No Show? Not Cool.

No Show? Not Cool.

in Cathy's Blog

Have you ever booked a meeting with someone and then had the nerve to be 20 minutes late or even worse, “no-show” them? What about having it happen to you? Bet you were royally cheesed. It’s always been a pet peeve of mine when people (including me) are late. Now I’m not perfect (as I fly into a meeting at mach 5 with my hair on...

2020 is NOT what we “goaled” for.

2020 is NOT what we “goaled” for.

Mother Nature has definitely hit the reset button and our lives and businesses have defaulted back to factory settings. I’m sure you’re with me when I say that I never would have expected anything like this in my lifetime. This worldwide pandemic has affected us in ways none of us could ever imagine. I mean, who would have thought we would be entering...

They’re looking for YOU.

They’re looking for YOU.

in Cathy's Blog

They’re looking for you. Yes they are. Clients who need help and are searching for a talented, knowledgeable and amazing expert. They’ve hit a brick wall. They don’t know how to pivot. They need YOU! And what’s that I hear? You need them? No sh*t Sherlock! The economy has tanked, everything’s up in the air and quite frankly, unless you...

Is Your Cape Starting to Fray Around the Edges?

Is Your Cape Starting to Fray Around the Edges?

in Cathy's Blog

Why do we feel the need to be SuperWoman? As women, we are supposed to do it all – or so we think. Being successful means maintaining the demands of multiple roles: businesswoman, employee, breadwinner, daughter, sister, partner, homemaker, mother, chore and homework supervisor, family taxi driver, meal planner, or some combination of any of these and probably...

Cheers to the Unsubscribes!

in Cathy's Blog

I work at creating content that is relevant, resonates and gives value – like my Daily Espressos. There’s research and thought put into each piece before the ‘publish’ button is even clicked. So I remember when I became a featured writer for the Entrepreneurial Women’s Magazine fairly early in my blog writing career. After my first...

Goal Setting: Make it as Easy as 1-2-3

No matter where you are in the year, the best way to measure and ultimately achieve our desired success is to have goals and milestones. If you’re like me – optimistic (AKA over ambitious) you started the year with a huge list of BHAGs – Big Hairy Audacious Goals and then as the year progressed, they either fell by the wayside or more...

Forget about January,  September is the start of the New Year!

Forget about January, September is the start of the New Year!

in Cathy's Blog

Sure, January 1st may mark the beginning of the calendar new year, but for most of us, it’s more about the excitement of the parties and the continuation of the holiday season than an actual new beginning. If you think about it, there’s really not much “new” about that time of year. It’s the ‘middle’ of winter; it’s...

I Don’t Speak Templatesian

I’ve been getting more than usual requests to include links to the TCW resource page from supposedly ‘sharing’ and caring individuals. Let me be clear – I do NOT know them nor have I previous knowledge of their company or services. Now because my brain is wired that way, I’m always looking for an AHA! or sales insight that I can share...

Happy New Year! Happy Valentine’s Day!  Happy Easter!  Happy Canada Day!  Merry Christmas! TGIF! Woohoo it’s Monday! Well, ok, maybe not that last one so much … But no matter what time of year it is, it’s always a good idea to regularly update (or delete!) your online accounts and profiles. With technology so...

It’s About Creating Memories…

It’s About Creating Memories…

in Cathy's Blog

It’s about creating memories, not giving ‘stuff”. Mother’s Day is this weekend. My mom died 40 years ago, yet she is still with me through my memories. While flowers are nice, and a gift is always appreciated; the gift that has the greatest impact is the gift of time. Our lives seem to speed up with each passing year and it can be...
