Featured on Friday: “Best of” Links!
Whatever happened to the "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer"? Crazy, yes, but lazy and hazy, not so much! With 19 book launches on the schedule this year (so far), we haven't experienced our normal summer slow-down, and there's always another task on the to do list...
The Flaw of Relationship Building on Social Platforms
Building online influence through amassing connections on social media platforms (alone) is a flawed plan. I've often compared relating to people on social media platforms to meeting friends in a coffee shop or bar. When you go to a coffee shop, you can meet someone...

One of the things that I love about our team of Buzz Builders is the diversity of backgrounds, jobs, and even physical locations. Whether they are in Kenya, Canada, England, Australia, or the United States, each one brings a fresh perspective and excitement to our...
6 Tips for an Unforgettable Book Launch Party
Although my team and I have launched over 50 books, I've attended very few book launch parties. This is partly because we serve busy people all around the country, and very few take the time to plan and enjoy a party for their books. I recently had the pleasure of...
Featured on Friday: The #GeniusofOpposites Author @JennKahnweiler
Last month, several Weaving Influence "gatherings" took place in West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida while Becky and her family were on their southern road trip. Since I live "just across the mountain" in Tennessee, I joined the North Carolina gang and...
Featured on Friday: Big News @FortyOver40
Normally I open these posts with a little bit of chit-chat about my week, or something the team is doing, but this week the news is too big to hold! Earlier this week the Forty Over 40 list came out, and not only did our very own Becky Robinson make the list this...
Getting Back in the Game
I first met Becky in an Indianapolis, Indiana café sometime in early 2012 at the suggestion of my aunt, author and consultant Jesse Lyn Stoner, a friend of Becky’s. I was in my last year of college and, like many millennial grads who studied liberal arts, totally...
Featured on Friday: The Out of Office Edition
It's a long weekend for many of us at Weaving Influence, which means "Out of Office" auto-responses are going up and we're dusting off our grills and gearing up for fireworks and family time. Or if you're an introvert, like me, perhaps you're looking forward to a...
Why You MUST Stop Creating New Content
Whenever I consult with clients, I share a lot of helpful, wise advice that I would do well to listen to and implement myself. Top on the list is the importance of repurposing content. The clients we work with have decades of experience; most have been writing...
Featured on Friday: #AnatomyOfPeace Author @Arbinger
Summer is officially here, and my stack of books to read is quickly growing, with no relaxing beach chair in sight! However, before I began collecting leisure books, I had the opportunity to read through the revised and updated edition of The Anatomy of Peace by The...
Truths From The Wrong Trail
My town, Tallahassee, is trail-rich for runners. On a recent evening, a group of us planned to preview a trail that would be used for an upcoming race. We met at a specified gate, which was closed behind us, and ran about a mile to the entrance of the trail. From that...
Notes from the #witour: Work-Life Fit
We drove over 1400 miles through 8 states, over 5 days, for a combined total of over 26 hours of road time to meet 10 team members and 3 clients. The #witour. Along the way, we fit in a visit with an old friend I hadn't seen in 15 years, a scenic hike, a tour of two...
