We love to tell our client’s stories, but sometimes, we get to tell our own! Our blog is a collections of news stories, inspirational blogs and marketing trends that we think are cool, informative or just plain fun.Gratitude
Rather than pausing on Thanksgiving to give thanks on just one day of the year, how different would your life be if you practiced gratitude every day? I remember a time, not too long ago, when I was in a very dark place in my life. As I struggled to find a way out of...
By Association
“It’s who you know.” This may be true. But in a lot of cases, it’s also “who knows you.” So, how do we become known? How do we establish ourselves as members of an industry or a community? Social media is one way. We join Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and a myriad of...
Hard to Say
These past few days I've been working on a script for a national convention. While rewarding, it’s not been overly compelling stuff. Until now. Just now, I wrote a section of the script where a well-respected member of the industry was slated to receive an award. But...
A Change of Season
I love the change of seasons. It proves the natural rhythm of things. After 25 years in Florida where it's always perfect, and the years just run together in an endless sea of blue skies, now I welcome the cold, the rain, the snow. I know now I'm moving through life....

Clarity
Have you ever noticed that when you’re wishy-washy or noncommittal, nothing much happens? But when you’re clear, certain, concise and confident, the world becomes a magical place? When you are very clear about what you want, people, situations and opportunities will...
Life is a Relationship Business
I’ve been having a lot of coffee lately. Not because I need a caffeine fix, but as a vehicle to meet with other people. The “let’s meet for coffee” kind of coffee. Which for me, it’s not even coffee at all. It’s Chai Tea. But that’s another story… Over the course of...
One Degree of Separation
It’s said that every person in the world is just six degrees of separation from every other person in the world. The idea is that if you wanted to meet someone, you’re only six steps away, by introduction, from anyone else on the planet. We’re just that connected. You...
The Power in the Question
“There’s more power in the questions you ask than in the answers you give.” This quote is from John Marshall, a Seattle-based business coach. I had the pleasure of sitting in the audience for one of his presentations last week. His quote resonated with me. Why? Well,...
