Back That Class Up
Pinch Me...or Don't

I was at a networking event and my purse grazed a younger gentleman's (I use that term loosely) behind. He turned to me and said, "And here I thought you grabbed my ass." I was speechless for a moment, and then kindly said, "No, I didn't grab your behind. My purse grazed it." I wanted to say it totally different, but I remained professional and kindly walked away leaving him there to think about his immature, unprofessional networking skills.
Jackie, FoxWIT

A Pox Upon Me

In her recent blog entry to "The Nature of Business" Anne McLain discusses how our bodies can force us to calm down, even if we don't allow for a full vacation or break from work. And in these moments of stepping back, we can look on our business lives with a refreshed vision. Read her entry and add a comment to share how you've revived or renewed something that's tried or tired.
