I always find it amazing how life comes full circle. While I was learning and networking at an event I attended I was able to reconnect with a former colleague, Kym Yancey. He and I had worked on a project as independent contractors in 1999. Back then, I was a lot less experienced but still just as passionate. It was a short-lived project of only a few months but he and I both left that interaction with a positive lasting impression of each other.
One of my core philosophies is to always leave every project, relationship or opportunity positively. This is a critical, foundational element of what I call Brand:You. Every interaction presents an opportunity to leave a positive impression. No interaction is too small or too big to not give the attention and positive energy it deserves. I encourage you to clearly understand that what you do and say is ALWAYS connected to your Brand:YOU.

Ten years later Kym and I are both living our passions through businesses we embarked on after we had lost touch. When we saw each other, though, we were able to pick up right where we left off. The company he built with his wife Sandra, eWomen Network, and their foundation, eWomen Network Foundation, have grown into an amazing powerhouse and a true testament to Success on Their Terms.

A few days ago I was asked by a reader of Star Lee Magazine to come to her women networking gorup, 
When she was speaking to the group and sharing information about the magazine and how it had touched her life she said she “had found her people.” I felt the same way standing amongst the 60+ women she had brought together to support one another! Many of them inspiring artists and enterprising women themselves. I so enjoyed hearing the stories many of them shared. We spent two hours learning and networking with each other and listening to passionate woman sharing their talent and art with the world! It inspired me to the point where the rest of the day I felt like I could conquer the world.
