Inspiration Friday — 10 Lessons from Tiffany Shlain – Founder of The Webbys

I was inspired by the great presentation by Tiffany Shlain on lessons of life!

I’ll share by favorites!

1. Know what you want and know when to walk away.   You won’t succeed at everything.   So know which things to stick with and which things to throw over!
2. Be over prepared.   Enough said!
3. Think outside the box.    Tiffany shared a story about how she didn’t like to negotiate so she had folks email her “alternative email” so that she could negotiate in a  different voice.   Think about different ways to be strong!
4. Renegotiate your definition of success.   It does change throughout life!
5. Negotiate boundaries with technology.    Tiffany and her family turn off all devices one day a week — their family’s new favorite day!
6. Whoever throws out the first number loses.    (Her freebie!)
7. Always use the Love Sandwich approach.   Start with the good, what “they” will get.   Add in the middle what you want — and close with the “what they will get”
8. Seek advice from a diverse group of people.
9. Workout your courage.  It is like a muscle that needs to be exercised.
10. Have fun and constantly be changing!
