This month, Don’t hold back!

By Alicia Pozsony If you followed my January advice, by now you should be feeling fresh, alert and on track. You should have made yourself once again acquainted with more people through your holiday greetings, feeling good about your timetable and goals and feeling stronger than ever in the self-worth department. If so, good for you! If not, it’s not the end of the world. No time like the present. This month, I challenge you to stand up and speak up! Start talking on Blogs popular within your profession; start your own blog if you have not yet done it. Use Twitter actively to make the most of your connections online. Go the extra mile to assert yourself. Start conversations on Linkedin. Start conversations in the office supply store. Comment people positively at happy hour. Exchange business cards. Get out there! Your efforts must be as far reaching as possible so Don’t hold back! When I am on a path with an ending in mind, I start with zero, so I can accurately measure my stand...
