What do you think?

November 30, 2008

From explaining to potential clients the benefits of doing business with us to writing newsletters and from creating marketing campaigns to internal communication, my specialty is helping people understand. As an editor and writer for the last three years for kontakt magazine, I wore a variety [...]

What would you give up?

November 30, 2008

I’m training for my very first half marathon (PF Chang’s) here in Phoenix in mid January. Now that I’m up to 4.5 miles at 9:15 per, I figured it was time to do a little more than just lift and run. It’s time to adjust my diet. This means getting rid of what’s bad for [...]

Christmas Tree

November 28, 2008

Today is the day my family brings home our Christmas tree. Do they go to a lot? No. Do they have a plastic tree? No. They drive 2+ hours into the mountains, cut one down and bring it home, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation style. For reasons unknown, I’ve never made this trek in the wilderness, [...]

In an age where everything is public, we now have the ability to make our thoughts known to everyone. Publish a picture, write a blog or tweet something negative, rest assured everyone will read it. As part of an interview, I was asked if I thought it was okay to be critical of my current [...]

More douchebaggery on Twitter…

November 22, 2008

Deal with it. -stop telling us random stuff that your mom wouldn’t even care about. No one cares what you are thinking about on the road you [...]

Letter to Pearson CEO #3

November 20, 2008

Third time’s a charm. I took a different approach to this email. Instead of emailing it directly to our International CEO, I included our North American CEO and all the Executive Vice-Presidents that I knew about. It worked. I’ve managed to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the Executive VP of Marketing for the first week [...]

Plea to Twitter people

November 19, 2008

Please stop taking Twitter literally. We don’t need to know exactly what you’re doing. We don’t care what you had for breakfast. We don’t care where you’re at on your to do list. We care about what you think, what you emote, and what your opinion is. We care about cool links. We care about [...]
