Rarely do I wish I was a man. Last week Mark Zuckerberg gave his first ever live Q&A and while he was asked really interesting questions about FB and diversity and especially about their computer science program “Girls who Code” one of the best and most telling, from my point of view, was the question […]
READ MOREWhy Accountants don’t run Startups
Do you wonder what is the role of an accountant? Like most every professions there are the accountants you want “on your team” and there are “the rest” I was recently at a Lean Startup event and they were telling the story of an MBA project taking place in a local university.

READ MOREYou mean it’s OK to say “ bum ”?
Last week my nephew came to stay for a few days. He’s 6 and the last thing his dad said was “Remember son, no rude words while you’re with your Auntie Ingrid” He’s a boy and he’s 6 and he loves saying all the rude words: bum, fart, poo and of course his dad doesn’t […]
READ MOREAn efficient way to deal with emails

READ MORELessons learned from the Nay Sayers of the world
There is a chapter in my book that is called “Lessons learned from the Nay Sayers” Over time I’ve learned that there are actually two types of Nay Sayer and I’ve learned: i. which Nay Sayer to listen to and ii. what parts of what they say are important. The garden variety “that will never work” […]
READ MOREAre you a Coulda Shoulda Woulda kind of person?
Coulda Shoulda Woulda The number of times I have heard someone saying “I shoulda done ….” They say, “I shoulda spent more time on preparing my presentation.” Many times I hear, “I coulda been ….
