Today's P&C article about the conference...

Nice mention of Saturday's conference in the business section this morning. Read it here.

Next event: Women in Business conference, Charleston SC

Saturday March 29, 8am-2pm
The Center for Women and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce team up again to present Women in Business: The Power of Connection at the Charleston Area Convention Center. This conference integrates women business owners and professionals into mainstream networks and expands their business opportunities by providing direct access to successful business leaders in the tri county region.

I'll be leading two "Rules for Work" workshops during this one-day event and books will be available for purchase/signing. Space is limited and you can register at the Center for Women's web site or by calling 843.763.7333.

I heart Knoxville...

My first visit to Tennessee - loved it! The Women's Expo was a lot of fun...got off the plane and editor Janet took me straight there for hair, makeup and a tv appearance on WBIR's Style show. The reading/signing was on Saturday and I was backstage for a while with Bob Greene (though I was too nervous about getting out on this big giant stage with video screens to even speak to him...sorry, Bob!).

This is me with Janet Testerman, Skirt! Knoxville editor, waiting "backstage" to go on air with the Style show.

Janet and sales director Nancy Parrish took me out to dinner in downtown Knoxville Friday night for sushi and we had a lot of fun. Knoxville is a cool place!

Getting ready to sign books at the Skirt! booth after my reading. Yes, those are belly dancers looking for career advice.

Columbia College event...

I was in Columbia last week for "You First, Next Step," a networking event at Columbia College. Skirt's Columbia editor, Jenny Maxwell, tells it better than I can here (and there are pics from the event...I know, I look TIRED. It was early morning).

Thanks to Jenny and Tammie Willmore and all the amazing women who put the event together!

Next events: Columbia, SC and Knoxville, TN

Columbia: I'll be doing a Skirt! Rules for the Workplace reading and signing at Columbia College this Thursday, March 13, for "You First, Next Step." Check out a complete schedule or register online for the conference here.

Knoxville: A reading and signing at the Women Today Expo in Knoxville, TN (I go on right after Oprah's nutrition guru, Bob Greene! Very exciting...) on March 15. The Expo is from March 14-16, so if you happen to be in the East Tennessee area, sign up and come on down! My reading is Saturday the 15th at 1:30pm and I'll be signing books afterwards.

March is turning out to be a busy month!

From today's Washington Post...

An interesting piece by Deborah Tannen that says as much about women and our roles in the workplace as it does about the current political climate: Hillary Clinton, Through a Lens Wrongly

"This isn't about Hillary. Well, okay, it is.

But it isn't only about her. It's also about every woman who has ever been underestimated, failed to get credit for work she did or been denied opportunities to do work at which she would have excelled."

Read the entire piece here.
