The Soulful Entrepreneur Summit Rocked!

The Soulful Entrepreneur Summit rocked! This week-long event, held Jan. 24-28, was truly life-changing for me. Many thanks to Alison Proffit and Amanda Mundo, for creating such a heart-filled and information-packed event. Alison, owner of Proffit Coaching, is the creator of the summit. Amanda, owner of Social Hero Brands, is the co-creator. Amanda is on the left, and Alison is on the right in  the photo just above this blog post.

According [...]

Being Interviewed by A Kindred Spirit

Have you ever had the experience of being interviewed by a kindred spirit? When Nan McKay, founder of TrailBlazers Impact Interviews, interviewed me for her podcast, that’s what I experienced. Not only are we age contemporaries, we are both from the Upper Midwest. We both worked in the public sector during our 20s. Fast forward to now, we both have our own businesses with related services and goals.   Services Provided by Joyce and Nan   I coach business owners and job seekers, especially those 55 and up, to be more effective and productive on social media, especially LinkedIn.

Using Social Media During the Holiday Season

Using social media during the holiday season can be complicated for some people. This stretch of time from Thanksgiving through New Year’s can be a challenging period.

Would you like to get some ideas for hosting a recognition event? I highly recommend hosting such events as a way to honor and thank key people.

How to Be the Best Podcast Guest Ever!

Have you considered being a guest on a podcast? First, you need to determine if the podcast world is a fit for you. Do your clients, referral partners or others interested in your services listen to podcasts? Do you have a message, background story or other information that fits the podcast format? When I asked myself those questions, I found that being a podcast guest is a good fit for me. I also discovered that I have a knack for the kind of extemporaneous speaking that works well in this environment. Also, being a podcast guest allows me to inspire [...]

How to Deal With the Challenges Associated with Injuring Yourself In a Minor Accident

Have you ever thought about how to deal with the challenges associated with injuring yourself in a minor accident? Frankly, I was ill-prepared for these challenges when I had to deal with them.   Here's How I Injured Myself On Friday, June 11, I fell and broke two bones in my right wrist when I was walking my dogs at a park near my home. They wanted to play with a dog they saw on the trail and broke away from me, knocking me over in the process. My husband, Bruce, took me to the local emergency room after I [...]

The Fortune is the Follow-Up

Jim Rohn was a highly-regarded motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur, investor, and business philosopher.  One of his best-known quotes is “The fortune is in the follow-up,” meaning you need to follow up with a person to make a sale. This approach is also very relevant to business networking. Following up after events or group meetings is essential if you are to generate results. Recently, I was telling a business colleague that 70% of my business comes from networking. She responded that if that was the case, I must be good with my follow-up, and I am. My disciplined approach to follow-up [...]

What Voice Do You Use in Your Social Media Posts?

What voice do you use in your social media posts? Recently, I was pondering this question as I was reading the LinkedIn posts of a couple of social media colleagues. I wondered if perhaps I should mimic their approach when writing my posts. Then after further reflection, I realized that it’s better for me to continue to use the style I’ve always used. "What is your style?” you may be asking. My natural approach, in case you hadn’t noticed, is to take a “how-to” style for my posts. My bachelor’s degree was in English Education, and I have a master’s [...]

Older Adults – You Can Stay Safe on Facebook While Enjoying Yourself

To my fellow older adults – you can stay safe on Facebook while enjoying yourself! As we approach the holiday season, we are likely to be spending even more time than usual on Facebook. Therefore, this is a good time to focus on the benefits and challenges of being on this social media site. There so many benefits for seniors to be had by being active on Facebook (and other types of social media). For example, Alissa Bauer’s article in the August 3, 2020 issue of Senior Living Blog includes such benefits as: Connecting with family members who live far [...]
