Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute

Cross-posted from IABC/DC Metro’s blog, Capitol-Cast.

This kind of news is too delicious to keep to one’s self, so here goes: we’re thrilled that renowned writing coach, Ann Wylie, will be visiting Washington, D.C., early summer to do a half-day workshop for IABC/DC Metro on the wonderful world of writing.

Ann’s a fixture on the speaking circuit, at the stratospheric level, that is. She’s won more than 60 communication awards, including 2 Gold Quills, has been designated an “IABC Recommended Speaker” for her top ratings at […]

3 Questions to Ask – and Answer – When Launching a Twitter Chat

Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes

As founder of the #measurePR Twitter chat, I was invited to, and participated in, #chatmixer last night (party image, David Domingo, Creative Commons).

The idea was to bring together folks who routinely participate in specific chats, in an online/Twitter “mixer,” in an effort to widen their Twitter circles (would that be Twircles?) – hence the choice of #chatmixer as a hashtag.

This Is What 40 Looks Like

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

There’s a terrific post over at Women Grow Business today on “the incredible disappearing woman” by Liz Scherer, one of WGB’s regular contributors. As editor of WGB, you could accuse me of being biased, and I suppose that would be understandable… though not, IMHO, accurate, but that’s neither here nor there.

When I read through Liz’ post, these words of Gloria Steinem when told she didn’t look 40, as relayed by Mollie Katzen, struck a particular chord with me:

“This is what 40 looks like.”

In Perpetual Motion: Reflections On a 2.0 Vacation

Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes

That’s me coming out of a London phone booth on Heddon Street last week. If any David Bowie fans are reading this, they’re nodding their heads; and if the rest of you are scratching your noggins wondering what I’m going on about, here’s why Heddon Street is legendary to Ziggy Stardust fans, of whom my husband is king (and therefore, by association, am I queen).

In perpetual motion

You’re also probably wondering why I chose a photo that’s a bit fuzzy to illustrate this post. I did so because it captures me in motion, and […]
