    Flirty Friday: “I Promise It Won’t Be Awkward”

    I visited with the ladies of Skirt PR this morning when Lauren Berg Donovan, the agency vice president, talked about networking.

    Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Normal Gets You Nowhere

Cheers to the dates we smile about and the ones we remember with dread. Cheers to the moments we wanted to quit and the successes we didn’t imagine possible.… Read more
