		<description><![CDATA[A voice is incredibly powerful.   Within each of us we have the power to give a voice to ourselves and to the things that impact us positively and negatively.    Words, thoughts, emotions, passion – it’s all part of a voice.    Positive…negative if you give something a voice, it will be heard.   A situation doesn’t have to be immediate or real time to be granted a voice but what I see time and time again a voice being granted to something undeserving. The power of a voice is really within you.  So is the power of granting a voice to things that fuel or drain you.    Choose what you give a voice wisely.  Not wisely in the greater good sense but rather wise for you.  Because that is the only thing you control &#8211; you.  What is right for you, right now?  We only ever live in the RIGHT NOW after all. Some trigger points include…any negative thoughts…thinking in  or drifting to what if’s, what then’s, what will’s, what would’s&#8230;.   Maybe wondering why? How come? What else?  What on earth could be next? Giving negative things a voice takes up space, time, your mind  and takes away from very own voice…even for a moment. My challenge to you, is to ask yourself..  Is it worth it?   What would happen if every single time something negative, something draining, something that takes the space of something positive was not given the voice and instead, that voice was given to YOU. Let’s say you replaced every time you were triggered to give a voice to something negative you make the choice to grant the voice to something positive.  Caution – this is powerful stuff.  Things like this may happen Your voice would be heard. Your love would be felt. The true you would be seen. Your words would get written Your song would be sung. Your “next big thing” would see the light of day. Your time would be freed. AND That draining situation, would get a little lighter and fade. The hater would be silenced. Your precious emotions would be spared, preserved..protected even. Your stress…eased. Your sleep…peaceful. Your mind…focused. Your life…back…on…track…or at least pointed in the right direction. Yes its extreme….  But it’s extremely powerful.  It is all right to indulge in a moment…and it’s healthy to feel a sting, apprehension, or loss.   However, when the moment takes over after you have taken your time…it’s time to reclaim your voice…and return it to it’s rightful owner…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very excited to be working with my co-host again, Delaney Turner, social media advocate  and enablement lead.  His role is to help employees develop &#8220;social media eminence&#8221;   through content, comments, listening and shares. Hot Biz Topics in this episode: I was really touched by Jeff Bliss&#8217; stand (warning colorful language) on receiving quality education for him as a student and his entire generation this week.  His video has gone viral and really calls to attention the need for 1) great teachers who REACH students to TEACH them but also 2) complacency and how it has no place in our day to day lives. We even touch on doing what you love for a living and mentioned some great teachers we&#8217;ve had and how they made a difference. Tune in at 9:45.  ME ME ME Millennial Generation!  Are they narcissistic, entitled, self absorbed or misunderstood?  We talk about those whippersnappers, advertising to young people and the high level of sophistication that we can&#8217;t discount of this generation as marketers and business owners. Tune in at 16:35! This RANT is one that totally pushed my buttons!  It&#8217;s not about targeting your perfect fit customer and making products for a specific type of consumer &#8211; where my buttons were pushed is about perpetuating a stereotype and as a business leader and generalizing a huge demographic as people that he believes and has stated &#8220;don&#8217;t and can&#8217;t belong&#8221; and making people feel less than who they are. Tune in to hear our thoughts on Abercrombie &#38; Fitch&#8217;s Mike Jeffries and how he could solve this #Fail. Find out more at 22:54! LISTEN IN On Demand! Next Episode – I‘ll be talking to Julia Rosien, Chief Idea Officer at SocialNorth, Co-Founder of Canada&#8217;s 140 Conference &#38; one of the most influential women in social media! Do you have a teacher that made a difference in your life?  A teacher who could REACH and TEACH? What are your thoughts about the ME ME ME Millennial Generation?  Entitled or Enlightened? What is your opinion on the Abercrombie &#38; Fitch approach to targeting only &#8220;HOT&#8221; customers and saying others &#8220;don&#8217;t belong&#8221;?]]></description>

I got pretty passionate about Sheryl Sandberg&#8217;s book Lean In today.  My opinion may surprise you! Hot Biz Topics in this episode: Coca Cola finally embarks on a purely digital marketing campaign with unique marketing experiences, 6 domains and giveaways geared at the teen audience consuming dat on their mobile devices &#8211; say AHH, AHHH, AHHHH.  Listen in at the 5:57 mark.  Are they late to the party?  Plus a little look into my stint as indie record label owner. Anil and I had a spirited discussion while we talked about the book Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook!  Listen in to some really great perspectives on the book, stereotypes and the books target audience.  Is it simply a book about getting a backbone? Tune in at 15:02.  I never lost a co-host yet&#8230;.lost Anil at 21:34 Rescued him at 21:55 &#8211; was it something I said?  The spirited discussion continues on Lean In and people diminishing their awesome. Ever attend a presentation that made you want to jump off a cliff, or literally make you fall asleep?  We had a fabulous RANT  (right at the 32.27 mark) about the common mistakes we see and hear when people create and deliver presentations and Anil gives some insight based on his expertise in coaching leaders on how to create and deliver REMARKABLE presentations! LISTEN IN! Next Episode – I&#8216;ll be talking to Fatma Zaidi, Co-Founder of Women at the Ritz! Have you read Lean in? What were your thoughts? What is your biggest challenge in presenting or speaking? What are your thoughts about Coca Cola targeting teens and young adults with their latest campaign?

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I was so honored to be a part of an amazing event for business owners with the Women in Biz Network.   I’ve had the opportunity to speak at a number of their events and have seen this organization grow each and every year. This conference was very special.  Not only was I giving a talk on strategies to leverage business ideas for profit, but my company also welcomed the attendees to our booth for some additional business support! Let’s face it, for me as a business owner this is a business-building event.  I get to help women build their businesses through my words.  My company can help build businesses with a hands-on approach through our actions.    But there is a deeper level to this conference than networking, making the perfect offer and generating some serious interest in my company and what we have to offer.  Something I believe is actually far more valuable. It’s all about: Connecting with like minded business women, some of whom who have “been there, done that”, some are just starting, some are ready for the next step in growing their business and some have become very dear friends of mine.  All of these amazing women I have come to respect and admire. From the inspirational keynote by Danielle Laporte, a woman who I greatly respect and consider a mentor and muse (as I’m sure many of you do also) to the panelists and speakers who generously shared concrete, practical,  get it done business strategies to Jessica Holmes who not only made us laugh, but made us think about who we are and inspire us to do and continue to do great things. The conference theme was GO For It!  I saw so many women business owners take control and go for it with their businesses that day and ever since!  We can’t go it alone, it IS indeed all about connection. Connection with like minds Connection with people who complement who we are and what we do Connection with our competition Connection with ourselves Connection with each other “If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.” I can’t wait to see you all in Vancouver in the fall at the next Women in Biz Network conference!  Remember to genuinely connect with everyone you met this past week.   At minimum, you’ve made a business connection and expanded your network and circle of influence.  At maximum you’ve made deep business and personal connections that will benefit and have a positive impact on your business and your life. As I mentioned in my talk, build and keep the momentum going! If you haven’t followed up with your contacts from the conference, reach out to them now.  If we didn’t connect, let’s make sure that happens! What was YOUR greatest memory &#38; takeaway from the Women in Biz  Go For It conference?  Leave your thoughts in the comments below! Wishing you the best success! Anastasia p.s. Many Many thanks ...]]></description>
