I’ve always found it difficult to find clothes that look both professional yet also stylish.   In my business as a designer, I can dress more casually and creatively, however I’m always looking for stylish work clothes for those times I have to look extra professional.   I found some cute pieces that are sophisticated and on trend, but are still very professional looking.

Have you purchased a copy of Lean In?  Mine is on the way.  The book - and its messages - is already causing a stir.  The backlash?  In a nutshell, so-called normal women (not billionaires) are asking Sandberg not to speak for them.  And, women are still blaming men for holding them back.

I think these women are wrong.  Take a step back.  Think of it differently, please.

When returning to work, we may select jobs based on location and/or flexibility.  We may pursue a certain industry or choose to work with someone we know.  But what about seeking a job you LOVE?

Yikes!  Back at work, juggline working and the kids and NOW your employer wants you to manage people.  As a FT working mom, you MUST have the skills right?

As a working mother, kid’s school holidays can potentially cause us much stress.  Not that we don’t want to have our little ones home with us, but if we have to work during their time off (unless we’ve planned a fantastic family vacation!!), we need something for kids to do.  The good news is, there are more and more camps offered throughout the school year now instead of just summer time.  And what’s great about these camps is that their main goal is to pro

One thing that is certain in our lives is change.  Whether we want the change or not it happens. Sometimes we instigate the change and sometimes it happens despite our strongest resistance to it.

I had a good reminder this week as to how easy it is for me to undervalue myself.  Someone gave me a compliment on a task I did and I responded with ‘Thanks; it was nothing’.  As soon as I said it, I thought there I go again!

Why Do I undermine myself?
