By Carlee Mallard, on November 2nd, 2010% Happy birthday to me.
No more early 20’s for me. Today I’m 25 years old. They say that my brain should be fully developed by now – that I should be the person I’m likely going to be for the rest of my life.
I finally know who I am, what I’m not, what I value and what I don’t, who matters & who doesn’t, and what work I’m passionate about. Of course none of this happened overnight. I didn’t just turn 25 and everything became clear. No, but I do think that a lot of this discovery took . . . → Read More: Happy Birthday to Me! (and my blog)
By Carlee Mallard, on July 1st, 2010% What I learned on Social Media Day (June 30, 2010)
Yesterday was Social Media Day, as pronounced by Mashable. I only heard about it a few days earlier and I really wasn’t sure what the purpose of a Social Media Day would be, even after reading Mashable’s explanation. But as someone who is, I’ll just say, interested in social media and its future, I didn’t debate whether or not I would participate, but rather debated which local event I would attend.
There were two haphazardly organized events: the first one at Campbell University’s business school nearly an hour from . . . → Read More: Lesson From Social Media Day: I’m An Expert, Too
By Carlee Mallard, on June 20th, 2010% Sometimes you need to step away from the daily grind and try something new. That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing the past month:
Spoke at an “unconference”. As my most recent post stated, I gave my first presentation to a group of about 15 product developers, product managers, and others after giving a quick 20-second pitch to a group of about 100 at ProductCamp RTP on May 22nd. It was a fantastic success. I learned a tremendous amount about my own public speaking skills as well as learning how to teach and/or explain an idea to a group . . . → Read More: Mixing It Up
By Carlee Mallard, on April 20th, 2010% With all this talk about the legality of unpaid internships, I started wondering where unpaid work (not specified as an internship) would fall in this argument. Where do you draw the line between doing work for free and for a fee?
Otherwise You Have to Pay Someone Else
Perhaps we draw the line between work that benefits us as individuals directly as opposed to benefiting another person. For example, most of us clean our homes, cook our own food, plant gardens, write our own resumes, do our taxes (arguably beneficial), raise our own children, and paint our own toes; . . . → Read More: 3 Reasons To Work For Free
By Carlee Mallard, on April 14th, 2010% Today goes on record as the first Guest Post over here ever. Hopefully it’s not the last, either. This is a different type of guest post, though. Over at 20-Something Bloggers (www.20sb.net) they decided it would be cool to pair a bunch of us together to take over each others’ blogs for one day. Today is that day. So here we go!

Well, hello there! Fancy meeting you here. My name’s Heather. I’m an artist in the process of learning to embrace my often scatter brained and temporarily unstable self, and I am totally usurping the lovely Carlee’s . . . → Read More: 20SB Blog Swap: Fizzle
By Carlee Mallard, on February 9th, 2010% I learned something about goal-making and goal-keeping this month. People don’t keep their New Year’s resolutions because they aren’t items that you can easily check off your list. They are too broad and too ambitious. Making long-term goals still have their place, but they don’t belong on a monthly goal list.
Therefore, I’m scratching January’s goals for now and starting fresh with February. This doesn’t mean that my January goals don’t apply anymore or that I’m going to forget about them, but I’m just going to move them to some storage area in my head where I can check . . . → Read More: February 2010 Monthly Goal Meetup
