Guest Post: Women in Business

I have never once been impressed by the fact that I am a female entrepreneur. What I am proud of, is that I started my own business, grew it to $2.5 million and 17 employees, opened a second office in Boston and have never had a layoff in 10 years. None of those accomplishments has [...]

“What Makes a Top Performer in Business?” Series: Part I

Sitting on my shelf collecting dust bunnies since last fall, I finally decided to pick up and open the book Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin. What suddenly peaked my interest in the talent subject was graduating exactly a year ago and where I have come in my career since then.  It got me thinking [...]

Why You Need to Read the “The Thank You Economy”

Gary Vaynerchuk has done it again; he wrote another social media masterpiece!

The Importance of Setting Personal Goals

With all the hustle and bustle of our daily jobs, it might be easy to forget about the importance of setting personal goals. Chernee’s recent post about the value of taking time away from stress falls right into this category. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was running my second half-marathon in Disney World. [...]

Overcoming Personal Fears In the Workplace

Starting the New Year on the Right Foot

I have never been the type of person that sets New Year Resolutions…..However I do set goals for myself all the time and do believe with a New Year comes a New Beginning. With 2010 being an unusual, and at times challenging year for me, I thought it would be good to put together some [...]

A Letter to the Workplace

Dear Workplace, I recently joined the workforce in May after graduation, and was eager to share my ideas and, more importantly, learn from others in the industry. So far, I have not been labeled “Gen Y” to other workers, but rather seen as a hard worker, excited to excel in my position. With all three [...]

Guest Post: Advancing Your Career Outside of 9 to 5

Working to advance your career is a job in itself. Unfortunately, it’s just not a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. thing. Ninety percent of people go to their job, grab their coffee mug, do what is asked of them and then leave at 5 p.m. – most of the time it’s probably 4:58 p.m. That [...]

My Boss is My Hero

I think one of the hardest jobs in life and one of the most rewarding opportunities is being able to be called the “Boss”. It may not be the most glamorous title but with it comes tremendous amount of responsibility.   Bosses also make mistakes, because I had meant to post this blog on Saturday, but [...]
