Last week I was honored to give a Masterclass about my career called ‘How To Break The Rules’ at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. I was talking to new graduates, who were about to take over the music industry (and the rest of the world) in a few short weeks. They had tons of questions and […]
Happy Monday! Well, it happened again. And again. WHY is this happening all the time? Because people don’t know the rules until they break them. And then – it’s too late! I heard a client say she got an unusual reaction from one of her British counterparts recently. They were in a meeting and when […]
Oh, I don’t know where to start. This week and the last have been an absolute blur. This is what I remember… I guess it had something to do with…COVFEFE…? Last week, all was well. I was working in Berlin, hanging with my friends, eating fabulous avocado toast at Cafe Oliv while wearing my new favorite […]
To me, communication is like painting. If you use the same colors over and over again, it gets pretty boring. Boring for you, and boring for your readers or listeners. (Unless you’re Mondrian. He did pretty well with the same colors. If you’re not Mondrian, keep reading!) Today, people’s attention span is so decimated. We […]
Nothing. That’s what you should do. And that’s exactly what I told the top CEO who called me last week. This is the lowdown of what happened. He said he was tired of his story. He said he had told it so many times it was boring. He said he wanted to stop sharing his […]
Happy Monday, my darling! I was so excited to talk to 70 female entrepreneurs at the Harper’s Bazaar Network Academy launch last week at the Pulitzer Hotel. It was a gorgeous location (if you get a chance to sit in their garden- DO!) filled with incredibly inspiring women, and don’t even get me started on […]
A very happy Monday(s) to you indeed! I hope this finds you well. I had a wonderful time in Paris and I hit the ground running- can’t keep my sweet clients waiting for too long! (Oh, and I filmed a mini-lesson while I was away – click here in case you missed it.) I’ve been […]
I saw this video floating around recently and it really resonated with me. (Watch it, it’s only 84 seconds. Goes by so fast it feels like 71 seconds.) I love Gary’s passion, how not a shit is given about swearing, and how he lives and works with a sense of urgency. I see that a lot in […]
Happy Second Day Of Easter, for those of you celebrating. And for those of you who aren’t, happy Monday! I love living in a country where Easter has 2 days. We always get the Monday off. I so enjoy Mondays, though! (If you hate Mondays, that usually means that you hate your job. Mondays are […]
It happened again. I saw another post on Twitter that said ‘Hey, if you’ve got nothing to do tonight, come out and see our show!” This makes me mad. And then it makes me sad. I’m mad because of what they’re saying. And I’m sad because of why they’re saying it. If you are asking […]
