Not Technical Like That

“I can’t do this. I’m not very technical,” my client said frustratingly over Skype. We were talking through her strategy for deploying social media as part of her relaunch.

Start With the Question

“How do I start a Christian school?” That was the question I popped into Google 11 years ago late one night as I struggled to be comfortable with my 8-month pregnant self.

How Confident Are You Ladies?

Women don’t show up until they have the perfect script. Carol Sankar What are you waiting on to show up and make your mark? That was the question I began to ask myself as I reflected on Carol Sankar’s presentation during #LEAPAntigua this past week. I enjoyed having only to sit and take in the […]

LEAP Into Your Business
