As usual tomorrow's post will include topics for this week's #shehechat over on Twitter at 8 p.m. CST each Thursday evening. Shelby Says I would … [Read more...]
10 tips to find more time to write
I'm often asked how I find the time to write four or five blog posts each week. Here's how: 1. Turn off the TV. I do watch TV, but when I do it's typically live sports or shows we've recorded on the DVR and watch as a family (skipping over the commercials to compress time). What I don't do is have … [Read more...]
But of course colors have sound!
My work at ColorMetrix has me too wrapped up in the technical aspects of color to remember that yes, "of course colors have sound!" It took my friend Cynthia Thomas's tweet shared in the image above (and as the title of this post) to remind me of that. She was responding to a message I sent out via … [Read more...]
Paying respects and saying goodbye
Earlier this week, I attended the funeral of a dear family friend. There were a lot of folks in the sanctuary to pay their last respects and say goodbye to Erv. It made me wonder why we attend funerals. They aren't particularly fun events, after all. It's respect. We go out of respect for the … [Read more...]
Email, the most powerful weapon in your online arsenal
Social media tools like Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and even Facebook are pretty powerful weapons in your online arsenal but they haven't got anything on the old standby email. This post isn't even about email marketing and sending bulk emails to lists of folks. Instead, it's a story about how we've … [Read more...]
Email is a necessary evil, but I have a strategy
I do not like email. There, I said it. Yes, I know that it's the basis of many business conversations. I know that people rely on it to keep up with colleagues, family and friends every day. I use email every day myself, but that doesn't mean I like it. For me, email is my last chosen form of … [Read more...]
Let's help each other out
I could use your help. Here's the thing: I'm not so great at asking for help so, before I even get to that, I want you to know that your offer to help comes with an immediate return on investment. If you can help me out, I'll find a way to return the favor. How I can help you 1. Meet for coffee or a … [Read more...]
How to travel for business and enjoy it
Traveling for business often isn't as exciting or glamorous as those on the outside looking in perceive it to be. There are, however, a few tricks I've learned over the last quarter century to make the most of life on the road. I've snuck in enough fun to more than make up for the missed flights, … [Read more...]
Why your Klout score matters
Your Klout score matters for the same reason your bank account balance matters or, for that matter, the level of your car's gas gauge. Klout is a measure of how far you've come in social media and more importantly how far you can go. I'm not one of those people who thinks we should all just get … [Read more...]
Birth of a Brand and She Said, He Said LIVE
When Jim and I spoke at WordCamp Chicago, the only canned part of our presentation was a short history of how She Said, He Said was born. We shared this story with our live audience that day and thought later that it might be fun to share it with our readers too. We’ll do this one in true She Said, … [Read more...]
