K.I.S.S. For those unfamiliar with this acronym, it means Keep It Simple Silly (although some may use Stupid, it’s not my favorite word). It can apply in many places of life, faith, and even business. Email marketing isn’t immune, either. Now, don’t get me wrong. With the proper budget, there are some great things you can do with all ...
I recently had the honor of speaking at the KC Business Alliance group. It is a group of professional men and women who come together each week to learn together and have genuine networking time focused on building relationships, not self-promotion. I always enjoy being around people like them, who are not self-serving but have a desire to see ...
When my now 22-year-old son was about 13 years old, he stopped me one night on the way out of his room after saying goodnight. “Mom?” His soft voice cracked a little in the darkness. “Yeah, buddy?” “What if I fail?” “What do you mean? Eighth grade?” “No. I mean in life. When I grow up. What if I ...
I recently searched for some online articles regarding women's leadership. I found many written by women, and many were quite disappointing. They are not things I would ever want my daughter to study as she learns to become an impactful leader. There were several articles with phrases such as "how to get the upper hand," and "back-door ways to ...
We are still catching up (and recovering!) from our 2022 Summit last week. The feedback was a blessing, and we pray the ripple effect impacts more people than we can ever imagine. Make plans to attend next year. You won't want to miss it, I promise. I look forward to reconnecting with you here next week. Thank you for ...
I was recently reminiscing over the past 25 years of my career path. Looking back, I can see all the curves, valleys, and even mountaintop seasons that have brought me to where God has me today. So many times in my career, I only saw the impossible, and God created a way. Then there were times that I was ...
As a mom of four, three of which are boys, I have always been intentional about raising independent young men who would grow up to be helpful husbands. Much to their chagrin, this involved them doing a lot of cleaning and cooking from a very young age. Yesterday I noticed one of my nonstick pots was heavily scratched up. ...
I am so excited to bring you our first guest blogger, Kristin Herman. It was never my desire to be the only voice in the UB Women blog, but for us to hear from many women, from many professions, and different states or even countries. Launching something new always takes time. And patience. Both of which I often feel short ...
Do you still create things? Do you feel inspired? I was reading an old journal post I wrote back in 2014. It was a memory of my then-seven-year-old daughter, Anabelle, waiting for her carpool ride to school. She had her backpack on over her coat and a small notebook and pen in her hands. It was a notebook with ...
The definition of insanity: Doing the same things over and over but expecting different results. Our office at work shares a bathroom with other companies on the floor so there are multiple stalls and two sinks. The sink on the left is awful. No matter how little or much you turn on the water, you get a shower. It shoots ...
