Award Winning Design
Isn't it great to be recognized? Last week, I picked
up the local newspaper and read an article about a
local artist that won a gold medal in a national
competition for designing an admissions catalog.
There were 2200 entries! Wow, what an
accomplishment. Marc Tolen of
Creative Graphics is the art director for the brochure.
For years, Marc has been
designing catalogs, brochures and other marketing
material for the United States Military
Academy at West Point. His work is spectacular. I
met Marc years ago when he
was coaching Little League with my husband. When I
started my business, Marc designed my logo,
letterhead, envelopes, etc. Recently, Marc designed
my new CD covers. Marc is not only incredibly
talented but easy to work with. If any of you are
looking for a gifted graphic designer, give Marc a call
today.

Greetings!
Don't you just love Spring? It's a time for a fresh
start. I think that's why so many people do Spring
cleaning, to get rid of the cobwebs and dust. When
was the last time that you cleaned your workspace?
Cleaned out those file cabinets? Cleaned your
desktop? An organized workspace leads to calmness.
Calmness is good! We can all use a bit of calmness in
our busy lives. Happy Spring!

Work/Life Tip - Take a Mental Health Day
|
|
When was the last time you indulged yourself and did
something you love? Not something your spouse
loves to do or something your kids love to do but
something that you love to do. Here are a few ideas:
stay home and watch an old movie,
go on a hike,
meditate,
take a bubble bath,
call an old friend,
go shopping,
visit a museum,
pray,
paint,
garden,
write in a journal,
build a bird house,
take a nap in the middle of the day,
go to a crafts fair, put on your favorite music and
dance, color with your kids,
write in a journal, make a scrap book or just do
nothing!

Is a Speaking Career in Your Future?
|
|
Every time that I speak to an audience, someone
comes up to me afterwards and tells me, "I want to
do what you do for a living." My response is always
the same, "So, what's stopping you?" Then we have
a conversation right away or I tell the person to call
me if they are serious about starting a career as a
professional speaker. I love to talk with people
about the business of speaking. There are two
critical questions for a speaker to think about:
1. What do you want to talk about? What is your
passion?
2. Who is going to pay you to talk about the topic?
A few years ago, I delivered a workshop called
How to Break Into the Speaking Business and
Earn a Six Figure Income . I'm thinking of
offering the workshop again this June if there is any
interest. If you are interested in participating or
know of someone that is, please send an e-mail to

Is Six Sigma right for your organization
|
|
For years, major companies like GE, Motorola, and
Johnson and Johnson have been using Six Sigma
initiatives to help boost their business results. My
first experience with a Six Sigma roll out was with
Allied Signal in 1997. I was asked to help the Black
Belts improve their presentation skills. Since then, I
have partnered with Six Sigma consulting firms,
primarily SBTI, that are experts in delivering technical
traininig. My role has
been to coach Black Belts, Master Black Belts and
Green Belts regarding their communication, training
and influencing skills. I also facilitate Train the
Trainer programs for Six Sigma instructors. Six Sigma
thinking is about
reducing the amount of defects in a process. It's a
methodology that not only makes good business
sense but it's easy to implement. If you are
interested in finding out more about implementing a
Six Sigma initiative and
whether or not it's right for your organization, please
give me a call today.
