Svaha: the time between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder
I will be eternally grateful for your great gift of taking in to the fullest extent what it is that I have to offer, living it, and then reflecting it back in terms of the potential experience of others. You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer, which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen, The Remembering Room, Richmond, Illinois

Working together was absolutely key, and I think that’s what made it such a great experience. I felt like you were my partner in this. I felt like my success was your success. To me, someone who has that attitude and the skills to go with it — that’s an unbeatable combination! — Daniel Stone, www.danielstone.com, Washington DC, New York City, Delaware, South Carolina, and India

I have a website I’m proud of — but for me, the hugest benefit has been increased self-confidence. Because of the process we went through, and the validity that came with the process, I trust what I think and I trust myself to speak about it. I have greater confidence and clarity in my message about who I am and what I do. — Bev Dwane AICI CIP, www.bevdwane.com, Durham, North Carolina

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post. Instead, I’ve been busy making long-overdue changes to the website. Finally! You’ll find content updates scattered throughout the main pages, including a reorganization of my Services offerings. The biggest change, in terms of both structure and content, is that I’ve brought my archived articles into a blog format of their very own. [...]

Last week, I renewed my fictitious business name. A fictitious business name registration lasts for five years. I can remember standing on line to register the name for the first time. Five years ago. It’s hard to believe. It’s even harder to believe that it’s actually been longer than five years since, like most people, [...]

Today my business was audited by the IRS. Of course it was absolutely absurd for the IRS to spend money on auditing tiny little excruciatingly honest me. And it was fascinating. To start with, the IRS man, who, since I didn’t ask permission, I’ll just call by his first initial – “M” – was very [...]

Look, I’m an intellectual and a geek, as well as being deeply spiritual and intuitive. That means that I may not always be as fuzzy and warm and welcoming as some people are. And it also means that I know what I’m talking about, I have a bazillion resources I can offer to you – [...]

So I’ve been missing in action on several fronts in the last few days. Here, on Twitter, and frankly, even in my own house. It’s all for a good cause. Because in case you missed it (though I’ve been talking about it on Twitter and elsewhere here), I’m teaching a class on networking. I’ve been reading [...]

Almost every time I talk about my business, I’m asked about the name: Svaha. It’s a great icebreaker at networking events. People squint at my nametag and start by trying to pronounce it (sss-vaaah-ha), and the conversation naturally leads to what it means and what I do. Many years ago, I read a book by Charles [...]

I don’t think I agonized as much over my first newsletter as I have over this blog. Of course, I knew almost no-one was going to read my first newsletter, whereas I’ve been talking about the blog long enough that there are all sorts of people (or so my fevered imagination is telling me) just [...]
