I started keeping a failure notebook, tracking all of my experiments: campaigns, brand anchors I've tested, video topics, etc. Basically maps out this: hypothesis, method of testing (and any other notes), result. Game changer. Test more. Fail more. Win more. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 #entrepreneur #contentcreator …see more

The app I'd most like to see made is one that helps you discover and pay for access to Events around you (especially with late notice) We're about to see a huge reaction against time spent online and to enabling people to see more in real life. I'm never going to visit hundreds of bars, hotels, live music venues, arenas websites to see what's on each night. The entire ecosystem of Theatres, music venues, sports, and other events as well as ticketing companies, is totally ripe for someone to come in and change this. ( I know it's been tried before)  I don't want to make it. I've 165 other things to do. But please for all the Silicon Valley types that want to reimagine juicing or make Airbnb for dogs or another bloody DNVB brand for rich kids, can someone just make this. …see more

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I've always struggled with just showing the highlight reel. I want everything I create to be honest, raw, and real. But even when you set out to do that it's hard as hell to actually show everything and what actually goes into building something of your own. I’m not saying don’t become an entrepreneur; I'm actually currently writing this at an entrepreneurship retreat. I love entrepreneurship. I love being in control, building a team, pushing people to grow, changing lives & businesses. But what I am saying is this – don’t believe the bullshit. The hustle porn. The idea that it doesn’t take work or sacrifice to build something of your own. Anyway, here's my truth. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

Earlier this year I tried to find a female mentor and failed. I went on plenty of lunch and coffee sessions, was actively telling people of my search, but couldn’t find the right fit. For so many people early in their career, it can feel impossible to find a mentor. I thought that I didn’t have anything to offer in return for the mentorship. I was reading an article by Bumble the other day on “How To Ask a Mentor Out for Coffee and Create a Lasting Relationship” and could TOTALLY empathize. I made so many of the mistakes that the article called out like 1. Making the first meeting too long 2. Using the word “mentor” too early 3. Not nailing my elevator pitch I’ve been chatting with great people on BumbleBizz. Download and checkout Bumble so you can find your very own mentor or mentee. How have you been able to find mentors? #BumblePartner …see more

Had such a fun time speaking about Social Storytelling at the 6th annual Berkeley Communications Conference with all the communicators at UC Berkeley. It's inspiring to see how folks in higher education continue to over deliver in the quality and creativeness of their work despite resource and budget constraints of a public institution. This is scrappiness and nimbleness at its very best, kudos! Honored to be one of the four speakers, especially since I started my marketing career at the university. (thanks: Kathryn Bader Debra Goldentyer Ram Kapoor ). Here's a recap of my talk through visual note taking from a talented member in the audience (so cool!).

I wore this 3D printed cast for days and the experience was far better than with plaster casts which I've had many times in my life. Light, easy to clean and I could even have a shower while having the cast on. It's not a real question whether you would choose a plaster cast or this one if you had a choice, right? #3dprinting #digitalhealth #technology #medicine …see more

Without a Choose Yourself strategy in every life situation, you give too much power to others in a worst-case scenario. Whenever I don’t give myself a “Choose Yourself” strategy I end up being unhappy. End up being sad... http://bit.ly/2zEpyNy

My message to the watch community about this interview? #Chillax Red bands are a fashion statement. I look spectacular! https://lnkd.in/dPqTBAS #watches #fashioneditorial #sharktank #MrWonderful #watchmaking

I’ve been very sad at points. I’ve been lonely. I’ve felt like I was no good at anything. I felt like I didn’t know what the rules were. For happiness. For living. How can I find out? And I felt that I was constantly trying to please others, just to survive, and nobody was trying to please me. These are the things that I’ve done that have directly helped me whenever I am feeling down. And in some cases, they have led to incredible success. …see more

Honored to be on the D CEO homepage today...I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining an amazing line up of women speaking at this year's D CEO Women's Leadership Symposium on June 2. Link in comments.

Did you watch the #halftimesuperbowl performance. It was spectacular. And I have been thinking about it a lot. I was unsure about posting on LinkedIn but then I felt it was worth sharing my thoughts. Set aside the entertainment factor and liking or disliking the performance. #JLo and #Shakira demonstrated Age is truly just a number (at 50 and 43 age). And we can all continue to create our new best at any age and overcome setbacks we inevitably face in our careers. They are both minority women. They embraced their difference and confidently blended both Latino and mainstream music. They owned the stage and I marvel at the hard work to reach the perfection they did. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. #BelieveinYourself …see more

I used to think I was absolutely bananas for having a fear of answering phone calls. I mean, it sounds crazy, doesn't it?! 🍌 I've had social anxiety since my teens but didn't realize what it was... I would enter the grocery store or pharmacy with eyes at the ground, safely avoiding any potential social interaction. I NEVER answer the phone unless it is a scheduled call... and even then it is uncomfortable. So when it came time to NETWORK, I was definitely out of my zone of comfort - but pushing myself was the best thing that ever happened to me. I still remember my first Skype call. A conversation with VIDEO!? What was I going to do?! Thankfully, it was with one of the most incredible women I have ever met and she eased my fears with genuine authenticity and kindness. Since then, I have taken two calls per day for the past two years and have seen the impact these calls have had on my bottom line and ultimately on my heart and soul. Don't let your fears hold you back. Pick up the darn phone! You never know who may just change your life...
