Last year I was approached by Grow Your Business Cleveland to be a part of their video series of Expert advice for business.  I'm pretty confident that I ignored the first email, because what??  It had to be spam.  Then they emailed again, and I politely informed them that while very flattering I am pretty confident I'm not an expert.  And then they called.  (Persistent they were)  While we were talking I tried to talk them out of it, because I still wasn't really sure they were talking to the right person.  Me??  An expert??

Then they started asking questions.  Turns out, I just might be an expert in how I relate to my own clients.  So I gave in, and said "Hey why not??"  Am I SO happy I did!!  This was the coolest and most fun experience ever!!  Not only did I get to be a part of this series, but I was also able to help the interns who work there get some great experience.  With a daughter just graduating with a Masters, and a son in college, I know all about the "Sorry we can't hire you because you have no experience" but yet how do you get experience if no one will hire you??  I'm all about helping out an intern.  P.S.  Anyone looking for a finance major intern let me know, I got one for ya!!

I am SUPER proud of this and can not thank GYB CLE enough for this opportunity.  Plus I get to talk about my kids and my Izzaboo, so really it's a win win!!

Turns out when you talk with your hands, it's really hard not to......or not as much...
