I’m a digital immigrant. When I started working at Ogilvy & Mather PR in 1983, we used IBM typewriters. I hated when my boss made edits because she wouldn’t stop making edits. Every time that she changed a word or a line, it would cost me hours of time correcting...

Do you have a professional head shot? If not, you need one! A friend of mine is being honored by a non-profit organization this summer and he sent me information about it. The photo on the material was so outdated, it looked like his high school year book photo! I...

I meet with a lot of people. I attend networking events, fund raisers, galas and lots of committee meetings. The other day, I was invited by a business friend to attend the Networking Magazine "David Awards." I had never attended this event before and was amazed at how many people...
