Whether it’s your business or your personal life, everything gets better when you take time to truly connect with people. There is something magical about being seen and heard. What can you do today to connect with someone? Maybe you need to call a past client to just…
I’ve been deep in creation mode putting the finishing touches on a talk that I’m doing in Denver next week about work/life balance. Secretly I think we are all looking for the magic bullet that will allow us to do it all. Reality check. That it’s never going to happen. No amount of efficiency training…

As I head out to Chicago today for leadership training with the Women’s Council of Realtors I’m reminded of how important it is to build your network and the part we often miss. Networking is doing things to bring you clients. People who will buy and sell with you. Your network is building relationships with vendors and others…
