Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #7: Real networking

The main difference, I think, between LinkedIn and Facebook–besides Facebook being more fun, and having more unfortunate photos–is that while on Facebook, if you want to have, say, a thousand “friends”…hey knock yourself out. Especially when a good third of those ‘friends’ are just pretty girls who wouldn’t even cross the street to have coffee…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #6: Show your passion!

It seems that within the last two years or so, LinkedIn went from being this weird little site that no one quite knew what to do with, to a powerhouse networking device. I personally love the way LinkedIn demonstrates everyone’s connection to everyone else. It gives the people, who really understand the art of networking, tremendous opportunity…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #5: You better work!

Let’s just take a moment to discuss presentation…or, given some of the walking horror-stories I have unfortunately been witness to, lack thereof. When you go on an interview, or if you’re networking, you’re on display from the moment you arrive. So, from the time you enter the location, until the time you have safely left,…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #4: Don’t cheat yourself

Like a great many people, I am ambivalent about success. It probably has something to do with not being 26 anymore: you want something big, but you know how hard life can be and you worry about failure. You want something important…but do you really want it? My latest play for example. There was a period…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #3: Keep it up!

I know, I know: some of you are rolling your eyes at the obvious nature of this “hint,” right? But… is it really obvious? I would argue that given the nature of our microwaveable, drive-through zeitgeist nowadays, a lot of people seem to have missed the point on how success is created. And by “success” I don’t…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #2: Just Get Started

I’m going to title this second hint, “Just get started,” since taking action, as opposed to just talking about taking action, is huge. It can and will change your life…if you allow it to do so by taking action. People truly are creatures of habit. And habits can be good or bad, but usually a little…

Channukah Hints, Jewrican Factoids #1

So, sundown will mark the first night of Channukah, and while I’m a pretty bad Jew, I’m a pretty hawt Jewrican. I thought I’d take the opportunity to use the eight nights of Channukah to give out at least one good coaching hint. And maybe share a factoid about growing up Jewrican. (Might as well…

Being on-message, good & bad

I’ve been spending a lot of time, recently, with new clients, helping them design their Facebook fan and business pages. (Someone reading this, just snorted and thought, “Thank god, you’re not wasting your Wellesley education, right? Get a real job, hippie!”) And yet, it is a real job: it’s called, ‘branding,’ boys and girls. We…
