The Passion of Gary Vaynerchuk

April 29, 2011

This post is available at Forbes blogs: I have not had the opportunity to ever to be a guest on one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” episodes…but I now feel like I understand the insanity that ensues. Gary Vaynerchuk spoke at Virginia Tech on last night, and as I’m sure he always does, he blew the roof off the […]

Marching for the Future

April 28, 2011

We’d like to think women can have it all. I may have even said something like that at one point. But in order to have it all, there need to be systems in place to help. If you think about, women were the support systems for years…so it’s only natural organizations do something in return. […]

Striving for #1

April 26, 2011

When I decided to come back to school full-time, I didn’t think I would spend the next two years focusing on the job search. Yes, if I pause and think about the concept of taking myself out of the workforce, it follows that I would need to spend time finding my way back into the […]

Style Products: Shielo Hair Care Line

April 21, 2011

April 19, 2011

Over the last few weeks, I’ve become an economics nerd.

April 14, 2011

This post is available over at Forbes blogs – Work in Progress: Over the years, I have learned there is a fine balance between being direct and being aggressive. More on that later. When you’re aspiring to be the top in school, no one really mentions the “how” you get there as being important. In […]

Elections: Now is the Time to Do

April 12, 2011

I have to say it: I hate the fact that we’re already hearing about elections for 2012. Logically, I understand it takes a long time to educate the American public, sort out all the contenders, and make sure that we have qualified candidates when it gets to voting day. However, as a businesswoman, I’m a little […]

Right in the Black and White

April 11, 2011

A little joke in the business world is that whenever there is a question, the answer is usually, “It depends.” It’s a signal that instead of a black-and-white world, we live around shades of gray. Unless of course there are legal issues, and then it’s up to lawyers to explain why you crossed over to […]

Need a Job Before a Man

April 4, 2011

My mother once told me, “Don’t forget to get married.” I guess she figured if I was so focused on my career, I’d be oblivious to those gentlemen who were going to come a’courting. And then my friends shared with me this video about a five-year old girl who has already figured out her priorities: […]
