The Joy List: April 28
Hi everyone,
We don’t have a New Yorker of the Week today. Have a friend who should be featured? Forward them this form.
Now, onto the GIF and the fun things:
Have fun on your company’s dime
My new writing program, Make LinkedIn Weird, is something that you can use your learning and development stipend for!
Check out the one-pager for your company here, and the website here. I’d love to have you be part of it!
And if you work for yourself, you’re welcome, too. Write it off on your taxes!
PS. If the cost is an issue, shoot me an email.
Need a coach?
I just had a session with my friend and colleague, Nathan, today. I went in feeling SO overwhelmed by a tipping point in my business— and I left overflowing with ideas. Nathan is one of those rare people who brings business acumen AND a sense of spirituality. I can’t recommend him enough.
If you’re curious about working with him, he’s offering free one-hour sessions. Tell him I sent you! Yes, I get a referral. I only do that for people who are awesome.
Gatherings
Double check details before you go, and contact the organizers with questions! The Joy List does not run these events.
