The Boss of You

A few weeks back, we had a great chat with Constant Chatter founder Katy Tafoya about The Boss of You, and she has transcribed a good chunk of that conversation over on her blog. She asked us some great questions — such as, “I can see how the ‘elevator speech’ is something you should figure […]

We’ve been wanting for a while now to carve out some time to profile the marvelous women whose wisdom graces the pages of The Boss of You.

Just waking up and getting ready to check out of our hotel after our event at Borders last night. We’ll write more about that later, but suffice it to say the woman who organized it, Kennetta is like some kind of author’s dream come true. Our entire visit here has been all about making sure […]

Tomorrow we will be visiting the U.S. capital — it’s the first time for both of us, and we’re excited about it. We were invited to Washington, DC by a fabulous woman named Kennetta Wainwright who organizes a series of monthly events featuring business authors and entrepreneurs in panel discussions on various topics.
