Greetings!

I probably don't need to tell you how YouTube has changed the world! Now everybody has their own shows (kids, pets, and people who shouldn't be broadcasting!). It's only fitting that we jump on board with our own Speak for Success channel. Please check it out! Likewise, please feel free to share your favorite videos with me!

You've read about our new Women's Leadership Institute here in the Ezine. I am thrilled to share a short video that was produced from our graduation ceremony. I send a special thank you to Sempra Energy who generously hosted our graduation for 150 people. Please take a few minutes to be inspired by our awesome graduates!

Here's to your success!

Remember when you were a kid and "telling stories" wasn't a good thing? Well, it turns out that as a business leader, telling stories is a skill that you need to master!

Let me introduce you to Evelyn Clark. Evelyn has made a name for herself by telling stories and teaching others how to. I think you'll enjoy her article called Storytelling for Leaders at her website.
