Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History.*

“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” *

A few ideas on women behaving badly:

  • Use your outside voice inside
  • Take the last serving
  • BE the unexpected
  • Say what you are really thinking
  • Let yourself be a bad mother for a day, or an hour, or a minute
  • Rock the boat!
  • Be shrill, be downright hysterical
  • Take the credit, take ALL of the credit, for a job well done
  • Think about yourself for a change

So GO AHEAD, make a little history today and tell us about it below.

What I Learned at Harvard Business School

Last spring I took a 3-week crash course in business at Harvard.

  • I learned that if I had gone to business school, I probably never would have gone into business.
  • I learned a few tricks, a new way to look at the numbers.
  • I came away with newfound appreciation for the skills of a really gifted professor.

But mostly I learned that business for profit is hard work, but BUSINESS WITH A PURPOSE CAN BE TRANSFORMATIVE.

STRENGTH

For me, strength starts with my body, and as my body grows stronger and more competent, it fuels a strength in my spirit. It fuels the strength to

Say no and mean it.

Say yes and mean it.

Take a risk and fail.

Take a risk and succeed.

It fuels the strength to quit.

And, begin again.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

fear_post1These days, I find that I have nothing to fear but the 24/7 barrage of “news.”  Or more accurately, the tales of fear, swine flu, bird flu, killer bees, kidnappers, mass murderers that masquerade as news.  But the fact is that we’ve never in the history of humans been safer or healthier than we are right now.  Yet “the news” constantly tries to convince us otherwise.  For me the fix has been magically simple: tune out and turn off all that “news.”

All of a sudden I feel a lot safer.  I figure if something really newsworthy happens, it’ll find me.  In the meantime I can try to focus on the things I can control like eating and sleeping well, buckling up myself and my kids, getting some exercise and connecting with friends and family.

I feel better just thinking about it.
