Don't Wait Too Long to Follow Your Dreams

This weekend I sang my heart out off-Broadway in NYC. The show, entitled "Follow Your Dreams" included me singing jazz classics - each with an inspirational message, as well as a mini-workshop where the emcee took the audience through a fun, interactive dream building session. All of this backed up by a fabulous trio of musicians on bass, piano and trumpet. To check out the bass and trumpet player, visit The Jazz Conceptions Orchestra.

As part of my "walk the talk" philosophy, it's been important to not only tell others to go after their dreams but to be an example myself. I am happy to report that many said it was my best performance yet! I've also made it a point to have others in the show who are walking examples of living the dream. This includes the band as well as the emcee for the show, Craig.

Take a vacation and learn a new career!

Ok so I wasn't learning a new career on my recent vacation to Thailand, but it was great to network with new and interesting people. So much so, that I talked on Martha Stewart Radio about how to network on vacation. Read all about it on Martha Stewart Living's Radio blog!

Vacation can lead to career change as well. For those of you who don't know, I'm an affiliate coach for VocationVacations (VV) - a company dedicated to helping people test drive their dream jobs. It's an amazing concept in which you can spend a weekend paired up with a mentor who does that dream job for a living. It's a great way to learn the in's and out's of a career BEFORE making a career change.
