A Conscious Decision about Valuing Your Time

June 12, 2012

One of the lessons I learned when I finished my MBA is that people value things differently. I always knew this in some context, but I think it became more apparent when a new group of graduates go back out into the world. We all seemed to be starting new lives with a variety of […]

June 5, 2012

It’s the early part of summer and college graduates are flocking to their new jobs in new cities. I can remember living in the DC area and seeing a fresh crop of grads each spring with that “I’m going to change the world” look in their eye. This happens across many cities in the US, […]

What Would Michelle Obama Do?

May 15, 2012

A few weeks ago, someone sent me the book “What Would Michelle Do?” since they thought I might be interested in a collection of tips about life from the First Lady. I read the book, but not so it could stand on its own. Instead, I read it as I prepared to graduate from my […]

Finding Your Fire

April 18, 2012

This post was written after my MBA program hosted its Women in Business event. I helped plan the function, and the keynote speaker was my mentor, Jeanne DaDamio, a woman who had an amazing 33-year career with IBM.  Finding inspiration for a speaking event may not always be the easiest when you don’t have a […]

Why I Love Texts from Hillary

April 6, 2012

If you haven’t seen them, you need to check out the Texts from Hillary memes that are going around the web. I started seeing the little text conversations pop up on Pinterest, and I started seeing which ones I could find. Visit the tumblr site for all of them, and I’m sure you’ll also start […]

Getting to that Time of Year Again

March 29, 2012

Hey everyone, I apologize I have not had as much content the last couple of weeks. I’ve lined up a bunch of neat things for you, but hang with me until we get there. School is winding down (I graduate in May and Michelle Obama is our speaker!), so papers and projects are a priority […]
