Update from Chicago…our World Tour has begun.
Whewhh! Pardon our little break from blog posts and vlogging… we were on such a gift of a tour, and its getting better each day! Next week we are off to Chicago to visit our friend, Corny Koehl, executive producer at Oprah Radio for The Gayle King Show.

As if we needed to tell you, Oprah Radio, and Gayle King in particular rocks… in large part because Corny is on a mission to create compelling, edgy, honest radio and she’s really, really good at that.

We spend a lot of time helping choreograph your World Tour of Success by sharing tips and resources with you.

1. DON’T BE OBLIVIOUS TO THE IMAGE YOU PROJECT. When the “color specialist” approaches and says, “Oh, I can make your hair great!” while handing you a flimsy, perforated, printed-at-home business card, Run. Actually, first realize your hair is already great, and then run! Nothing good comes out of your gut feeling that says used-car-salesman meets hairstylist. Consider everything from your posture, your presence, and yes, your business card… is that exactly what you want to project both professionally and personally?2. NEVER BE IN SUCH A HURRY THAT YOU LOSE PROPER FOCUS OR DECISION MAKING ABILITY.
