I’m not often left speechless, but after last week’s Momentum Live: The CEO Experience in Havre de Grace – I was. It was three amazing days with people who are even more amazing. People with awe-inspiring goals and the drive to make them happen. And the energy that happens when like-minded people are gathered together is absolutely incredible – you could practically feel it. And, as I was driving back home from Maryland, I took some time to reflect on my favorite

While I may be busy putting the final touches on Volume 2 of “What Businesses Need to Know Right Now,” – I could not be more thrilled that Johns Hopkins University has invited me to discuss Volume 1. On Friday, October 15th at 12 NOON ET, I will be sharing much of the great advice that came from interviewing over 40 experts during the pandemic. This book covers strategy, diversity, finance, communication, mindset, and more! And with so many experts

What is the difference between a trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret? They all fall under the umbrella of intellectual property. Most people refer to that as IP. Trademarks protect elements of your brand. So, when you think of your brand, you think of your business name. Maybe you’re doing business as your name; maybe it’s a product or service name, logo, tagline – those are all things that trademarks can protect. Copyright protects your content – all of the

What are two words that you just dread hearing? Could it be some of these? · Taxes Due · Fake News · I Can’t · Too Late · Strategic Planning Well, you’ve still got a few months until taxes due needs to be uttered. Here’s hoping that fake news is on the decline. And I’ve got to agree with you on I can’t and too late – nobody likes to hear those words. But I’m going to wholeheartedly disagree with you on strategic planning. Yes, I’m one of those

Using your psychology expertise, what do businesses need to know right now? There’s a growing trend in focusing on employee experience and customer experience. There is a very psychological aspect to think about how someone feels when engaging with your company. Although, this has been turned more into another KPI, another metric – like a checkoff list. You say, “Okay, we asked them, and now we can move on.” The missing piece, though, is that as a psychologist, yes, we assess, do

On Thursday, everyone was introduced (or reintroduced) to Sensei Victoria Whitfield, who is one of my wonderful co-hosts (along with Brian Rassi of Enstigate) at Momentum Live: The CEO Experience next week. Sensei Victoria offers some incredible retreats that allow you to reconnect with your vision and your mindset – and you’ll find them all incredibly valuable as a way to bring the focus back to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. And couldn’t we all use a little more of that? Do you

While we are not yet out of the woods with COVID, many of us are returning to the office and beginning to conduct “business as usual” or trying to find a semblance of normal (if either of those things really exists anymore). With those things in mind, I’m thrilled to announce that John Hopkins University will be having a panel discussion entitled: Women & Work: COVID’s Impact and the Return to the Office on October 8th @ 12 PM ET. During this

What can business owners learn from the global community about economics, the pandemic, social unrest, etc.? It’s a very diverse picture out there at the moment. This is one of the few things in the world which everyone is experiencing at the same time. So, there are common lessons across the board. One of the lessons I’ve learned is that adversity is actually the necessity of change. And the one thing about business and what we’re really, really good at

If you’ve been to Momentum Live, you’ve had the pleasure of meeting the wildly wonderful Sensei Victoria Whitfield. And if you haven’t been to Momentum Live…today’s the day to meet this incredible woman – because she (along with Brian Rassi of Enstigate) – will be one of the co-hosts for the upcoming Momentum Live: The CEO Experience taking place in Havre de Grace. What I love about Sensei Victoria is that she’s there to make sure we, as business owners, are always looking after

I have a question for you today: When was the last time you had fun? I’m not talking about hours of non-stop laughs at a comedy club or a night with popcorn and a good rom-com – although it could be those things. But when was the last time you moved your body with a nice walk? Or spent the afternoon playing soccer with your children? Or enjoyed a day out with your significant other doing something you both love? Because
