The 4-Letter Word Gen-Y Can’t Stand

Written by Christien Louviere
Tweet

Tweet “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” – Harry S. Truman Do you want to be the best in your field? People are inherently good, which in turn makes them dishonest because everyone walks on eggshells today for fear they might offend someone. The hypersensitivity of my generation (Y) has [...]

Facebook Is Dead..Now What?

Written by Christien
Tweet

Tweet Over a year ago, my friend Darren Herman wrote a post about the social networks Facebook and LinkedIn colliding.  I saw this happening on a small scale at the time but not on the major scale it is now.  I now have clients, MBA classmates, colleagues, friends, family, Michael Phelps, dogs, cats, etc. all [...]

Down Economies Are Fun!!!

Written by Christien
Tweet

Tweet I’ve always tried to do things a little different than the person next to me. This world is so competitive that you have to do things to set yourself apart if you want to get noticed.  While this holds true for careers, it also holds true for life.  Stop watching ticker tapes all day.  [...]

Good Resumes Lack Objectives!

Written by Christien
Tweet

Tweet With the job market following suit of the economy, it is hyper-competitive to land a great job.  If you believe that you are the best of the best, then you better have a solid resume that will drive that point home. I have been working on a project for a client, which required research [...]

Real Men Suit Up For Success

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetI love the scene below from Boiler Room (viewer discretion advised) in which Ben Affleck delivers his “Act As If…” speech. The point is that if you’re going to sell, then you have to look the part. It doesn’t matter if you’re in sales or not, you need to dress for the position you want [...]

The Engagement

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetI’ve given the short, short version several times to many people, but there is always a plethora (Three Amigos) of questions that ensue about the setup, espionage and deceit (necessary) that took place to make this magical event everlasting and memorable. Three months of planning and preparation went into the engagement night, so I’ve decided [...]

5 Ways to Be Rich and Powerful

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetThe perceived recession is over hyped. A recent Business Week article finally proved as much. Regardless of the economy, I maintain the mindset of ABS…not brakes…ABS = Always Be Saving. Our generation isn’t going to collect a dime of social security, so it’s important for us to save now. George Costanza said very few intelligent [...]

Life Without the Net

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetSo this weekend I had to go without the Internet at my complex. There are times where I will purposely not use the Internet, so I can focus on other things. I had to play host to two special guests, so I didn’t have much time to really worry about it; but it always interests [...]

Nike SPARQ – My Brand is Better

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetI recently made a post about Nike understanding what athletes are about. The Cinderella commercial I referenced was about doing whatever, whenever to get where you want to go. The newest commercial is about their Nike SPARQ (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, Quickness) training program. To most athletes, SPARQ is nothing new. It is a training [...]

Gen Y – Declining Use of Email

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetDeclining use of email? Research suggests that teens rarely use email to communicate. They prefer to send text messages to each other. Considering that they are more likely to be in contact with each other during the day by phone than computer, that makes sense. But do you think this will continue once they enter [...]

Jordan Clock Tower Commercial – Become Legendary

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetI was a huge Michael Jordan fan when I was young. I used to try, notice the italics, to imitate him as a kid. I watched the training videos, read the Bios and scraped together what I could on the young Internet. Jordan and Nike have always put together wonderful commercials. They have been consistent [...]

Eleanor Roosevelt Wouldn’t Like Starbucks

Written by Christien
Tweet

TweetEarlier this year, Howard Schultz decided to return to his vision at Starbucks (SBUX), and everyone is anxious to see if he can turn around the coffee bean behemoth. Hopefully, he can “pull a Steve Jobs.” About a year ago, I gave my McStarbucks theory about Starbucks starting to serve breakfast. Two months ago they [...]

Praise Inflation

Written by Christien Louviere
Tweet

TweetI can’t take credit for coining the term praise inflation seen in the title. The credit goes to Mr. Jeffrey Zaslow of the WSJ. Having said that, I did pick up (AKA click to) the article read it and ‘borrow’ the title…so can I please have my damn cookie now? I’ll be out to lunch [...]
