Executive Order Brittany Singer

Alex Gilbert is an advocate and consultant for adults with learning disabilities, namely ADHD and dyslexia. For those who were diagnosed as children, schools are equipped (or should be let's be honest) to support children with their disabilities. However once out in the professional world those resources dry up. Alex wants to change that and to acknowledge how much of a super power those 'disabilities' can be.

Who doesn't have a camera roll on their phone bursting at the seems? Or a bin of photos stashed away in the attic or basement (or guest room, office, hall closet...)? Orit Lagnado is a photo organizer and imparts so much of her wisdom on how to tackle those photos once and for all and be able to enjoy them rather than just store them.

Tara Shea is a virtual assistant who was often asked how she created her virtual assisting business. It didn't take long for her to realize the potential to expand her business to training other women to start their own virtual assisting businesses. She talks about how she managed to stay on top of her client's work load as well as create this new arm of her business and brand. Go figure, organization was the key in keeping it all together!

Cam Petty Palmer chats about creating community within your industry and embracing the idea of sharing resources and knowledge rather than competition. She also talks about the inevitable the moments you want to walk away and give up on your business, the occupational hazard of wanting to spend so much time working on and in your business, and she shares her big revelation to step back and take care of herself before all else.

This week Brittany chats with Melissa Rohlfs of Free2Be Coaching about taking time to work on ourselves in order to work on our business. They talk about emotional eating, coping mechanisms, asking ourselves questions (and listening to the answers), and meal planning to fit any schedule.
