Winging it!

I have finally found the title of my blog. I've changed it a couple of times, as you might have noticed.

Here's where my new name came from....

Today at a network meeting, we were talking about icebreakers you can use when you walk into a room full of people you don't know. My comment to the group was that everyone in the room feels the same nervousness that you feel. If you can remember that, you will have much less fear. Someone said to me, I can't believe you feel nervous, you talk to everyone! My response was "I'm winging it!" As soon as I said it, I knew. I stopped and grabbed my phone and texted it to myself.

The bottom line is we're all winging it. We don't know what each day is going to bring our way, but we get up and get out there and deal with it.

The Ins and Outs of Networking

I thought I'd talk about networking for those who are just starting out in their networking journey. And maybe, just maybe, someone who's a pro, will learn something or get a new idea. When you start out on your journey of networking, you're not sure what you're going to find. If you're like me, you're a little intimidated by everyone. They all seem so put together, so confident. It feels like everyone knows everyone else and you don't know anyone! You might sit there thinking "What the heck am I doing here?" But guess what? What you're feeling is 100% normal. And guess what else? We all felt the same way when we started networking. Because I'm one of those people who remembers feeling that way, I make it a point to go out of my way to talk to newbies, show them around, introduce them to others, give them networking advice. It's funny because the very first networking group I ever attended is the one that I'm currently the ...

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017
