Sharing a quick excerpt from my book, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE NO — the foundation behind my #NAKEDNetworking® #keynote. A mistake some people make is convincing themselves that asking for help, support, or an opportunity somehow makes them look weak. It doesn’t. Be Brave. #career

There’s a first time for everything. Charter fishing w/my son in #St.Petersburg, #FL. What a trip for this city girl. I challenged myself to try something new—and I even caught trout (my son was proud although there were some screeches along the way). #Networking #NakedNetworkng

There’s a moment I 🧡 in my line of work — the quiet calm before I step on stage to present my signature #keynote, #NAKEDNetworking. I take a breath & silently give thanks for a career I genuinely enjoy & for the chance to help people #NetworkSmarter. #careercoach

I used to hate #networking. The thought of walking into a room of strangers felt exhausting, awkward, & paralysis by analysis got me every time. Now I teach people how to #networksmarter to help them learn what I did to push past fear & connect with confidence. DM me for info.

While speaking w/locals at the beach @ charter fishing options, I discovered once lived in #STL too. Encounters like this remind us @ the power of #networking: beyond professional opportunities, it can also build authentic connections valuable for personal reasons too.

Let me say this clearly—If your #careergrowth depends on applying online…you’re already behind. I help professionals navigate the unpublished job market—positioning themselves to be seen, considered, & chosen before opportunities are ever posted. #careerchange #Careercoach #CEO

#Networking has opened some new doors to some wonderful new connections in Tampa — and tonight those connections turned into an unexpected invitation to a masquerade ball. Grateful for the people I’ve met and excited for an evening of mystery, music, and new memories. #Tampa #fl
