“A Business Coach’s Top Ten Tactics for Marketing Professional Services”

Self-Help: How a Ph.D. and Three-Pin Juggling Can Save Your Life
For some non-apparent (at least to me) reason, I get a lot of emails of the what-should-I-do-with-my-life sort.

I usally beg off politely, pointing out the impossibility of answering the question, even when you know the person well.

Breakdown Breakthrough
Overcoming the 12 hidden crises of working women Are you a professional woman longing for a radical change? You are not alone. According to my research—a yearlong national study in partnership with the Esteemed Woman Foundation—seven out of 10 women today, particularly those in their middle years, say they are facing a major turning point in their professional lives.

Set Your Mind to it
Many reach a point in their lives where they want to move on from their current careers and venture onto a road never taken before. The thought of bringing your true passion into your professional life can be exciting and this dream is definitely in arms reach if you can focus. The few ways to start your trek into the career of owning your own business are not as hard as you may think.

Down with Networking!
Networking is probably one of the toughest and most important aspects of the job search..not to mention our careers and overall professional development. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most hated, misunderstood and, consequently, poorly practiced areas in our careers, too, which is probably why many of us dread networking altogether. Still, like it or not, we simply must do it. It’s too difficult to land a job, an internship, or a new client today without networking.
Franchising: The 3 Best Passive Opportunities
Many of the candidates that I assist as a franchise consultant are looking for a complete overhaul in their professional careers. Some hate their jobs, while others feel they’re not compensated at the same level of their performance or for their true worth to the company. Or maybe they’re simply not living their passion.

Now, more than ever, it is a necessity, not an option. But because time is truly a precious commodity for many professional women, networking, unfortunately, has often been put on the back burner. The busier the woman, the more networking has lagged behind in priorities. Professional women have missed tremendous opportunities to grow their careers exponentially, and can no longer afford to neglect this critical, strategic career builder.
