The Academy of Women Leaders is an amazing organization within the YWCA that brings together women to help each other in business, life, and the ever struggle for balance. I was honored to be included on a panel on Wed. March, 11th, discussing entrepreneurship. I often find that when I sit on panels like this I learn as much, if not more than I teach. At this one I learned about psychological interviews, spinning work events for your kids so they still feel special, and was reminded of the constant theme that I find in Women Business Leaders – confidence. Many thanks to the great folks at the YWCA for a great event. You can follow them on twitter. And find some coverage of the event on their site.

My fellow panelists were amazing women and I would encourage you to check them out and their companies.

L2 Social Graph Clinic – Was a great success

I was honored to be among a great group of speakers at this event by Luxury Lab (L2). It was called the Social Graph Clinic. The audience was a fantastic group of leaders in luxury all eager to improve their standing in the social media space. It was great to see some old friends and make new ones. Also, I quote Erik Qualman a great deal, so fun to be able to do it infront of him. Here are some highlights from that day.
