I got a chain email from a dear friend today and I love the message in it.

I think we could all use a reminder to walk away from people who don’t treat us well and unnecessary negative drama in our lives. If there’s anything the coronavirus has reminded us of it’s that anything can happen to anyone at anytime. It’s reminding us of what’s important and real because everything else is just filler.

For anyone who has been through tough times recently like me, this spoke to me, and I hope it helps you too. Don’t ever let anyone take away your sunshine. You don’t need anyone to be happy and happiness doesn’t come easy all the time – for some, happiness is a choice.

  1. I’m continuing to run the Women Who Wow series throughout the year because Women’s History Month was shadowed by the COVID-19 outbreak and there are just too many great women to fit in the span of 30 days.

Today’s Woman Who Wows is Robyn Addis, the Chief Operating Officer at Legal Internet Solutions Incorporated, and has a long career in operations and marketing. I met Robyn like I met so many others in this series, through our volunteer work for the Legal Marketing Association.

Learn more about her.

It’s been a big adjustment for all of us to pivot from commuting each day to work to working from home. Add kids and pets to the mix and it can be even harder to concentrate and be productive in your new makeshift work environment.

We have each had to adapt quickly to our new normal. Here are a few ideas on how to work more effectively no matter where you are but especially from home and actually get stuff done.

I know it’s tough being cooped up at home for most of the day and night for weeks, likely months on end, and life has slowed down dramatically, especially on the weekend (what day is it anyway?). That’s why it’s important to keep yourself busy and engaged while abiding by social distancing rules.

Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Law360 recently published an article of mine, “Don’t Be Social Media Distancing: LinkedIn Tips For Lawyers” that I wanted to highlight on the blog. These tips can be used by lawyers and other professionals for appropriate brand building and marketing during the coronavirus outbreak. I live in NYC, which has seen the most cases of COVID-19 in our country, and it is a very strange and sad place to be right now.

Here’s an excerpt of the article:

I started the Women Who Wow series to coincide with Women’s History Month, but since news related to COVID-19 has consumed us, I’ve decided to continue running the series throughout the year, because there are just too many amazing women to fit into one month.

One of those amazing women is New York-based Brandie Knox, the principal and creative director of Knox Design Strategy. I met Brandie several years ago through the Legal Marketing Association, and we hit it off right away. I admire her for her entrepreneurial spirit, her creativity and her kindness.
