We take them for granted.

We go about our normal days and we work, we take care of our families, and we often forget about them. Veteran’s Day is important because it’s one day a year but we should say “Thank you for your service” as much as possible. Today I salute my father who served in the...

This picture was taken by my 11 year old.

She’s one of my creative minds – artistic, creative, and always thinking. It’s LinkedIn appropriate because it truly captures my favorite season – fall. Anything that allows you to learn more about you as a person is LinkedIn appropriate in my book. We are...

I worked at a library when I was in high school.

It was my first real job. By real job, I mean the first one I got a real paycheck for. I was a babysitter for a family across the street from where we used to live. I don’t count that because I didn’t get a paycheck for it. At the library, that paycheck had my name on...

This was a quote that landed in my inbox this morning.

It speaks to me today so thought I’d share it here. Overall I’m not a big fan of sharing quotes on LinkedIn because too many people don’t give enough context to explain why it’s important. Here’s why it’s important to me…. I cried yesterday morning. I cried because I...

What makes you different?

I get that question a lot, got it today actually. There aren’t too many “Purple Squirrel Magnets” on LinkedIn. So that’s one thing. I also have a triangle strategy that’s unique. If someone calls himself or herself a LinkedIn trainer or coach, that doesn’t mean that...
