Happy Monday!I am back from Blogher 2009 (www.blogher.com). I had a grand time with the Blogher ladies and sponsors in Chicago. I also had so much fun using my Vado Creative Cam and filming webisodes of Ananda Leeke TV (www.youtube.com/anandaleeke). I was able to create a groovy series on Black women bloggers who attended the conference. Look for the webisodes later this week. I also filmed some fun episodes featuring me sharing my insights and chatting with Sam Smith, one of the coolest guys at Blogher. I did something unexpected and participated in two video projects. One was for Tropicana Juice. I gave my healthy tip on eating oatmeal with raisins and honey for breakfast. My webisode will be posted on Blogher and Tropicana’s web sites. I also gave my two cents on what advertisers should consider when marketing to women in a documentary filmed by Holly Buchanon.The Windy City weather was fabulous. I had time to meet my cousin Ellen and sistalove Mari for dinner at two Indian and Nepalese restaurants. I also went to the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Are you happy?

Are you happy? I mean really truly happy. Now I'm not talking about perfect, I mean we all have ideas about what could make our lives better. I'm not talking about being content either. I am talking about genuine happiness. Before you answer that question, I want you to think about two things:1. How do you define happiness? What does it really mean to you?2. What makes you happy?Now, based on the answers to those questions, are you happy?If you say yes, GREAT! That means that you are on the right track. Now what are you going to do about it? That's right, how are you going to maintain it? How are you gonna take it to the next level?If the answer is no, then my question for you is the same: what are you going to do about it?Let's face it, happiness is a choice. Just the same, success is also a choice. Not just one choice, but a series of choices. A process. The bright side is that you are never too young or too old to change direction and get busy. You can decide today, right now, to be happy and successful.Take a second and think about it. Let me remind you that it is going to be a challenge. It's gonna take some hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Remember, anything worth having is worth the sacrifice it takes to get it.Whatever you dream of doing, no matter how wild or far fetched it may seem to others, is possible.Microsoft was a dream to Bill Gates at some point, and what do you think his friends and family thought? I mean computers were not even commonplace. And Al Gore's family and friends must have though he was all types of crazy. He had a dream of using computers to allow people to communicate and connect all over the world, instantaneously. Thus the birth of the Internet. Where would we be if he was afraid to dream?As my dad always says "Dreamers built the world."The first step in Discovering your Dreams is to really think about what those dreams are.Your Homework:* Get a 2 spiral notebooks, or a legal pad and a spiral notebook. See you next week.* Come back next weekend for the next step in the process* Comment below and tell me:What do you dream of doing? What do the people in your life have to say about that?You can subscribe to this blog at www.discoveryourdreams.blogspot.comFollow us on twitter at www.twitter.com/XperiencEduCorp

Playing For Keeps is Now Available!!

TITLE: Playing for KeepsSERIES: The Smith Sister's Trilogy: Book 2AUTHOR: Stephanie MorrisAUTHOR URL: http://www.stephaniemorris.webs.comGENRE/THEME: Interracial RomancePUBLISHER: Amira PressISBN: 978-1-935348-51-1RELEASE DATE: July 24, 2009URL TO THE BUYING PAGE: http://www.amirapress.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=231EXCERPT RATING: PG-13Blurb:Keirra Smith has never met a man more self-confident, overbearing and irritating and she wants him. Only she isn’t willing to admit that she does. Eric Brooks lives a lifestyle that she doesn’t want any part of but he wont take no for an answer. Knowing that she is fighting a losing battle she gives in. After all what better way to prove to him that they are incompatible than to give into everything that she wants -he wants.Excerpt:Keirra took a deep breath before getting out of her car. She walked into Sam’s Café and spotted Eric at the back of the restaurant. One of the things that she noticed was that he stood out. He had a commanding presence.What she did know was that whatever he had to say better be interesting because she was going to have a fit otherwise. As she neared him, she figured whatever he had to say must be important because he was sitting in a secluded booth. He stood up as she approached the booth and didn’t sit back down until she was seated. She hated that he was such a gentleman. Personally, she thought it was all an act to sucker a woman in, and she refused to be one of the women that fell for that game. So much so that she didn’t even give him a chance to speak.“So what did you want to talk about?”If she had irritated him by interrupting him, he didn’t let it show. Instead, he gave her a reassuring smile.“Why don’t we order some food first then we can talk.”She frowned at him. “I’m not hungry.”“You have to be. You haven’t eaten all day.”Keirra laughed. “So you admit that you have been following me all day?”Eric grinned. “I wasn’t aware that I was trying to make it a secret.”Keirra figured he had a point. If he wanted to trail her without her knowing, his experience as an officer would allow him to do so.“Well, thank you for the offer of lunch, but I had a big breakfast.”As if to mock her as well as make her look like a liar, her stomach let out a loud growl. She closed her eyes in embarrassment and wondered if the day could get any worse. Eric chuckled and leaned back in the booth.“Are you sure?”Keirra rolled her eyes at his smugness before picking up the menu in defeat. She flipped through the menu in haste and decided on the chicken fried steak sandwich. That was one of the things on the menu she had been interested in trying but hadn’t received the chance to. Eric must have worked up an appetite following her around because he ordered enough food to feed at least three people. There was no way the man could eat the way he did and maintain the body he had. The shock must have shown on her face because he smiled.“Don’t worry. I have a workout room at my house, so I get plenty of exercise, but you are always welcome to provide alternative methods.”Keirra gasped in outrage, but she didn’t get the chance to respond because Nadia came up to their table and took their drink and food orders. When Nadia walked off, Keirra turned her attention back to Eric.“So what was so important that I had to meet you here and have lunch?” she asked through gritted teeth, still insulted by his earlier comment. However, she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of a response. He would only bait her into an argument, and frankly, she just didn’t want to go there.Eric laughed, and her heart skipped a few beats. The man was too sexy for his own good.“To discuss that you want me just as much as I want you, and it’s time we stop avoiding it.”Keirra felt her eyes widen. The man was cocky as well. A little too cocky, and it made her blood pressure rise to a dangerous point.“I tell you what. When you are ready to talk to me and not at me, let me know.”Keirra reached for her purse and went to slide out of the booth. Eric reached out and stopped her.“Keirra, wait. I apologize if I sounded rude.”Keirra gave him an incredulous look. “If you sounded rude?”She took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves before continuing. “Eric, you were very rude, and you know it. What I can also tell you is that I’m not like the other women you have talked to. So you are going to have to do much better than this if you want to capture my attention.”Keirra tightened her grip on her purse at the thought of just how many women that could be. “If you are looking for a typical one, I am positive there are several women around here willing to oblige you starting with Melanie.”Eric gave her an incredulous look, but she wasn’t going to take the words back. If he wanted a battle, he was going to get one.

The Favor of the Lord Rises up for YOU!Dyanner BrownJuly 2009

What is favor? Favor can be described to be a variety of many different things depending upon the variety of many different people that are asked. We all have heard the expression, “favor aint fair”.When something is fair, it is considered to be that which is good, just, acceptable, pleasing; that which is done properly or well and a time or season that is not considered to be stormy or cloudy. Based on this, it is quite plausible, that favor indeed is not fair. You might be wondering now, what on earth, do I mean, by favor not being fair; since there is an expression that is equally used just as much as the previously quoted one, being: “favor is fair to those who have it.”. This statement, believe it or not, is actually a contradiction to what is indicative of what it means to have favor.Favor consist of so much more than that which is considered to be fair: [good, just, acceptable, pleasing; that which is done properly or well and a time or season that is not considered to be stormy or cloudy].

Favor is considered to be the kind act of the one who extends the favor. Favor is consistent with the following: [kind acts fulfilled out of goodwill, approval without merit, preferential treatment, token of loyalty, a small gift, support, assistance, gentle treatment, help, goodwill, charity, esteem, aid, assistance, promotion, benefits, advancement, encouragement, improvement, and increase without any basis of merit, value, good quality, ability, spiritual credit, or facts of the case. Therefore, unlike something that is done base on that which is fair, good and done well; favor on the other hand is not based on the person who is recieving the favor, to be one who is deserving of it, or based on doing that which is good, valuable, or acceptable. It is however, totally based on how good, gracious and how great our God truly is!

Therefore, know today, beloved of God, that despite the situations or the circumstance that may surround us or our lives now or ever; we still have favor. No matter if we do well, succeed or if we stumble and fail, we still have favor. WE have the FAVOR of God!

Regardless of the sun shining brightly in our lives or if the storms of life are raging severely, threatening catastrophic damage and destruction in our lives; we still have something that is greater than that which is fair and reasonable, we have the favor or the most High God.

This favor comes, not due to our being good, doing well or that which is highly exceptable. Favor comes not because of us or our religiosity; it comes through the favor of the most high God. God has promised us His favor, no matter what. Isn’t good to know that this favor is not based on our own goodness, but dependant upon the goodness of the most high God and His love towards us!!

In fact it is when we go through the most severe difficulties, challenges, and test that we are to realize just how favored we really are. When we go through our most difficult challenges and can do no good of our own, when we feel we can’t go on, and when we feel that the enemy has gained ground and about to defeat us, this is when God shows us just how magnificent and great he really, truly is. God’s favor surrounds us and acts as a shield against the velocity of the strong winds and storms that come against us. God loves to exalt himself up against our enemy and show the favor that He has for us!

Psalm 5:12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass: [surround, guard, him as with a shield.Proverbs 3:4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.Proverbs 8:35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

This is the time, beloved of God that we are to scream into the face of adversity and every evil work, operating against us, “THOUGH YOU FIGHT AGAINST ME, I STILL WIN! I AM THE FAVORED OF GOD! I AM FAVORED BY GOD. GOD’S FAVOR IS UPON ME AND ALL AROUND ME! I STILL WIN!!” WE can stand up and lift our hands up to our God, because HE has Favored us!!!When the enemy comes against us from every angle, like a flood, God has promised to lift up: rise up, stand up, soar, arise: occur, come up, come to pass, begin, appear, cause to take place; His standard: [stage, platform, stand, proposal, request, call, His demand: His order, charge, harmony, His peace: serenity, freedom from strife: His reconciliation: His understanding, His support: His favor, His loyalty, His caring, His sympathy for you, His compassion for you, His accommodations] for you, His encouragement: His hopefulness, His cheering: His reassurance, His kindness, His gentleness, His consideration for you, His benevolence: His generosity, HIs preferential treatment towards those whom He loves dearly and deeply; against the enemy of our lives, NO matter what!!

WE are blessed by God to walk through any situation or circumstance that comes our way, because our God has favored us! Just as He did for the children of Israel at the Red Sea! God's raises up His power, might, majesty, authority and His standard against every enemy that seeks to cause harm, hinder or hurt us in any way! With our God, we always come through the storm, the flood, the fire, the waves.. JUST fine and better than when we went in!!Proverbs 8:35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.Proverbs 18:22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.WE have the favor of the most High God!

When we find God, we find God’s favor! WHen we have His favor, we also have His peace, prosperity, power, provision and His presence!! In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand, pleasures forever more! It is our divine heritage to walk in the peace, prosperity, privileges, power, provision, presence and the pleasures of the MOST High God as His beloved heirs and joint heirs with Jesus!!

WE are favored by God, based on the goodness of the most High GOD, no matter what the situation!Just like those before us!!Joseph was favored by God despite being hated, rejected, betrayed, mistreated, thrown into a pit, beaten, sold into slavery by his brothers, being falsely accused after being assaulted by someone in authority, and thrown into prison! Joseph's favor took him from the pit, from persecution and from the prison and catapaulted him into the palace! Favored by the Almighty God, the palace is where Joseph would face those who put him in the pit and persecuted him. It is there that he would be used by God to perpetuate the blessing that would keep these same brothers, that mistreated him, along with his father and the future generations of his people; from being wiped out by famine, poverty, desolation and destruction. Though he'd lost it all, the favor of God in Joseph's life, restored all he'd lost in a much greater and more substantial return!Genesis 39:6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.Ruth found favor from the Lord, despite being a former idolator, a impoverished woman whose husband had not measured up to his purpose or potential and had died suddently, as a result of it. Ruth was a single woman, with no home, while possibly going through grief and suffering when God blessed her with favor to be mentored and ministered to by Naomi. Ruth's favor led her to give up idolatry, serve the Lord, change locations and began working in the field. This favor on her life, placed Ruth in the right place, at the right time to be blessed by God! While gleaning in the fields, collecting the harvest, Ruth was favored by God and noticed by the wealthiest man in the land; Boaz. Boaz saw the favor of God on Ruth and began to question others about who she was. This favor would bless Ruth to become the wife of Boaz and to give birth to a child who would descendant in the lineage of Jesus Christ, our Savior!Ruth 2:13Then Ruth said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

Samuel was favored by God, from a child into his adulthood. Samuel's favor causd him to mature and grow in the Lord, mightily. This favor elevated him being a child, into being one of the greatest prophets and men of God in the bible! Samuel's favor has outlived him and is still being revealed today, when we read the bible.1 Samuel 2:26And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.David, a shepherd boy, was given favor by God and King Saul. This favor took David from being a boy serving and keeping the sheep out in the pasture, into being before the King, into later, being crowned King. David, the boy who was most likely to not be selected to be the king, came from the Pasture, tending sheep, to placing him in the Palace, before the King, to play for him and then matured him to become the Warrior Worshiping King, who would also be favored by God to write all of the Psalms to God, in which are still read, meditated on, praised and sang today!1 Samuel 16:22And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.Esther, an impoverished Jewish girl, was taken from her homeland, favored by God to be placed in the palace; a place that she should not have been. In the palace she would be more favored to be selected to go through the purification process of being purified, beautified, polished, perfected and perfumed so that she could just right to stand before the King. The favor that God had on Esther's life, caused her to not only stand before the King, but be selected over all others to be the new Queen who would stand beside the King as his wife. Esther's favor caused her to have the hand and the heart of the King; as well as gave her the distinct notable ability to turn the head of the King, which ultimately was the cause of the Jewish people being saved from eradication by those that hated them!Esther 7:3Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:Despite having one of the worst season's in anyone's life, being tried and tested and losing everything of value and worth to him, in his life; Job was favored by God. Job was so favored by God that he was tested beyond reasoning. After he'd lost his home, wealth, riches, finances, live stock, family, his wife, and his health; Job suffered even more so, due to the judgmental and hurtful comments of "f.rien-o.-e.mies" or what I like to call, his f.o.e.s. Although, Job may not have felt favored by God, he was. When Job turned to God and admitted to an Almighty God that he as a man, did not know everything that there was to know, about God and all of His ways; along with praying for HIs foes [friends operating as enemies], God favored Job again. ONLY this time, God favored Job with so much more, than what he had before his testing. Though Job had lost everything: friends, family, finances and seemingly the favor of God, Job was more greatly favored in the end than in the beginning because he was real with God! Because Job humbled himself, under the mighty hand of God, recognizing and acknowledging God's sovereinty and HIs greatness, as being so much greater, bigger and more powerful than what he was going through, how he was feeling, all he had lost or what was being said to him. Job's latter was greater than his former due to the favor of God on and in His life!Job 33:26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he [Job] shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Mary, a young virgin girl, who was engaged to be married to a carpenter was favored by God. She was visited by an angel one night and like most of us, might be, she was greatly startled. The angel told Mary of great favor the God had on her life, that would be higher, more substantial and greater than any other woman in the world. She was highly favored to be chosen to be the vessel in which God would use to bring His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into this natural world. Mary was favored by God to be the first woman to bring the word into the natural. She carried "The Word" within her. She gave birth to and brought forth "THe Word", into the world. Mary nurtured "The Word" and took great care of "The Word". Mary was favored by God to be the first woman who carried and bought The Word forth, natually! Though, at the time, Mary was under great pressure and at risk of having more to happen to her, as a result of her pregnancy, than the breaking of her engagment to Joseph. Mary was at risk of being taken out of the city to be stoned to death by the members of her community. But God favored her! Mary was not harmed, nor was the precious cargo that she was carrying, despite threats of the king at the time, looking for her, to kill what she was carrying. She was favored by God and protected. She was favored by God and covered and provided for by Joseph, the man that God favored to be the first bonus "step up" father [step father] to the blessing that she was carrying. That precous baby, that Mary was carrying is still so very relevant today. Jesus Christ, God with us. He is the Lord of Lord's and the King of Kings. He is the Alpha and the Omega! He is the Word who was in the beginning, the Word was there in the beginning with God, and the Word was God and the Word was made flesh!Luke 1:28And the angel came in unto Mary, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.Our Favor comes from the Lord, God through Jesus Christ our Lord!! The same Favor that Jesus had on His life, is on our lives. The same power that Jesus had when he walked the earth, we now walk in this same power by His word, through His name, by the blood of Jesus, by His love towards us! We are favored of and by God. God's favor causes us to grow, mature and be elevated, be positioned, be progressive, be accomplished, be successful and be prosperous in all that we do, especially that which we do for Him and the Kingdom of God!Luke 2:52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

It is time for God’s people to be favored of God!! Praise the Lord. God has decreed this to be the time of your favor, my favor, our favor. We have the favor of the most High God on our side, despite what the situations that surround or attempt to attack our lives, may look like. God dictates the last word in our lives. God’s word will not return to him void. God has decreed that we are the blessed of the Lord and the favored of God. Walk in the favor of God. Exercise your rights and privileges of favor, as an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus Christ. You are favored! This is your time of favor!! God rises up to show his favor to you, no matter what! Decree it as so, just as God has decreed it already for you!Psalm 102:13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.We are favored by God, just as Jesus was favored by God. WE are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ to the privileges of favor, power, peace, prosperity, protection and provision of the Kingdom of God. We are favored by God and nothing can separate us from this favor which comes in His love. Walk in your favor as the beloved of the God and remind yourself, no matter what comes your way, that you are FAVORED by God in all things, at all times. In t his favor you have all that you need to succeed in life and in godliness. You have all of God’s stage, platform, stand, proposal, request, and God’s call. You have His demands: His order, charge, harmony, His peace: serenity, freedom from strife: His reconciliation: His understanding and His support:, His power, His provision, His protection, His loyalty, His caring, His sympathy for you, His compassion for you, His accommodations for you!

This your time of FAVOR! Shout it out, dance it out, DECREE it, Believe it and Walk in it!!! Its Here!! Its now! YOU ARE FAVORED.God bless you richly today and always as you walk in the favor of the most High God today. God loves you and He desires and has made provision for you to prosper, be in health, even as your soul prospers and He has favored you!!!

How to Become a Prosperity MagnetWhat Are You Made of on the Inside?“Also [I desire] that women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with [elaborate] hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing” 1 Timothy 2:9 (Amplified Bible)Iwant to address this important issue because we have to move from being a woman to becoming ladies. A true lady has a sweet smell about herself. Do you carry this aura on the inside of you?

There is a certain aura that wealthy women possess and you can't help but notice when they walk into a room. The way they dress, the way they sway, their undeniable posture and the way they convey seems so natural. You can’t help but wonder if there is some sort of secret to being this fabulous. The reality is that we can all be that woman if we would just take the steps to change the way we think. You might think this is hard, but you have a helper and His name is Jesus.Every human being is a magnet, the attractive power of which may be developed in any desired direction. You will automatically draw from the well that is on the inside of you. So the key is, if I am a magnet, and I draw from my personal self, then what I’m I presently drawing into my life that is not what I want? Remember like will attract like. If there is a blockage in your financial growth then the first place you have to look is on the inside of you. I know that you believe that your salary and the fruit of your labor have provided for you shelter, transportation, clothes and food. This may be true, but your thought preceded your endeavor to obtain all of those things. Your mental plan went before your achievement.After moving from California and living in a house my parents had to move back to New York because of family issues. You see I spent the rest of my teen years in the hood in Brooklyn, New York. I was surrounded by drugs, gangs, poor housing conditions, teen pregnancy and the like. But I made up in my mind that I would be different. The key here is that even if your environment is not what you want right now don’t allow it to get into YOU. You must show a respect for yourself by speaking positive words, connecting with positive people, keeping yourself well groomed, even if your clothes may be from the salvation army. Surround yourself with an atmosphere of hope and expectancy of better things to come. In this way you are making yourself a prosperity magnet because your mental door has a welcome sign on it.Below is the Number 1 obstacles that will block your prosperity. I know it sounds strange, but as you clean your physical house you automatically begin to clean your mental house which opens the door of your mind for new ideals, new friendships and a new you. CleanlinessEverything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. I Cor. 14:40Wealth can’t live in uncleanliness. Have you seen people who spend tons of money on their home and then fail to keep it up? Wealthy Women love cleanliness. They work better, are more creative and complete their goals in clean environments. When you keep your environment clean and uncluttered you’re inviting wealth into your life. (Do this exercise = Is your house, desk, closets, stove, refrigerator, etc. clean? If not - why?)

Always Have A Plan B!

When the Garden of Eden didn't work out, God had a back up plan for both Himself and the world. His backup plan was Jesus. The darkness and destruction that was in store for man couldn't materialize because God had already planned out a just in case scenario. Imagine for a moment that God had no plan to address Adam and Eve's folly. Where would we as believers be? That is a very scary proposition.So is the idea of not having a savings account. Most of us are so busy trying to stay up to date with our financial obligations we don't have time to think about a what if scenario. Let's take a moment to explore one though.Plan A was for Sheena to have the washer and dryer last at least 1 more year so she can buy a new one with her income tax refund check. BUT........ What if the washer breaks tomorrow?With no Savings Account what is Sheena's plan b?A. Buy a new washer on her old credit card with the high interest rateB. Apply for a new store card and hope to be approved for enough to purchase a new washerC. Sheena can decide to wait on her income tax money to buy her new washer. However that also means that she needs to go to the bank, get some rolls of quarters and head to the laundromat on a weekly basis for the next several months.However if Sheena had a Savings Account she would also have an Option D. She could simply transfer the necessary money from Savings to Checking and go right to Sears.A Savings Account is a plan b that we all should have. Life and our plans for it are always changing and it often takes money to implement the changes we need to make happen in our lives.Consider This........If God Himself had to plan for things not to go as He planned, how can we mere mortals expect plan A to always work?Written By Tanai M.

Strategic Planning...What is it?

Strategic Planning sounds serious. And it is, but three points I want to make is that it doesn't have to be complicated, its needed for success and we use it all the time in every day life. Strategic planning is a road map. If you are taking a trip driving from one state to a state that you have never visited. You would not make that trip without a road map. You would want to make sure you have the right direction and know what roads to take. That is strategic planning and that example also shows how you use it in everyday life.In business, have a strategy so that you have direction and will successfully reach your business mission.For more tips visit www.pathfindersbr.org

I have been to quite a few networking events and I guarantee you will hear the phrase, “Tell me about yourself.” Many people are able to answer this question with no problem, while others seem to struggle. If you find yourself experiencing the latter, one way to combat this issue is memorizing an elevator speech.In case you are not familiar with this term, an elevator speech is a short spiel that enables you to convey with others your occupation and what you represent (i.e. attributes) in the same length of time it takes for you to reach the highest floor in an elevator (approximately 30 to 60 seconds). Think of it as a way to “break the ice” when you meet someone new. In order to find out if your speech is pushing the right buttons, keep the following in mind:Know before you go: First impressions are extremely important. People form their judgments about a person within the first thirty seconds of meeting them. Therefore, when someone requests that you tell them about yourself, please do not waste these precious seconds.I am not trying to be funny or mean when I say this, but please figure out what it is that you do and what you represent before you are asked (especially if you are going to a networking event!). When some people are asked to talk about themselves they act like it is a trick question and are literally stumped in trying to determine how to craft a response. Remember, only you have the answer. Using “fillers” such as ‘um’ or ‘ah’ will not help in your quest to project that you are a confident individual.Would you want to listen to yourself?When you are rehearsing your elevator speech keep in mind how you would feel if you were subjected to listening to your speech. Would you be satisfied or bored? If you are bored and you wrote the speech—imagine how the listener will feel. I realize not everyone has a “cool” job. However, this is still no excuse for having a boring elevator speech. How do you expect to impress a recruiter or land a new client without capturing their attention?The key to getting where you want to be is to demonstrate that regardless of what your occupation is, you take ownership of your position and have pride in the work you perform. Do yourself a favor and craft an elevator speech worth listening to by including the following:* Your occupation Yes, this seems obvious, but it does not hurt to be reminded. In addition, make sure that you add the company name as well. The person listening to you might know one of your colleagues. Therefore, in the event that you are nervous, knowing a common person that the listener knows might make you feel more at ease.* Why are you unique? For example, instead of simply saying, “I am a Marketing Consultant,” and bring the conversation to a screeching halt, why not say, “I am a Marketing Consultant that loves a challenge and truly enjoy assisting my clients.”* Examples, please. When you craft your response by answering, “Why you are unique?” The degree to how well you craft your answer will determine how interested people will be in learning more about you. You will know you accomplished this feat when the next question you are asked is, “How do you [insert your exceptionally crafted answer—i.e. assist your clients]?” This question will enable you to share your skills and talents without being viewed as “pushy.” Make the most of your time in the spotlight by giving 3 quick examples to support why you are [insert your exceptionally crafted answer].Facial expressions speak just as loud as words: When you are speaking make sure you are paying attention to how others are reacting to your speech. If you see someone is confused, immediately stop and ask them if they need clarification. Oftentimes, if people are confused they will let you keep talking because they are afraid that they will come across as ignorant (of course this could not be further from the truth!).It is your responsibility to put their mind at ease by being direct and asking them if they need clarification. I often receive puzzled looks when I mention that my company offers virtual assistant services. When I receive these looks, the next words out of my mouth are, “Are you familiar with the concept of virtual assistance?” When I offer to clarify a term or phrase that is unfamiliar to the other person, I can see the sigh of relief on their face and am then told, “No, if you do not mind can you explain it to me.”It does neither person any good to allow you to continue talking when you are not on the same page. The other person will undoubtedly harbor feelings of insecurity because they did not understand what you do. When you fail to pick up on nonverbal cues that your listener is confused , your listener will assume that you are “smarter” than them and you will miss out on the chance to connect.Remember, the whole purpose of an elevator speech is to share what you do and what you represent. You are also satisfying their curiosity in why you are a phenomenal person that they should become better acquainted with and worth adding to their network. You have to make sure that your speech is pushing the right buttons so you can get off on the same floor together.
