How to Cure a Case of Shoulditis

August 11, 2015 by Beth Buelow 4 Comments

Forgive me, friends, for I have sinned. It's been (mumbles) days since my last blog post and (mumbles) weeks since my last newsletter. But it's been at least 100 days without a workplace injury! (small victories!) The truth is, I've been a bit stuck. It happens to us all. Back in June, my friend and colleague Sophia Dembling contacted me to get my input on a post she was writing about … [Read more...]

What To Say When You Talk About Yourself

April 23, 2013 by Beth Buelow 12 Comments

You've landed the interview for your perfect job. You're on the phone with a potential new client. Maybe you're even sitting across from the woman who could become your mother-in-law. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the other person takes control of the conversation and says, "So, tell me a little about yourself." *Gulp.* Is it just me, or is it getting warm in here? What does that mean, … [Read more...]

Why Entrepreneurs Cannot Live on “Like” Alone

April 30, 2011 by Beth Buelow 7 Comments

  A few weeks ago, my business coach threw down a challenge. No social media for five full days. No Facebook. No Twitter. No blogging. No lurking, no sneaking, no peeking. I had to go cold turkey. And it was going to be painful. I mean, I use each of those tools for my business! (Can you hear my whiny voice?!) They are valuable communication channels that help me connect with lots of people … [Read more...]

Living with Entrepreneurial ADD

January 15, 2011 by Beth Buelow 13 Comments

In my recent Ignite Seattle 12 talk, "5 Reasons Introverts Rock the Business World," I called out different strengths that give introverts an edge. Of course, not all introverts possess all five, and some extroverts share them, so it wasn't a one-size-fits-all characterization. One of the strengths I chose to highlight was "depth over breadth." Introverts generally have a special ability to stay … [Read more...]

Why I’ll Never Say “Just Do It” Ever Again

July 28, 2010 by Beth Buelow 2 Comments

Of all the marketing slogans in modern times, the phrase "Just Do It" has infiltrated our culture more thoroughly than any other. I'm talking complete assimilation. Like Xerox and Google have become verbs that mean "copy" and "search," "Just Do It" has transcended Nike and is generally used to mean "get off your butt and take action." And what's wrong with that? Really, I wouldn't be at all … [Read more...]

How Sustainable Are YOU?

June 30, 2010 by Beth Buelow Leave a Comment

Sometimes, a word pops up over and over until I just can't ignore it. This past week, that word has been "sustainability." We most often hear about sustainability in the context of the environment, or about the operations of a corporation or organization. While I was at a coaches association meeting last week listening to Lorinda Rowledge of EKOSI speaking on "Sustainability: The Next Edge of … [Read more...]

Hi Honey, I’m Home!

May 26, 2010 by Beth Buelow Leave a Comment

On the front porch of our house, there's a welcome mat that I cross every time I come and go. It's a great spot to wipe the wet Pacific Northwest weather off the bottom of my shoes before coming back inside. Other than that, I rarely notice it. A client session yesterday - and the memory of a great article written by creative self-development coach Jamie Ridler - brought up the idea of a welcome … [Read more...]

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It

May 18, 2010 by Beth Buelow 2 Comments

How often do you find yourself not really seeing other people? In the marvelous book, Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box (Arbinger Institute), the authors contrast leadership behaviors and attitudes that are "inside the box" or "outside the box." To view people or situations from “inside the box” means that I am choosing to see them apart from me as objects and almost … [Read more...]
