Newslink: Leadership

February 3, 2012

Jot Once, Remember Anywhere  OK, notetaking isn’t exactly a leadership skill.  But, I happen to be compulsive about taking notes in meetings of all kinds, so this article drew me in. Today’s newslink has some great tips for all different ways to jot quick notes to yourself – and keep them organized and handy.  From old-fashioned pen [...]

SOPA Stop Online Piracy Act.* I don’t know enough about it, yet. I do know that bloggers are one population that could be seriously impacted. You may have noticed yesterday that many tech websites were either blacked out or carried links to information about SOPA. The photo above is what wordpress.com (hosts this blog) looked [...]

Waving the white flag!

August 4, 2010

If you read my last post, you know that I was participating in an attempt to “hijack” Fast Company’s ”The Influence Project.” The goal was to try and turn something that was, frankly, annoying, and turn it into a force for good.  The hope was that Fast Company would see an opportunity to get some positive publicity out of [...]

Influencing The Influence Project

August 3, 2010

My July 17 post shared a link to an article about Fast Company‘s “The Influence Project.”  In my introduction, I shared that I felt “sucked in” by the influence project tweets.  The standard message was a link to a Fast Company article, along with the text “You are more influential than you think.” I clicked the link the [...]

Newslink: Leadership

July 17, 2010

Welcome To The Influence Project At its most basic level, leadership is influence.  Sometimes, the influence can lead us to a place we don’t want to go.  Have you been sucked in by “The Influence Project” tweets?  I admit, I was curious the first time I saw a tweet that stated “You are more influential than you [...]

Help Soldiers Read to Their Children

March 24, 2010

I am an unabashed book-lover.  This photo is my leadership library; nearly 300 volumes strong.  My enjoyment of reading is not a recent phenomonon, though.  Even as a child, I was a voracious reader. When we found out I was pregnant with our first child back in 1979, my husband and I started buying “Little Golden [...]

Sunday Service: CaringBridge

December 6, 2009

To launch her new business, Geben Communication, my socially aware, brilliant and generous daughter, Heather Whaling, introduced Geben Gives.  She acccepted nominations of non-profit organizations, used various social media outlets to publicize and to solicit votes, and the winner would get to choose a PR, Marketing, or Social Media package with Heather’s time and expertise donated. I felt very strongly [...]

Words as weapons?

November 18, 2009

I keep telling myself that, sometimes, you just have to move aside and let people believe what they believe.  It’s been a very challenging stand to adhere to.  I recently failed, once again. There is fact.  There is fiction.  Then, there is opinion. Opinion can be based on fact and it can be based on fiction.  The [...]

Shoot for the moon

July 20, 2009

Today is the 40th anniversary of the first time man walked on the moon. I remember when Neil Armstrong took those famous steps.  I remember sitting on the floor right in front of the TV, almost as if I could climb right into the TV and walk with him.  My Dad sat in his usual [...]

Chris Brogan says it all

June 12, 2009

I attended the Ohio Growth Summit on Tuesday, which celebrates the innovation of small business.  The event was sponsored by the Ohio Small Business Development Center at Columbus State Community College.  I was very impressed with the people I met; sincere, energized, smart, focused and everyone wanted to learn.  My kind of meeting! The morning kicked [...]
