Style Products: Shielo Hair Care Line

April 21, 2011

One of the hardest challenges I have when it comes to my professional look is maintaining some semblance of the hair style I started out the day with. I have incredibly fine hair and always seem to live in humid locations. By lunchtime, any blowouts, curls, and poofs are all flat… When Stergios at Shielo […]

Where Does Your Money Go?

April 19, 2011

Over the last few weeks, I’ve become an economics nerd. I really have only scratched the surface, but I’m starting to learn enough to understand that our government has a very complicated conversation it needs to have with us…and not put it off until after November 2012. One of the major effects of globalization is […]

Being Boss And The Minefield Of Office Friendships

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.

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.

Anonymity isn’t an Invitation to be Rude

March 30, 2011

This post is available over at Forbes blogs: Social media has brought a sense of “realness” to the fakeness of online identities. People used to hide behind anonymity, and then we declared (with Mark Zuckerberg leading the way) that you couldn’t be taken seriously if you were hiding behind avatars and names like TechKitty5837. We embraced […]

Speaking the Same Different Language

March 29, 2011

One of the most valuable things I am bringing with me to my MBA studies is that I look through the world with a Marketing lens. I am continually fascinated by my Economics class because it makes total sense product, pricing, promotion, and placement decisions would all be made based on supply and demand. Or that […]

Dead End Gene Pool: Book Giveaway

March 24, 2011

One of the reasons we love Reality TV is because the funniest things happen when life is unscripted. As is often said, “You can’t make this *#&$ up.” In fact, the way most comedic movies and shows come about is because one of the writers walks in and says, “You’ll never guess what happened to […]
