I had the opportunity to assist my B-school alma mater Questrom Business School Boston University with advice on the Writing curriculum. One of my topics was Emails. One of the biggest influences on my own Email writing was The Hamster Revolution: How to Manage Your Email Before It Manages You. I still have pages 43 (Subject Line Category) and 83 (COTA) marked. Have you read this book? What was one of your biggest influences on your Email writing? #hamsterrevolution #emails #emailetiquette #writing #businesswriting #fokuspointdigital

INSPIRATION ON LEADERSHIP…FROM THE FASHION WORLD

I love to learn every day, to gain inspiration from different people, places, and things, and live a life of making a difference, inspiring others, and leaving my legacy. Today, I hope to inspire my network. 

My most recent inspiration comes from a world I’ve loved since I was a little girl, an unattainable world, a fantasy world, but one that brings me smiles always…fashion. So it was an easy choice on which Masterclass to take next…Anna Wintour’s. I love her directness, authenticity, risk-taking, support of others’ careers, creativity, leadership, and of course, style! 

My favorite quotes to summarize her lessons:

  1. “own who you are without compromise or apology” and “own your decisions, trust yourself”
  2. “invest in the right people…and empower them” and “learn to love a surprise”
  3. “be inspired by the world…arts, culture, museums, travel, and more”
  4. “don’t lock yourself to one path”
  5. “act like no one is telling you ‘no’…be daring and take risks”
  6. “it is important to make mistakes”…”fall flat on your face, it’ll be worth it”
  7. “seek someone to push you, not pull you back”
  8. “build a network of mentors”
  9. “you can’t be everything to everybody”
  10. “find the bigger meaning in your work”
  11. “listen but lead with a strong point of view” and “lead with clarity and conviction”
  12. “nothing extraordinary happens overnight”…”great things take time”…“you need patience to achieve important heights”
  13. “you have a voice – use it”
  14. “be fearless”
