Student Athletes Not Getting The Professional Preparation To Succeed

December 6, 2010

This post is written at Forbes Blogs – Work in Progress. As we head into the Bowl season for college football, I’m reminded of all the stories that break about inappropriate behavior between agents and these athletes. Some might believe that if the agents aren’t going to behave better, the students should be the responsible [...]

Don’t File Those Interests Away

July 20, 2010

I love art, food, dance, and theater. That range of interests doesn’t seem to open many professional doors. Or so I thought. Back in high school, I took the core classes (math, science, English, and history) through senior year. After adding my language classes, I put art and journalism on top of those. I had [...]

Connecting with The Girl Who Played with Fire – Internship Opportunity

July 11, 2010

Lisbeth Salander is a woman I’d never want to double-cross. Too bad plenty of bad guys never learned that lesson. Stieg Larsson created a wonderfully complicated woman in the character of Lisbeth. She breaks the rules, takes matters into her own hands, and manages to fight her way through all kinds of tribulations. If you [...]

Being a Funny Girl

July 8, 2010

Have I ever told you that I grew up thinking that life really was a musical? People would spontaneously break out in song and dance, knowing an invisible orchestra would provide the score? Sometimes I still try to sing in public, hoping someone will join in to Annie’s “Tomorrow”… A few years ago I finally [...]

Figuring Out the Script

May 25, 2010

Being out of practice has changed my own comfort level. When I step up, the adrenalin rushes through me so quickly, my body is shaking violently. I can’t channel her as easily anymore, and I don’t know if she’ll show up this time. What if it’s just me? For years I was a pretty committed [...]

I Don’t Know What That Means

April 9, 2010

When did we stop good-old-fashioned learning? Yes, we pick up business skills and lessons from life experiences, but when was the last time you picked up a text book or academic journal? I’m always late to the party when it comes to tv shows. That is how I discovered Bones this week. I have always [...]

What a Waste

March 31, 2010

There’s something that I see happen all the time: the waste of potential. You’d think with the recession that companies would have figured out the extra skill sets people have. Nope. It doesn’t even have to be employers. There are tons of people who could do amazing things…and they don’t. There are two major ways [...]

Hi, My Name is Emily, and I Am Pro-Corporate

February 18, 2010

Yes, I admit it, I am pro-corporate. All you people who hate “the man” and are “anti-establishment” probably think I’m insane. The thing is, I don’t think I really am. See, I’m a person who likes structure. I tell everyone, “I can think outside the box, but I need a box.” Part of my jobs [...]
