Happy Sunday!
I hope you’re having a great week-end, and that somewhere in the midst of the busyness of life, you find a few moments to reach and inquire within. You may like what you hear when the noise of the world dissipates a bit…Here’s a bit of our Sunday inspiration, the news that made us smile, laugh and frown up a bit this week:
- In fabulous news this week, the New York Times writes about SheTaxis, a new cab service in NY by women catering exclusively to women. And Jezebel anticipates we may need some SheRides credit pretty soon…
- I wrote earlier this week about the new hustle economy, which was inspired by the Harvard Business Review‘s breaking down of the current freelance economy;
- Brazen Careerist reminds us of why our first job (how long ago was that again?) is the most important of them all;
- To go to grad school or not? The Daily Muse recommends we ask ourselves 5 questions before making the move;
- Did you ever wonder if gender plays a role in the types of feedback we receive at work? Well, Fortune confirms in no uncertain terms that it definitely does…;
- Ever wondered what bad things people had to do at work? Business Insider lists 9 of the most hilarious and horrendous things people had to do while on the clock;
- Got texting etiquette? Black Enterprise tips us off on a few rules to follow when texting potential clients and business contacts;
- Too busy to care? Well, Fast Company confirms that everything we tell ourselves about being oh so busy is really a…lie (so please get down your busy pedestal…);
- I’m dreading “cleaning” my closet this Fall, again…Maybe I should get inspired by Positively Positive‘s tips on how to enjoy living with less (really, how many shoes and pocketbooks does one two-legged, two-armed woman need);
- Last but not least, for the next time you refrain from asking advice, NYMag reminds you that asking advice actually makes you seem more competent. So, ask and you shall receive!
Happy Sunday!
The Corporate Sis.
