Open concept office spaces are all the rage but you have likely seen the push back on them – they are noisy, they are distracting, they don’t work. But is that true? In our opinion, well designed coworking spaces aren’t noisy or distracting – they are quite the opposite. Light, acoustically sound, green, designed for maximum productivity and connection.

We're inundated with text. Most social platforms are full of this or that post, that's text based, with an image or video. Even our phones, you see people speaking on them less than looking at them. However, your VOICE is powerful. Think about it, it's someone's birthday. What do they like to hear or see. Your voice singing them happy birthday or a txt message, "Happy birthday".

Here’s an idea: Every month, pick something you hate or know nothing about, and get to know it well. Spend a few hours per week, for an entire month, just learning about that subject. Why?

The Wall Street Journal recently had a pretty damaging article about influencer marketing. The challenge is two fold a) do they really help and b) do they disclose the relationship. I've been a "small business influencer", what I'm often called in the industry for many years. As such, part of my business is to be compensated by brands to share their information with my community and/or to represent them in other ways.
