Whoops! (Oh, I mean ‘Op is Op, take 2’.)

You know when you have an awesome idea? And then you launch it with a lot of fanfare? And it kind of…backfires? Well, that just happened to me. After launching my 5 free “Get Your English Passport Proof” podcasts (which you can still get if you click here), I still wanted to give something else away […]

Feeling Groovy

As a professional speaker coach, I’ve seen it all.

Recipe for a bad news sandwich

Scene from my inbox: “Buffi, can you check this song we were working on?” “Hi, thanks for your mail. I am coaching until late tonight and out tomorrow morning. However, I can check it for you tomorrow afternoon and give you feedback by the end of the day. Looking forward to hearing it!” “But I’m […]

Don’t let this happen to you…

And we know that purple-haired unicorns always tell the truth. Today I’d like to talk about something I’ve been working on for a while – a true labor […]

Dahlink! I’m baaaaack!!!

How have you been, sweetie? I hope the past 2 weeks have been fabulous for you. They truly were for me. I had some crazy adventures visiting my friends and family in NYC and Chicago, and wow…it felt so good to be back in the good ol ‘ US of A. I had so many […]

Shine!

Hello, sweetie! Thank you so much for letting me slip into your mailbox this morning. It’s such a peaceful place (well, except for the Viagra ads that keep poking me, but I am getting pretty good at ignoring them…). I hope this Monday is treating you well. Mine is super-busy as I’m coaching 20 Rockacademie […]
