This week, my nomination to become President of the WBN was accepted. I'm pretty excited because I'm eager to help other women in business succeed.

Because I care about women in business

It's been almost two years since I finished reading Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead. It had been on my "to read" list for quite a while, though when it first came out I wasn't sure I even wanted to read it.

I moved away from Tallahassee in 2000. I haven't been to Prism since I was a student in the mid to late 90s. This made me emotional to see. LOVE this concert and I have since the first time I went when I was 12.

The importance of content curation

karencwilson.me

"Content curation" is one of those phrases that gets tossed around the digital marketing and content creation world practically every second if you're following enough of us. (I might be exaggerating. Maybe.) It's not a buzzword, but it could be construed as jargon because the act and its benefits aren't immediately clear to those who most need it. So, before I launch into why you want to include content curation in your digital marke...

Now that I've got +Evernote all organized, I'm going through my +IFTTT recipes to see what I can use to be more effective there. Browsing the recipes makes me glad I have a rule about not posting anything online that I wouldn't be okay with going public.

Story

Tagline

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings

Introduction

I am a digital marketing strategist with a background working in marketing and communications. I used to spend a lot of my free time helping organize Ottawa's first social media conference, Social Capital. Now I'm doing a bit of freelance work, taking classes at Algonquin College, blogging about topics related to my profession, and occasionally about life.

Bragging rights

I'm a Florida girl and I left my jacket behind before most of my born and bred Canadian friends. ;)
