Thoughts for Success: Opportunity Presents When You Show Up

At the Friday evening reception before our Consultant 2.0 event with Stedman Graham, I was surprised how few Certified Legal Nurse Consultants initially approached Stedman – whether for a photo or to network.

Thoughts for Success: Excess Is a Liability; Needing Less Is an Asset

There’s a famous quote “Nothing exceeds like excess.” At first it’s hard to grasp, but the more you think about it, the more relevant it becomes. Last week I was in a meeting with an attorney and he started to tell me about a wedding reception he’d attended that had shirtless male models wearing overalls walking around shucking fresh oysters for the attendees (Darn I’m upset that I missed that one!) and another that had monogrammed cloth napkins for the guests.

Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Gandhi

Many people I talk to today have concerns about our world and personally feel powerless to solve those concerns. Unchecked, this could easily result in cynicism or pessimism, but that is hardly a way to live out a precious life.

Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Nelson Mandela

I’m getting ready to start our fall seminar season and when I hit the road next week, Christmas will be upon me before I even have a chance to look up. With three quarters of the year behind us, this is the perfect time to reflect on one of my favorite quotes by Nelson Mandela.
