Who’s gonna join me to support this organization!? #BloodCancer #lls #givingback #community #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

Taking the time to develop a business strategy can feel daunting. It also feels like the "boring" part of running a business. It doesn't have to be! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eJvBWg9r #myblog #mynewsletter #strategymatters #smallbizsupport #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

If you've been here a while, you may know that I am always fascinated by these national days. This one made me chuckle - World Emoji Day. 😂 Recently, my friend Melina Cordero has been sharing her findings on generational communication. We have more generations than ever before working together which can cause friction in the workplace in terms of our attitudes, communication styles, and tech. As a business owner/leader, are you ready for 5 generations working together? For more ways to ensure inclusivity in your workplace, head over to Melina’s website (https://lnkd.in/eeGeVQVc) to learn about working in a post-2020 world. You can also take a look at the cool platform she’s built to help companies do DEI differently (www.p20workplace.com). What's your top-used (overused) emoji? 🤔 #worldemojiday #inclusivity #DoyouspeakGenZ #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

Office Hours Today! Last month in OH, we covered lots of themes: community, sustaining a business, using new parts of our brain, and opportunities showing up – how do we react to them and barriers to entry. I think my favorite was "I know the answer, I just need help realizing it." If these sound like you, let me know, and join the call! #officehours #communityconnection #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

I cannot work with everyone. There was a time when I thought I HAD to work with everyone that came my way – it's how I get paid, how can I say no? They need me, how can I say no?? I had a client once who couldn't let go of control and was unwilling to accept help. They became downright belligerent on phone calls. It's not easy to fire a client but I did. As a business owner and a business consultant: accept the help. That doesn't mean agreeing with everything – it means remaining open to ideas and new perspectives. It means being honest with yourself. Are you approaching your business from a place of iron-fisted control or are you willing to release a little to see what's next? If you're the former, I'll kindly pass – we aren't meant to be. If you're the latter, let's talk! #imnotforeveryone #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

REI has been doing their #optoutside initiative for Black Friday since 2015, encouraging folks to get outside instead of shopping. They now have it as a separate tab on their website that encourages folks to Opt Outside throughout the year. View it here: https://lnkd.in/gJkrQvw Summer is a great time for a road trip! Time to hit the road, see something new, or visit an old favorite. Growing up, we rarely flew anywhere. One family trip to Greece in the 80s! We drove from Silver Spring, MD to Knoxville, TN in 1982 to go to the World's Fair - is that still a thing?? How do you travel? Do you road trip? Do you prefer a flight to your destination and staying there? Are you into Glamping?? Any good travel plans this summer? Here are some old photos to inspire you - they are not nearly as glorious as the photos on the REI site. #optoutside #roadtrip #summer2024 #familyvacation #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

Enjoy your Fourth of July! #july4 #independenceday #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter

Remember Foxtrot? The upscale corner store with a unique selection of products? Well, if you haven’t heard, they recently closed all of their stores and it was pretty abrupt. So what does that mean for the Foxtrot employees, featured brands, and investments? Head over to my blog to hear my thoughts on Foxtrot closing. https://lnkd.in/d5Qq2rFy Did you have a chance to shop in Foxtrot before their closure? Let me know in the comments. #foxtrotmarket #favoritedaughterfavoritethings #favoritedaughter
