One of my clients and I have recently embarked on a series of videos. Her business is unique, so I have had a great time helping her put these together!
The College Mentorship Academy helps students build the bridge between college and "real life" by teaching them to make valuable connections. Founder Eryn Morgan will be conducting two classes in June, and in these two videos gives the low-down on each. If you know a college student (or are one!), visit her website to sign up today!
PS. The classes are being instructed via Google Hangout, so there is no need to be local!

We're Baaaaaack!
Well, maybe.
The last several months have seen many changes. I became a wife and a mother. My little 'Burghling was born in early December, and has kept both heart and hands full for the last several months. So, that is the "maybe" part of the equation. There are now things that demand my attention far more than blog writing. You understand.
Then, my consulting business grew some legs and started moving along. At least it decided to do this before the 'Burghling (who of course has legs, but hasn't quite figured them out yet.....), because I think I can only handle one toddler at a time.
Now we are getting into the swing of things. A schedule seems to be slowing emerging out of the chaos, and I finally have found a little (get out your microscope) time to start to write again. Perhaps it was the inspiration I found in my friends who are featured in this article in "Kidsburgh". It is possible to have it all folks (or so they say). Am I lucky that I get to work from home and see my peanut all day long? You betcha! Am I exhausted and brain fried by 7pm? Is my Tivo backlogged and threatening to delete my favorite shows? (By the way - please stop it with the Downton Abbey spoilers people! Sheesh....). Is the "control freak" in me dying a slow and painful death? Yes, yes, and yes.
But is it worth it?
Yes.

'Burgh Watching - Propelle
We're baaaaack! The latest episode of 'Burgh Watching highlights some of my favorite people in Pittsburgh, the women behind the organization Propelle. I was excited to have the chance to sit down with Kate Stoltzfus, Emily Levenson and Carrie Nardini at the Shadow Lounge in East Liberty, and chat about the Pittsburgh entrepreneurial spirit. Plus, we got a snazzy new intro just for the occasion! Enjoy!

Iron City Sound
So, what do you get when you mix in the thriving Pittsburgh music scene with Iron City?....
THIS!
That video from local success stories and Iron City Sound Ambassadors Kellee Maize and DJ Bionics really revved me up for this contest, and got me a little teary-eyed with 'Burgh music pride at the same time. Will you be the sixth ambassador that Iron City will make an investment in to bring your career to the next level? Hurry, there are only a few short weeks left to enter! Here are the details:
Beginning on February 15th, local musicians began entering the Iron City Sound Contest by applying online at www.ironcitysound.com. The six-week submission period will end on April 1st and the top applicants, selected by the Iron City team, will be announced on April 16th. Top applicants will then be subject to a two-week online vote, between April 16th and April 30th, where the public can visit www.ironcitysound.com to vote for their favorite artist. The act with the most votes will become the newest Iron City Sound Ambassador(s).
Good luck!
