What can I say? I love working with incredibly smart humans. I love to look at the big picture, build out a strategy, and only then dive into the tactics.

Feeling tired? Lose weight. 

Dealing with depression? Lose weight. 

Struggling in your marriage? Lose weight. 

Joints hurt? Lose weight. 

Crumbling under the weight of systemic sexism? Lose weight. 

It seems like the answer to every question for women is weight loss. 

Our guest today is Claudine Francois and we are talking about how to ditch fad diets and put your health first. Continue Reading Dispelling the Diet for Women with Claudine Francois – Episode #58

Here we are again at the start of another year. And as usual, I find myself enjoying the opportunity to think about what’s to come and what has passed over the previous trips around the sun.

While I’m not one for resolutions, I do think the new year offers space for reflection. It’s perfect for a review of successes, mistakes, milestones, and setting the next steps. It’s an excellent time to pause.

With over a year of the pandemic behind us, and an unknown future with the new variant, a topic we consistently see come up is returning to work and what the future of work will hold.

The discussion seems so focused on the business side and not on the human side.

Who is making these decisions and have they considered how it will impact the most important asset in business? The people.

If you have ever met today’s guest, you’d never have to question whether there is a human behind the decisions being made and you can guarantee that people are her number one concern.

We have had some incredible women on this podcast and as we prepare for the holidays, we want to take a minute to give a shout-out and support those women who are kicking butt this gift-giving season.

I am usually a last-minute shopper but this year I’m trying to be a bit more purposeful with my gifting. And, what better place to grab holiday gifts than from our Think Tank of Three guests!

Check out the Think Tank of Three gift guide for 2021!

I’m going to admit up front, that this is a bit of a rant. The beautiful thing about having a platform is that you can use it to share what peeves you in the hope that it provides a lesson to others. Or if it doesn’t, maybe it’ll provide some comic relief.

No matter what you do for a living, you are in sales. Everyone is selling. Always.

You’re selling an idea, a product, a persona, a brand, yourself. And it’s incredibly important to, if not understand how to do it well, then at least don’t do it so poorly that you embarrass yourself.

For the people who give sales a bad rap, I would argue that most of them are lazy. Sales is about the relationship and being lazy in relationships will fail you professionally.

This last year has been heavy. A global pandemic, political division, racial tension.

And did we mention the pandemic?

Today, Think Tank of Three is hitting the reset button.

You don’t always get to do that in life, but when you have a podcast for women, by women, you get to practice what you preach. And there is nothing we preach more than turning inward when you need it.

No matter how you look at it, the lows, the highs, we’ve all faced changes and challenges. But we’re still here and we’re here together.

If you’ve been a part of the Think Tank of Three tribe for a while, you might have noticed the crickets around here. During the last few months, we have hit some roadblocks and had major changes come into our lives. Instead of trying to push on through and deliver sub-par or half-assed content, we took our own advice and took a break.

But we have regrouped, brainstormed, made some changes and updates to the site, and are now back and working to bring you more support and empowerment from successful women in our community.

We still have a bit more work to do before we are able to share our newest guests and updated posts so sit tight. I promise new content is coming and we couldn’t be more excited for it!

To keep you inspired until then, we wanted to share some of the content that we’ve been reviewing and relistening to as we build back up to Think Tanking again. In the spirit of putting on our own oxygen masks first, we pulled some of our most popular posts on Self-Care out of the vault for you.

This is part two of a two-part series with Dr. Dorian Hunter. Welcome back to part two of episode #39.

We’ve had seven months now to get used to the new normal between the pandemic, life in quarantine, the mask debate, civil unrest, the kids at home, working remotely or trying to work remotely or not working remotely. The economy is shifting. The election is coming up and the news is constantly telling us it is the worst of times.

What the hell is normal, and how do we cope with a life that is so far from normal, let alone thrive?
