Navigating the Venture Capital World - Nov 04,2011 | VC is indeed a complex topic. Many entrepreneurs with a greta idea dream of the day a VC firm hands them that $1 million investment check to get their business rolling on all cylinders.

I'm a Person, Not an Application - Aug 26,2011 | The job search can be a frustrating experience no matter where you are in your career. Oftentimes, job-seekers can feel like, to recruiters, they are nothing more than just another application. In this unstable economy, silence from a company is big slap in the face.

Creating Opportunities, Not Waiting on Them - Feb 18,2011 | Over the last few weeks I've been on a tear about the job market, people's reactions to it, and how there needs to be solutions, not bitch sessions or pity parties. We, the people, need to take responsibility for our own destinies. We cannot wait for big business or the government (Democrat, Republican or otherwise) to solve the job market situation. It's going to take innovation on the part of small, emerging businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as individuals who are creative, innovative and fired up to make things happen. We are not guaranteed one job or career for our entire lifetime, nor should we want that. People are angry, and I get that. But let's channel that energy into some healthy dialog and talk about some ways we can be part of the solution. Join me and my guests as we discuss how to turn the job market around.

My guests and I will discuss things that candidates need to know when working with a recruiter, what expectations they should have, what candidates need to do on their part, and how recruiters should manage the recruiting and hiring process to ensure the candidates are acknowledged and accounted for and keep the company's employment brand in tact.

Making the Most of Women’s Networks - Feb 12,2010 | Women's Networks are a great thing. But we often feel compelled to join EVERY one that happens across our path. Sometimes it's out of obligation, sometimes it's because we know the people who organize them, sometimes it's because we just want to be a part of as many of these things as time allows. But how do we know which ones are of value to us? What makes us want to join a "network" to begin with? We often set these high expectations of what we think a network should do for us, then get disappointed when they fail to live up to what we thought they should. But it's a two way street. You can't join something in name only just to lurk and observe. You can't be part of something and never contribute. You can't find value in something you joined not understanding the mission, values and agenda of. You need to thoroughly investigate each network before making that decision to join. Then you have to make a commitment to be INVOLVED. We’ll be talking about the most effective ways to use women’s networks, including social networks, how to build lasting relationships, how to contribute and get value from them, issues that should be discussed, level of commitment to networks, and how to be discerning in choosing networks that are mutually beneficial. We'll also discuss stepping out of the "Women Only" fold to expand your reach, knowledge and influence. | 2/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Know Your Worth, Understand Your Value (Rescheduled for 1/29/10) - Jan 29,2010 | Stop settling and expecting less than you deserve. When you devalue yourself, others will devalue you even more. It's often hard for women to not only ask for what they're worth, but also to believe in it. Coming from a recruiting background, compensation has always been a hot button with me. Companies will always try to get the best talent for cheaper rates. But it's up to YOU to assign a value to what you do and ask for it. We'll discuss how women can ask for and get what they deserve whether running a business or working for someone else. Remember, you discount yourself, and others won't value what you bring to the table. Be sure to tune in to this show. | 1/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

It is human nature to want to complain when things don't exactly go our way. But what is unacceptable, is assigning the blame to other people or circumstances. Given the devastation going on in Haiti and in other parts of the world, it's time to look inward and find the answers we need to heal ourselves, so we can move on to a happier life.

Networking Not Working for You? - Jan 04,2010 | Happy New Year! Might as well start the New Year off right. If we're really looking to upgrade in 2010, let's start off by networking the right way. I have a saying. "If networking isn't working for you you're probably doing it WRONG". I am who I am today because of the power of networking and leveraging my solid relationships. Not everyone is naturally charismatic and outgoing, and for some networking is extremely hard. But ANYONE can learn to network effectively if they learn how to leverage the power of relationships. Whether you're networking online through social networking or in a live environment or through a specialized network or association, you must learn the basic principles of networking in order to make it work for you. The first and most important principle is ENGAGEMENT. Join me and my guests as we give you this crash course in Networking Mastery. | 1/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Living in Truth & Authenticity - Dec 28,2009 | This is the last show of 2009, of the decade. What better way to go out than by going out with a bang! There are more than a few things on my mind as we close out 2009. You absolutely must tune in as I give the rundown of my opinions and views about politics, business strategies, career growth, networking, social media, race relations, the economy, the President, so called "gurus" & experts, living authentically, being true and real, personal responsibility, community responsibility, the choices we make, putting too much faith in one product/service/person, and more. So tune in to hear my truth and the discussions with my guests. Do you have something to get off your chest? Do you feel the need to claim or disclaim something?

2010: Less Talk, More Action! - Dec 21,2009 | You know I'm going to drive home the point in these last remaining days of 2009 that it's not enough to talk about it. If you want success (or for things to be different in 2010) you have to back it up by taking action! we are heading into a new decade. It's time to assess all of your past mistakes and triumphs and keep what works, chuck what doesn't. Whether you're contemplating entrepreneurship or looking to take your career to that next level, you have to take action. Affirmations, positive thinking, finding mentors and all of the things most coaches will tell you is fine. BUT without moving to action,you'll remain stuck in a rut. Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Are you ready to break the cycle of insanity? Join me and my guests as we talk about how to set your action plan for success in motion. | 12/21/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Conversations with Women of Color in Tech - Dec 11,2009 | Women in Technology is a hot topic. But somewhere along the line, Black and Latina women fall into the background in these conversations. We know they exist in the tech world, but Women of color are very rarely seen in strong technology positions. Even with organizations like Anita Borg Institute, Women 2.0 and Women of Color in Technology all championing for more recognition of Women of Color, in main stream media and publications, there is still a very obvious void. But Women of Color, women in general are looking to fill that void. Join me as my guests and I discuss Latinas and Black Women in technology. We will focus on why there isn't as much coverage or acknowledgment of women of color when the conversation of Women in Technology is addressed. We'll also be talking about how to motivate more Women of color to get into tech, how to stay competitive and move ahead in the industry, how to select the best mentors and the best practices for managing a career in tech. | 12/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Stuck on Start Up - Nov 23,2009 | According to Entrepreneur Magazine, we are in the middle of not a recession or depression, but an "Entrepreneur's Economy". Now more than ever people need to dig back deep down into their roots and find that entrepreneurial spirit. We can no longer depend on big business to secure our futures so we can have long tenure and retire with that gold watch and small pension. Entrepreneurs, small businesses are the backbone of this country and are going to be the saving grace for the future of our country. What's holding you back? It's time to stop playing the "what if game" and letting fear keep you in a place where you're living for a paycheck and benefits. If it's in your heart and spirit to start a business, go for it.

Leadership Lessons From the Top - Nov 06,2009 | It doesn't have to be lonely at the top. Sometimes women feel they have so much more to prove than men, that they keep every task, project, or issue to themselves. This can lead to destruction if you're not careful. Ladies, you can be a leader and still delegate critical tasks to others, while maintaining control. There's no rule that says in order to be successful you HAVE to do it all. Join me as my guests and I discuss how women in top positions handle leadership and delegating. We will be discussing how to learn how to delegate in order to lead effectively, the pitfalls of not delegating, hiring the right people and deciding what should be delegated, and how to create an environment where people will gladly follow your lead because they believe in your vision and mission.

Latina Power - Oct 05,2009 | Latinas have long since been the silent minority, struggling to find her place in the main stream business world.

Latinas are making significant contributions in corporate, finance, education and entrepreneurship. Listen to my guests as we discuss the new Latina Agenda. | 10/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Motivation for Reinvention - Oct 02,2009 | Things can change at the drop of a dime. Sometimes it's by choice, sometimes it's by force. The one thing that's constant is Change is Inevitable. As a business owner (or even an employee) you have to be able to accept and adapt to change, especially in the current economy. Only the strong (and faithful) survive. Change doesn't have to be for the worse. In the final analysis if you don't prepare for change, you flounder. Join my guests as we discuss ways to accept and embrace change, shifting your strategies to keep your business current, creative ways to reinvent yourself or business, and best practices to position yourself to reap the benefits of reinvention. | 10/2/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Balancing Motherhood & the C Suite - Sep 28,2009 | There is an ongoing "debate" as to whether or not women can successfully manage a career AND a family. Both are equally demanding aspects of women's lives that they want to manage successfully. Some say women shouldn't sacrifice their family, specifically their children, to be successful in business. Others say women should go for their dreams and be successful in business to give a good example to their children, specifically their daughters. It isn't a black and white issue. Today's upwardly mobile professional woman has her eye on her family and the prize and aren't settling for one over the other. They learn to make it work without sacrificing quality in either area. My panelists say you CAN have both.

Power Branding - Aug 17,2009 | Your professional brand is the most important tool in your career arsenal. You'd better define your brand before other people assign one to you. Your professional brand is what matters to a potential employer, networking contact, or anyone who can help you find a job or grow your career or business. It's more than making sure your personal brand reflects who are as a person. It's also making sure that the information available about you online (and off) is visible, available, and relevant to where you are in your career and where you want to go next. A professional brand is important for anyone who is building their career or business. It also ensures that your professional capital is worthwhile. It's important to create a brand that portrays you in a professional light and provides employers and contacts with a strong positive impression of you as a high-caliber individual who would be an asset to their organization or circle of influence.

So with today's economy and constant news of lay offs, how does one keep happy and boost morale around them in the office? My panelists will discuss the keys to remaining happy at work.

We'll chat with women who are spearheading companies destined to be major technology players, who have taken matters into their own hands and created programs just for women, and women actively breaking down barriers in a male dominated tech world.

Passing the Reigns...Maybe?? - Jun 05,2009 | We live in an unprecedented time. The economy dictates that women must join, remain in or rejoin the workforce at alarming rates. More mature women are returning to work because of depleted retirement funds, losses on investments and in some cases being victim of massive investment fraud schemes (think Bernie Madoff). Younger women are getting into the work world at earlier ages. There used to be a time when young women could go from high school to college without thinking of working. The economy has put an end to that. The workforce is comprised of Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millenials. With so many different personalities and mindsets, coupled with technological and economic shifts, how do the different generations blend to work together in the workforce? Find out from our amazing panel. | 6/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
