It’s often more natural to assess and identify areas of improvement in others, especially when working with a client or if strategic assessments are part of your professional portfolio – but what about when it comes to you.
A personal heart-to-heart. Have you checked in with yourself lately to identify areas where you can improve? Taking [...]

what social media means to me.
22Jun09I was recently asked a series of questions by a friend and classmate:
What Web 2.0 applications do you use? Use the most?
What do you see as the benefits (personal, professional) of using Web 2.0?
What are the challenges. restrictions, downsides to Web 2.0?
Where do you think Web 2.0 is headed?
How would you recommend a business make [...]
gone fishing.
15Jun09No not really, but that would be such a lovely release. Perhaps, soon.
Right now I am counting down the week until I have officially completed [and attained] my MBA. That’s right, the end is actually in sight with t-minus seven weeks …and counting. I have several ideas percolating and I hope to find some time [...]
three more months…
18Apr09The countdown is on!
It’s hard to believe that after three years of classes, homework, exams, papers, laughter – and the more than occasional tears, my degree is actually in sight. My second to last semester has been a brutal one, but also full of life lessons learned, which I’m both grateful for and humbled by.
The [...]
It’s only Tuesday night, but it’s been a trying week.
The bar I set for myself academically, personally and professoinally is high; my husband would argue too high. The result is too many hours, on too many things. This morning I was feeling particulary calm, assessing the past 24 hours and looking at the week/month ahead.
In [...]
I was incredibly humbled and inspired by Doyle’s recent comment regarding my declaration of setting digital boundaries:
You are working at the edges of a lot of this stuff, and your experiences, reflections, and wisdom is very important to share. The currency of human relationship is really evolving here. Its possible to know a gazillion people [...]
Balance.
Pure and simple is something that I not only crave on daily basis, but strive to achieve. Am I always successful? Of course not. I work full-time, attend graduate school part-time, am a devoted wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I’m an advocate for digital literacy, a seeker of infinite information, a lover of art and [...]
thumbs up/thumbs down: reinforcing twitter relationships/commercial interruptions on pandora
17Dec08Thumbs up: I’m loving the direct messages from Twitter! Recently, I have received a handful of direct messages from folks that I have started to follow (thank you). What a wonderful way to thank people for following you, further enforce the online relationship, and promote the other aspects of your virtual presence.

share the love, not the spam
12Dec08I’ll be completely honest, I love Twitter, but with one caveat, the spamming and Twitter has become spam-tastic. Just for the record I don’t gamble, model, rent stuff, need stuff or have any interest in acquiring such tastes. So if such Twitter members could please refrain from following me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Clearly I’m [...]
With the election less than two months away it’s hard to ignore the constant political chatter on NPR. I like NPR and BBC radio. They are honest – and while the news may not always be promising, it’s truthful.
It’s probably wrong to want to ignore such a prominent event as the upcoming [...]
