Ladies… do you pride yourself in taking copious notes in each meeting? Please stop. It’s called the “office housework” for a reason. According to research, more women than men are expected to take notes during meetings. Look, at some point you should be able to enter a meeting with complete focus, and come out knowing what you need to know and taking appropriate next steps without burying your…
Some of the ANTs are there for a real reason. I mentioned “survivor brain” last week. Imagine your ancestor, exposed in the bush. That sound of a twig breaking could signal a number of things. If you are a mother guarding her young, your first thought will likely be that it’s a predator. That feeling in your gut is pre-historic, and it’s caused by the ANTs—the automatic negative…

Why do you even have limiting beliefs that hold you back? According to cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), we all have automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). In neuroscience, this is the inner critic, but guess what, she’s our “survivor brain.” I’ll have more about that on Thursday’s #NSCJournalPrompt. But here is what you need to do to silence your inner critic. Catch and control the ANTs: ✔️ Catch them early—as…

Admit it… you’ve felt it. Email dread is real. I never will forget being at the airport on my way to a speaking engagement. I was attempting to get centered on my message before boarding a flight, and there it was. It was an email from my boss, who I liked a lot; but, he was carrying news from his boss, and she had concerns—about a meeting that…

All they know about you at the job is your work during business hours.…
“No one goes it alone.” You’ve heard that one before, and it’s true. But I joke that my business requires bodies and bots to make it tick. One way that I’ve been able to start up my businesses and make them viable quickly is technology. After all, I walk my talk about these “weapons of mass innovation.” No way it has ever been “just me” except for when…
