Social Media – What’s your Hook
Social Media - What's your Hook?What makes your company stand out in the world of social media? Are you stumped for an answer? I guess we could ask our presidential candidates on both sides, the same question. They would of course say they are "ALL" winning the debates being presented on the digital front. The one attribute they all seem to possess is an aggressive one. They attack everything with a "WIN" mentality. When planning out your own social media campaign you need to have the same "WIN" mentality.

Living The Dream! Hand Me The Remote Please
It's okay to live your life to make bank, but after so many years of the same old grind, a nagging intuition inside your gut will rear its ugly head and tell you "there has to be something more".

Dumbing Down the Next Generation
Those in higher education today have to wear a variety of hats, from advisor, career specialist, to recruiter; and students want their education online, on-demand, and on their terms. Anyone who has ever advised students can tell you that just getting students to understand the elementary concepts of what and why you need general education courses - can be exhausting. Everyone is in a transition, students and teachers.The digital natives (a digital native is defined as a person born between 1980 and 1994) are being inundated with academic curriculum designed to be done on the computer – but let’s face it, it's still just another teaching method. I tend to…
