In our fast-paced electronic world, things come at us pretty fast.   Most people are too busy to read every email (or any email) in-depth.  Most mailers received at home and at work look like junk mail and go straight in to File 13.

Some ways to enrich the lives of others… Continue reading ‘Reach Out and Touch Someone’ »

Credibility is built.   Credibility can be between two people or groups of people.    What is your professional BRAND?   Your Brand will involve credibility… or lack thereof.

Credibility goes hand-in-hand with trust.   Everything that we do in today’s world-both professional and personal- involves a great deal of trust and credibility.  Remember… you only have one chance to make a good first impression.  And many times that first impression is what establishes credibility- or establishes a “lack of credibility.”

No matter how experienced we are in life or in business, we each need a good mentor with whom to bounce ideas, ask for trusted advice, or maybe even give us a hug.  Younger or less experienced business people use mentors as a trusted advisor.  Young and inexperienced new mothers often hook up with a trusted and more experienced mother for much-needed advice!
