This is the LAST speaking event I’m doing this year — so you don’t want to miss out! We’ll be talking about LinkedIn mistakes to avoid, how to stand out in a sea of...

what I learned in year 3 of solopreneurship

Reflections on Year 3 of Solopreneurship (Special Edition) Hi Reader, It’s been 3 years since I was laid off and began this crazy journey of solopreneurship (or should I say, entrepreneurship, now that I’ve made my first full time hire!).

Many of them kept mentioning “year three.” “Year 3 is when you’ll know if your business is sustainable.” “You’ll finally find your rhythm by year 3.”...

the meeting prep step 90% of people forget

Fun Feature on CNN! It's time to stop saying "sorry" so often at work! (I've been very guilty of this…) I sat down with CNN to discuss ways to shift your language and start speaking like you belong in the room. Watch my interview here! Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, one of my Stanford students had a lightbulb moment in class. She told me: “I always create agendas for 60+ minute meetings. But I never thought about doing it for 30-minute ones.” She was about to introduce a new teammate to a...
