Guest Post – All Eyes on Me

44: A List for Lasting Impact
The Business of Storytelling
Everyone loves a great story. Action, drama, and rom-com alike, everyone loves a movie that tells an unforgettable story. It’s why last year approximately 1.3 billion* movie tickets were sold. Yes, you read that right. Billion. With a b. Movies are big...
In the Name of Being Honest
“So casually cruel in the name of being honest.” It’s a stop-me-in-my-soprano-voice lyric from the T-Swift song “All Too Well”. One of my absolute favorite songs by her. You can listen here AFTER you read the article 😉 The first time I heard it, it struck...
A Fail-Proof Success Equation

Leap of Failure or Fulfillment…Either Way
For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, you know about my trip last April to see Oprah’s Super Soul Sessions. During my time there, I was particularly struck by the message Cheryl Strayed shared (listen to it here). There were so many...
Bringing Strategy Back
You’ve probably heard the phrase “hire slow; fire fast.” No? Well, now you have. It’s a philosophy I subscribe to not only with hiring but also in overall business. I started noticing a trend in business, and it’s one that makes me want to go postal, just like...
