My Most Shocking Audience Moment
Hi everyone! Once when giving a talk to an intimate group, I was talking about the Law of Giving (AKA chapter 10) and I shared that I had spoken to over a hundred people seeking to start their own business. At that moment the most surprising thing happened. A man in the audience raised his […]

Do You Still Need A Cover Letter?
Back in my finance days I did a lot of hiring. When I went to a start up it lessened but was a much more critical task. When hiring an office manager I must have received several hundred resumes. I barely looked at the ones that did not have cover letters. I will never forget […]

Do You Wear The Interview Mask?
I’ll never forget one former student from my NYU teaching days. He asked if I would conduct a mock interview with him. We sat and chitchatted and he was perfectly warm and friendly. As soon as I started asking real interview-type questions, he stiffened up, lost his smile, and changed his tone. I tried to […]

Possibly the Worst Summer Job Ever
Hello! How did I come up with the current idea for my TED Talk title? From the worst summer job ever! I spent the summer of my junior year of college working in jury control at the Newark County Courthouse. I know, you are all so jealous right now. Believe it or not, it wasn’t […]

How Often Do You Ever Ask Yourself This Question?
Hi everyone! What are you waiting for!? Yup, that’s the question I ask myself all too often when I am procrastinating about something. It is resonating with me right now since it’s that time of year that parents can’t wait for and kids dread — back to school. Check out my handsome boys ready for […]

Success Shortie Video: Vulnerability Leads to Credibility
Hi everyone! I surprised myself when I shared in my last note to you how closed off I used to be and about the moment when I started to take a chance and open up. That brings us to another saying that made me incredibly uncomfortable, at first. When I heard the phrase, “Vulnerability leads […]

Success Shortie Video: Small Steps to Break Down Big Walls
Hi everyone! I chose a viewer question for this week’s Success Shortie because ten years ago I would have written it myself. They shared that they have been guarded their whole life, and that this has prevented them from developing meaningful relationships. First, I get it. I was in a leadership program once and proclaimed, […]

Success Shortie Video: Don’t Make the Same Mistake I Made!
Hi everyone! I always say that I teach all the mistakes I’ve ever made, and today is no different. Do you ever undervalue your opinion? I bet you may not even realize you are doing it. It can be subconscious. When I found myself guilty of this bad habit, instead of kicking myself, I thought […]
