Top 5 Reasons Not To Miss PWCC Luncheons!

On Wednesday, January 11, 2012, PWCC luncheon attendees were graced with the presence of Kathleen Ameche, CEO & President of Ameche Group LLC and author of The Woman Road Warrior. Kathleen, with her wit and charm, gave us not only important tips on personal safety while traveling but also practical do’s and don'ts while traveling – something many of us do on a daily basis even if it’s just commuting to and from work. Here are some of the tips Kathleen shared: Every time you get into a cab, text the cab number to a friend or family member. This way should anything happen to you – like being held up at gun point by your driver (which happened to Kathleen) – someone will have this valuable information. When your hotel front desk attendant says “Thank you Miss Smith, you will be staying in Room 202 tonight,” respond back, "I’m sure Room 202 is lovely, but can I get another room and just write the room number down on this paper for me?"  You never know who can be lurk ...Read the rest of entry »

Holiday Connections at PWCC

  The holidays are all about connecting, both in life and at PWCC. A couple of times a year, PWCC opens up its monthly luncheon programming for a multi-stage, organized networking event. At most luncheons, attendees introduce themselves and hand out cards to everyone at their tables during the salad course and a speaker or speakers – always with an interesting message – addresses the group during dessert.   In December and again in the spring, though, the luncheon is all about members and guests connecting with each other. I enjoyed these luncheons a few years ago when I first joined PWCC, but after I’d let my membership lapse and then decided to start my own business, it was these “progressive connections” luncheons that brought me back to PWCC.   The premise is that you’re at a different table for each of the three courses, introducing yourself to and learning about 9 other ladies at each table. That’s 27 possible new connections in a little over an hour! With a few empty seats at m ...Read the rest of entry »

Doing What You Love

I am a huge believer in the saying “do what you love and the money will come." Being a creative person, sitting behind a desk all day was just not for me. I did try out the corporate world for a few years but always knew that it never felt right. I have been doing graphic design for about 12 years now on my own and I can now say that there is nothing about my work that I don’t enjoy. As a hobby, I started baking for friends and found that this would also be my calling. I always put my own spin on recipes and eventually started to get a feel on formulating ingredients for just the right texture and taste. I tried out cupcakes for a while with rave reviews, but quickly became bored with seeing them EVERYWHERE. This is when the "cake bite" was born! I then became addicted, and had to give away the cake bites I would make to avoid eating it all! I knew that I was on to something when my friends and family would start to request them on a regular basis. One friend in particular said to me, “You should sell these. ...Read the rest of entry »
