Waxing UnLyrical

APRIL 19, 2012

Since making the journey from Australia to New York, I continue to be blown away by the use of social media communication by brands and businesses, and the hyper-connected nature of their communities. This was taken to a whole new level recently during a birthday dinner for my friend at downtown restaurant Lowcountry. What set this experience apart as the greatest social media-friendly dining experience I’ve had?

(Disclosure: Testmasters , a Princeton Review competitor, is a client of mine.). When it comes to entrepreneurs, management experts, professional communicators and other careerist business junkies, the dream of becoming a top brand in the marketplace is near the top of the list. The point of business is to make money, so topping almost all competitors in an industry is a sign of high performance.

Her background is in marketing and creative writing, and she riffs about writing right at her blog, Write Right (so write right, don’t make her use her red pen). She spends the rest of her time writing poetry, drawing, reading, and running.

Well, it’s here. The day. The day I’m back at Waxing UnLyrical (hi!!!). The day I get back to my “real” life… as well as my online one. The day I officially start my new job , after several years of being my own boss. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel a little weird. But I’d also be lying if I said I wasn’t excited, nervous, hopeful, apprenhensive… Those butterflies that should be flitting around April showers and Spring flowers?

Harrison Kratz shared an interesting infographic with me the other day, which I wanted to share with you. It’s called “Women @ Work” and, as you can probably tell, it’s a snapshot of where women stand today in the workplace. It has sound bites from the likes of Arianna Huffington, Sheryl Sandberg, and Sara Blakely (who’s going to admit to owning at least one pair of Spanx, then?).
