Office Chic – Accessories

By Layne · 1 Comment · In Office Chic

Accessories are a simple way to take a plain or even average ensemble to fabulous. Accessories are a personal statement that is a reflection of you, your taste and style. Are you bold and colorful, more formal and dressy, or elegantly understated? Do you feel naked without accessories or a minimalist — a watch and [...]

Office Etiquette – Introduction

By Layne · Leave a Comment · In Office Etiquette

Etiquette is so integral in the workplace, that I continue to be amazed at the lack of civility, courtesy, and, in essence, social grace to the people we spend the majority of our week and nearly complete day engaging our time and lives with. We live in an age where our behavior extends beyond on [...]

Mac Happy

By Layne · Leave a Comment · In Technology

I am a technology nut! Love it in all its elements. I will try anything to see how it can work for me (okay, not EVERYthing).

I’m not new to the legion of lovers for Apple products. Why, I’ve had an iPod since the beginning. The first iPod I purchased was directly from Apple. I [...]

Apps & Gadgets: Evernote

By Layne · Leave a Comment · In Apps & Gadgets

Are you one of those people who like to keep all your information in one general place, tear out the pages of magazines for inspiration, research printed out from a website, notes? I still have folders where I put this stuff. This is the program for you. Put the app on all your devices so [...]

By Layne · Leave a Comment · In LinkedIn, Networking, Social Media

Have you ever wanted to ask a question or get some “pearls of wisdom” from your favorite top business leader?

Assistant Profile – Pepper Potts

By Layne · Leave a Comment · In Assistant Profile

Iron Man 3 just came out and I had to go see it. Other than the fact that I love watching the Marvel movies, I had been brewing up the idea of doing a series on, essentially, assistant characters and how they are portrayed on film.
