the first friendly face they see. Staying until last allows other...
