You asked so I am delivering….a new way to work with me! Some people who have invention ideas would like a single, one-hour session with me to ask questions and obtain my advice on specific aspects of the creation process before they choose a 2-week, 4-week or 3-month acceleration package. I totally understand this so […]
Happy Thanksgiving to you from me! Connecting with innovators: new & established this past year has enlightened my life. Being trusted to help guide creative people through their personal creation processes has rocked my world & I am grateful for each opportunity. I take my new(ish) title of “idea execution strategist” seriously and look forward […]
Constructive feedback is one of my favorite tools. I utilize it to open my mind to another’s perspective to help formulate my plan to increase the effectiveness of the work that I am doing. During my corporate career, particularly when I was given new responsibilities, receiving information that would assist my success was always helpful. […]
Flashback Friday! In 2014 as I was coming down off the high of my overfunded Kickstarter campaign, I had the honor of being a guest speaker at the “Wall Street Trek” event for a group of Babson MBA Students to discuss my transition from corporate to entrepreneurship and all things RestoPresto. What a thrill! I […]
Today’s THROWBACK THURSDAY is dedicated to my friends, family & the strangers who shared posts about my RestoPresto Kickstarter campaign. This “free advertising” contributed to my campaign being overfunding in 2 weeks. SUCCESS! “Word of mouth advertising” and social media are powerful! The collage above is of a handful of the many Facebook posts by people who […]
I launched RestoPresto to the market the same day that I launched my Kickstarter campaign and IT. WAS. A. WHIRLWIND. The months leading up to this day were consumed with finalizing the RestoPresto prototype, securing my intellectual property, graphic designs, a VIDEO shoot, creating a landing page on Shopify, picking fonts, colors, images, choosing an […]
Before I launched RestoPresto to the market via a Kickstarter campaign, I engaged a small number of people during the challenging creation process to help me. I kept RestoPresto a secret because I wanted to be first to market and to protect my intellectual property (note: mission accomplished). One of my first calls for guidance, when […]
YOU have an invention idea and may be wondering, “what on earth do I do now”? Well, you are not alone. Navigating the creation process is challenging so why go solo? You have a vision for a product or service. I have personally experienced that exciting moment when a unique idea strikes you. I […]
A year ago today, my heart was pounding as I watched my beloved product invention RestoPresto featured on The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda. I was standing on the plaza at Rockefeller Plaza, peering through the studio windows when the show went LIVE and the set took my breath away: Kathie Lee was […]
Countless times, people have approached me verbally and via email with, “this is a stupid question but…” or “I have a silly question for you, what is a ____?” To me the ONLY silly question is the question NOT asked. We are human, it is impossible to know everything and let’s be honest there […]
