I love this first picture of you even though it was a few years before we met. Happy Birthday to Skyler Davis, the man with the plan. We were babies when we got together and I’ve seen you grow and learn and challenge yourself so much in the last 14 years. I hope your next year around the sun, and your last year in your 30’s, is kind, empowering, and fufilling!

I love you. Happy 39th.

This is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall during a conversation about planning, cancelling, pivoting, changing, adapting, and rebuilding a reputable SUMMIT and business in 2020 and all the honest feelings and learning moments that came with it.
.
@chrisducker joined me for a very honest and REAL conversation about all of the secrets behind planning the UK’s leading and most well-known entrepreneur event, The Youpreneur Summit, and then all of the challenges that 2020 brought to the table and how he and his team faced them one by one for both the event and the business.
.
Thursday I relaunched The Real Personal Branding podcast with this 2-part episode with Chris Ducker.
.
The first episode was recorded in the Spring when we thought that there would still be a conference in the Fall.
.
The second episode was recorded in the Fall, when everything had to change gears, and Chris walked me through every gritty detail.
.
I personally am a better business owner after these conversations with Chris. As I said to him in a DM the other day, he is kind and generous to his community and that is something I will always spread the word about. It sticks out to me and it was one of the reasons Chris was able to make the pivots he was.
.
Thanks again for these brilliant interviews.
When you listen, let Chris and I know what you think! Link in bio!

I voted for the greater good, and for future generations after mine and before mine. For our youth, like my niece and nephew. I voted for friends who have experienced great harm beyond the scope of my life as I know it. Within my scope or reference, I voted for women, for the small business owner, and for dignity.✌️🥃

...and now at home I vote for this glass of whiskey.

I was looking through old photos last night. I too

I was looking through old photos last night. I took this selfie in the weird lighting of one of my hotel rooms before going to capture some content for a conference and some of the keynote speakers in Santa Rosa California in January.
.
I miss flying out for fun projects like this and I’m hoping and praying that the US can get some of this under control so we can get back to these things—I love nothing better than capturing behind the scenes stuff that happens for some of my top-tier ticket clients during an event or special launch.
.
That being said, there are plenty of ways that those same clients can produce great quality behind-the-scenes content, build their influence, and keep impacting their communities from home, and since March—that’s what we’ve been working creatively on together. We are seeing the impactful ness of our results come back tenfold.
.
I’ve continually asked myself this year, how can I be impactful to those who need me most? I’ve banged my proverbial head against the wall so many times asking myself if I’ve done enough or why I couldn’t have done more.
.
But for now you’ll find me working closely with local businesses, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs behind the scenes.... as much as I possibly can while we get through this together.
.
If you’re wondering if you should just give up... don’t. Please keep hanging on! Please please!

I felt like I was in a Wes Anderson movie when I stepped into this cabin kitchen that sat right above Lake Michigan.

“What if we stopped celebrating being busy as a measurement of importance? What if instead we celebrated how much time we had spent listening, pondering, meditating, and enjoying time with the most important people in our lives?”
.
Greg McKeown, Essentialism
.
On this whole small, isolated trip, full of amazing quality time, I couldn’t keep my eyes open and this has happened before on a trip.
.
When I have the ability to turn work off and just be in the moment, my brain goes with it and my body catches up and realizes how tired I am.
.
I’ve been learning to create space this year. Some weeks felt like I couldn’t catch my breath and other weeks I could see clear steps of improvement.
.
Of course I know there will be more busy weeks but I’m intentionally working to make space mentally and physically for the life I want to ideally live.
.
That means saying no to some things and saying yes to others. That means searching for what fulfills me and also learning where my time is well spent. That means focusing on the relationships in my life and cherishing them and being present.
.
How do you make space? Really yes, you! I’m so inspired by your life and methods.
.
P.s. If you catch this in the next 24 hours, you can see what I’ve intentionally done in my story.

“I just figured out how to use Instagram, now I have to figure out Reels and IGTV, and how are they different from IG Live or Stories?”

Here are a few short answers to this exasperation I hear a lot.

“As a child I assumed that when I reached adulthood, I would have grown-up thoughts.” — David Sedaris

Such a relatable quote from one of my fav authors.

I had some trouble thinking about celebrating or g

I had some trouble thinking about celebrating or goal setting yesterday. That is something I typically do on my birthday but this year felt a little different, it reminded me we have to live in the moment and not count on the future being consistent.

Instead I put together a list of things I’ve learned in the last 33 years, not all this year, but things I’ve been thinking about and that have impacted my life in one way or another. Read it, or don’t, it was helpful to me to write it either way. ♥️

✨33 things I’ve learned in 33 Years ✨

1. I thought spiders were going to be a much bigger and more real concern in my life as a child.

2. My life is a reflection of little choices I make every day that compound over time and I’m responsible.

3. Having some of the most consistent friends since grade school is something that I know I’m privileged to have and I cherish. When I say I have best friends I mean it. They’re my family.

4. I still wish characters in books from my childhood were real and could give me advice and be real friends haha. I can’t be the only one 🤓.

5. Being sensitive is not a bad thing and being emotional is not a burden. As a kid and young adult I thought this was a problem until I realized it’s what makes me, me. Being sensitive and emotional is a superpower that has opened many doors and created wonderful real relationships. I want every little sensitive girl or boy to know that.

6. I still cannot watch a movie without falling asleep but cannot sleep all night. Haha

7. Teachers deserve more respect and money for the impact they make in people’s lives.

8. I always get the chills/goosebumps often when you tell me personal stories about yourself or life.

9. Bras and tampons can go to hell.

10. You can just meet someone and feel like you’ve been friends for 20 years and that is something to hold onto... it means something even though I don’t know what.

11. It’s okay to change your mind after learning new information or after opening your mind to new ideas. Acknowledging you were wrong about something is powerful and hard and worth it. It’s okay to do the right thing even when you feel like you’re alone.

Continued in the comments...

Thank you to everyone who has reached out already

Thank you to everyone who has reached out already for my birthday and I’ve only been up an hour. ☕️
I feel so very loved during a time when I expect nothing, I never do but even less so with how weird this year has been! I have a little more light around what I’ve been thinking about (this week) coming later today, but thank you thank you! I love you. 😘

Ladey Adey, the founder of World Online Networking

Ladey Adey, the founder of World Online Networking Day, and is known as one of the UK’s most experienced networkers, wrote a very resourceful book during the pandemic and asked me to be a featured contributor. I’ll be signing autographs all week 😎
.
Really though — In the book she unlocks critical secrets to guide your business forward using online networking.
.
And in addition to the featured contributors, she interviewed over 100 entrepreneurs to gather the most and best information on how we will move forward online.
.
Professor Gary Bosworth of the Newcastle Business School says “This book should be an essential resource for all business school libraries.”
.
I was so grateful you asked me to contribute Ladey! Thank you so much for your wonderful enthusiasm and spirit!

It’s so clear to me how many people are in pain

It’s so clear to me how many people are in pain this year, and I’m feeling it all. I’ve experienced pain and dismantling of things as I know them this year, myself, although I know some have experienced what I have 100-fold. I caught myself on this quote by @jameswedmore.
.
Between family, close friends, entrepreneurs I work with, small businesses in my area, I see people struggling but in the struggle I see them overcoming so many things, mentally/physically/emotionally/subconsciously, even when they don’t know that’s what they’re doing yet. I still see the pain, it’s still sad.
.
Later we will talk about this time in history with younger folx. It’s been traumatic.
.
What I’m learning is that severity is hitting people at different times. Some weeks I’m fine, ready to go, a perfect Oracle, visionary, and friend for others and other weeks I have to hoist myself out of over-thinking-anxiety-rabbit-holes-of-darkness. Really.
.
And from talking to businesses, friends and family, they’re going through these emotional highs and lows too.
.
I’m finding hope in people setting the foundation for joy, and a better life for humanity, in standing up for others, looking outside themselves, extending hands, thinking of the larger picture. I’m craving unity more than ever. Taking responsibility more, blaming less.
.
I’m finding more and more that it’s not naive optimism inside me. I’m finding the confidence in realizing that I’m level-headed and my sensitivity to everyone’s energy is actually my super power.
.
I’m realizing all the times I’ve been told in my life I’m thinking with my heart instead of my brain—- that I’m glad I didn’t listen.
.
It’s brought me here. And I’m not going anywhere. I’m not anywhere near overcoming all of my shortcomings, but just know that I’m always going to fight for you, even while you’re struggling to overcome all of the challenges you’re facing.
.
Please hold on with me!
