Featured on Friday: #NewSocialLearning by @marciamarcia & @tonybingham
I've been on Facebook since July of 2007. In 2011 I joined the ranks of Goodreads and Pinterest, and in January of 2012, I reluctantly got a Twitter account. The irony of my slow acceptance of social media is that I've now been gainfully employed in the social world...
The Power of Asking for Help
One of the hardest parts about starting a new job is the sheer amount of information that needs to be learned. You ask questions - and a lot of them - just to wrap your head around all the procedures, expected behavior, chains of command, and contingency plans....
Featured on Friday: @bobtiede Great Leaders Ask Questions
I've got a question for you - what was the last great leadership quote you heard? How did it impact your life or work? Would you like to share it in the comments? Bob Tiede is known for asking questions, drawing people out, and helping to spread great leadership...
Q and A with Julie Winkle Giulioni (@Julie_WG): Building Influence Online
Three years ago, my team and I partnered with Julie Winkle Giulioni to launch her first book, Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go. Since that time, I've continued to admire the way Julie shows up online. I asked Julie to take some time to talk about what has worked well...

Do you ever over-think things? I sure do. I've often blamed it on my personality type (INTJ), or the fact that I play devil's advocate a lot (something my sweet husband reminded me of just last night), but if you don't examine every side of an issue or plan, how will...
Do’s and Don’ts of Your Job Search
Let’s face it. Being an adult can be overwhelming. Especially after going to school for more than 15 years. What can you do to prepare for that readjustment post-college? How can you make it as stress free as possible? What can you do to secure a job after you finally...
Scary + Lonely = On the Right Track
This week marks the launch of Whitney Johnson's latest book, Disrupt Yourself. I am especially invested in this book because Whitney Johnson has been an important friend and mentor in my life. When Jesse Lyn Stoner introduced us in late 2011, I had no idea that my...
Tips for Doing Battle with Resistance and Busyness
One of the best parts of working for Weaving Influence is being surrounded by some of the best and deepest thinkers in leadership today. I’m regularly inspired by our clients to try new things, develop new ways of thinking, and keep learning. I’m often amazed at how...

Turning Service Around (And a Giveaway!)
Everyone reading this probably has several stories of good and bad experiences with restaurants. I recently spent fifteen minutes parked, waiting for my "drive-through" food. Delays and mistakes happen, but sometimes it feels as though the staff feels no urgency to...
Featured on Friday: #iamthankful
You'll forgive me if I make this Featured on Friday post a little bit personal, won't you? Sometimes, life really does hand you lemons. It hasn't exactly been a banner week for the Weaving Influence team, and more than once, someone from the team has asked if it's...
Featured on Friday: Your Weekend #MustReads!
Last week my husband and I enjoyed a few days away in one of our favorite cities, Chicago, and then closed out our road trip by witnessing the wedding of a friend. All in all, a lovely time away in a season of the year that I love the most - fall. But the enjoyment of...
