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...

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...
Finding the Right Words
I have always loved language. From a young age, I related to the world—and to myself—primarily through words. Whether that meant cuddling up for hours at a time with one of the many Little House on the Prairie Books or, as I grew older, sneaking out of bed to write in...

Did you get to enjoy a long weekend where you live? When the team (virtual and local) got back together on Tuesday, we all compared stories from our three days away. Some dealt with unexpected health issues, some found projects to work on around the house and yard, a...
