Hey there. Thanks for stopping by. Name is Lisa and I’m an integrated marketing communications professional passionate about cultivating relationships, reputation and trust between people and brands through rich dialogue and a dynamic communications experience. My roots in PR, emerging media, technology, customer service and social science place me in the unique role of many things to many people in the corporate and agency worlds. This blog is a place to share thoughts on marketing communications, digital and social media strategy, what I’m reading and thinking about. I’m also wife to an amazing husband, dog mom to coolest dog ever, movie, food, motorcycle, yoga obsessed gal living in Minneapolis.

    This makes me even more excited for our coffee meeting! “I’m interested in the foundation, which I believe is people talking to and helping people a.k.a. relationship building.” Let's just say, we might be twins…

    Just be brief and frequent and you will

    Thanks so much Mary. Hope I can keep you coming back:)

    Your comments mean so much to me Justin. I need all of the advice I can get. “Blogging Mondays” is a good one. I may adopt that:), if you don’t mind. I also look forward to understanding WordPress at some point (I’m part way, sort of). The @arikhanson is definitely good people and one that has inspired me. I’m pretty sure he’s aware of this. Thank you again Justin.

    Hey there. You’re off to a great start. That’s exactly the type of goal that will keep you blogging because you will definitely learn a ton from others and about yourself throughout this process.

    And it’s always good to have awesome people like @arikhanson in your corner (but don’t tell him I said that :) ).

    For me, the biggest obstacle has always been posting consistently. When I started blogging, I instututed “Blogging Mondays” to ensure I’d write a post each week. Worked for about six months, but it’s so easy to get busy and ignore your blog.

    November is National Blog Posting Month and I’ve been trying to post once each day for 30 days. I haven’t made every day, but have made quite a few and the writing is already starting to come easier.

    Hope that helps. Best of luck and I’ll be awaiting your future posts.
