Wow. That’s pretty much all I can say about the INC Yourself Workshop that I co-spoke at tonight at St. Louis Community College William J. Harrison Building.
It was a great turnout and the crowd was amazing. And my co-speakers? Fabulous!
I will be sharing more with you in the next few days from this evening’s event, including video and pictures. But right now, I wanted to thank the St. Louis Comptroller’s office (Robin and Sean) for inviting me to speak. It was a pleasure!
There’s a little not so well known fact about me—I am secretly a fan girl of all things technology, especially mobile devices and tablets. So I was a little geeked when I was asked to be on Simple Mobile Review’s SMR Podcast on Tuesday. As the only girl holding it down, I was a little nervous, but managed to add a little Cubicle Chick spice to the conversation.

In honor of my appearance, the guys at Simple Mobile Review are giving away 5 $20 Amazon gift certificates as well. To learn more about that, click HERE.
Thanks to Chris and the gang for having me on their show and I look forward to being a guest again in the future!
On June 13th, I had the pleasure of being invited to discuss social media and with KPLR Channel 11 noon news anchor Christine Buck. We talked about everything from how I started my blog, TheCubicleChick.com in my home, to juggling work, life, and play, to the social media conference I founded called Show Me the Blog, which will be held for its third year later in 2012.
It was an honor to be a guest on the program, and I enjoyed chatting about the world according to The Cubicle Chick.

Can you believe it’s almost that time again for Back to School? I don’t know about you, but it seems like my kids just got out of school a week or so ago! Back to School time means that you will be spending more money than usual making sure your child is prepared for the new school year, but it doesn’t mean you have to go broke. This year, Missouri will have their annual Sales Tax Free Weekend Holiday Friday, August 3rd through Monday, August 6th.
Shopping during the Missouri Sales Tax Free Weekend is a great way to maximize savings on school items. Stores are already discounting school supplies, clothing, and computers for this time of year—bring your savings up a notch by also shopping during this weekend.
I will unfortunately be in New York City for BlogHer during the Sales Tax Free Weekend, but best believe I will leave my other half with a list so he can purchase our daughter’s items and take full advantage of no sales tax.
Please keep in mind, in the state of Missouri, the Sales Tax Free Weekend is only for the following items:
It’s no secret that I love social media. I also love teaching others about social media so that they can use it to their advantage in whatever business or endeavor that they are working on. I will be speaking about the wonderfulness that is social media at St. Louis Comptroller’s Office’s workshop series and community initiative entitled ‘INC Yourself’ at St. Louis Community College on Thursday, July 19th from 5-7pm. The event will be held at STLCC’s William Harrison Education Center .
INC Yourself is a program created by St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green’s office to help energize and motivate local entrepreneurs. A lot of people want to start their own businesses but don’t have the tools to do so. INC Yourself is built of empowering people who want to go from working for someone else to creating their own businesses and income. I will be co-teaching the seminar with Business Coach Sandra Marks of Marks & Associates, who encourages people to take their passions and create a business.
The workshop is free, but you have to register in order to participate. To enroll, call 314-984-7777.
I will be on hand during the event to tell my story of how I have used social media to build the “empire” that is The Cubicle Chick.
I hope to see you there!
