Stop Shoulding on Yourself
By Lisa Martin, The Working Mother's Coach
Have you ever counted how many times a day you say the word should? For most people I know should is one of the most commonly used words in their vocabulary. I should call so-and-so. I really should go to the gym. I should take some more courses. I should redecorate my living room. Shoulds show up all the time. And most of us aren't even aware that they are there.
How can that be? When shoulds have been ruling your life for years they are almost invisible. Like the electricity that runs your home, shoulds can power your life.

Don't Let Fear Keep You Frozen
By Jane Herman
Of all the things that keep people stuck in dead-end jobs and unsatisfying careers fear is the most common and the most difficult to overcome without the proper "tools." Without these tools you can find yourself frozen - unable to pick a direction, plot a course, or take action. When you "own" these tools your fear will recede into the background and you will be able to move through it, around it, and in spite of it.

BlogHer Business Conference '07 New York, NY March 22-23, 2007 Register Now!
Your company might not need a blog, podcast, vlog or wiki. Or such social media tools might be exactly what you need. How do you decide? How do you incorporate a social media program into your business strategy and then identify the best people to execute?
It's time to make informed decisions: about how to use social media tools, and about how to get your company to interact with the customers, partners and employees who are already part of the social media world.
BlogHer Business '07 will strip away the hype and answer questions that businesses are still asking. Join industry leaders and social media gurus, including Marissa Mayer (Google), Lynne D. Johnson (FastCompany.com), Barb Dybwad (Engadget), Cyn Skyberg (Second Life), Nicki Dugan (Yahoo!) and others on March 22/23 for this fresh look at social media and what it can do for your company.

Upcoming Network Events:
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
