Episode 25: ASP Pod #2: The Writing Process

In this episode, I explore the general writing process—whether it be for class, your profession, or something else--and share my specific experience with writing throughout my career. 

Many people don't account for the fact that much of the writing process is actually thinking. Before you even put a pen to paper or your fingers on the keyboard, there are several steps that many people don't consider or may not be aware of when they begin.

In fact, in my experience, there are approximately seven steps to the writing process, all of which must be completed to produce a complete and well-written document. Listen to find out what steps are involved to achieve the best results.

I hope you find this episode informative and inspiring as you embark on your next writing assignment!

Episode 24: Work Funk And The Spring Doldrums

The latest episode of Your Work Block is out, and I hope you’ll find this topic inspiring.

In this episode, I address a common feeling I've observed among business owners and students in the early spring months here in New England.

I describe it as a sense of "funk" or malaise brought about by the often gray, wet weather. To combat this feeling, I offer five simple but effective tips to help you shift your ways of thinking and achieve higher levels of productivity.

Join me as we uncover ways to navigate periods of low motivation and find renewed energy in our personal and professional lives.

Episode 23: Success is a Choice: How to Manifest It

In this episode, I talk about a grab bag of different concepts, with the idea of success being the unifying thread. Specifically, I explore the idea that success is a choice, not just something that happens to certain "chosen" people. I touch on the topic of how your mindset drives your vision of success as an entrepreneur and use different strategies (such as meditation) to control how your incoming thoughts and emotions affect your manifestation of success. 

Join me as we consider what success means to each of us individually and how we choose to pursue it in our personal and professional lives. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 22: ASP Pod #1: Law School Learning and ASP Thoughts

For this episode, we’re introducing a new concept for law school students.

If you’ve been listening for a while now, you may know that I have begun teaching at UNH Franklin School of Law, both as an adjunct professor for professional responsibility, the ethics course for law students, and also in the Academic Success department.

While my podcasts will continue to be aimed toward business professionals, I am also pleased to add another resource specifically for law school students.

Please share with anyone you think might find this valuable. Otherwise, stay tuned for the next episode, where the focus will be back on the business owner!

Episode 21: Time Blocking: The Art and Science of Making Your Time Work for You

In this episode of Your Work Block, we dive into how to make your time work best for you. Some call this the practice of "time management," but I don't really like thinking about it that way. We cover the basics of time blocking, how to be as accurate as possible with your time blocks by getting "real" with your time, adding "buffer" time, and more. Listen to find out how to effectively structure your day to master your to-do list in the time you have available.
