5 Ideas to Network Virtually During a Pandemic

August 7, 2020 By Lisa Shorr Leave a Comment

How are you Virtual Networking ?I truly hope this latest message finds you and your family well.  I don’t know about you, but I feel like I am still in a surreal state of mind.  My family and I are taking many precautions to stay vigilant and safe.  We instill these same protocols for my IT business too.

While waiting for my daughter to complete a ballet audition, I opened NYTimes.com and read a recent and interesting article (or it became a couple of articles) on the unintended phenomenon of how the “Patagonia Vest” has defined an industry and became a status symbol. The article, which is a critique of a new fashion exhibit of artist Simon Denny also focused on how Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s blouses and scarves came to represent Global Capitalism.  In case you are interested, check out: “Tech Bro Uniform Meets Margaret Thatcher. Disruption Ensues.”

With piano solos and pointe shoes tapping in the background, I marveled at how powerful a single article of clothing, such as Patagonia’s vest can define an industry and actually work against an intended mission. [Read more…] about Why Patagonia Said No To A Sale

Resilience should have been Grandma Belle’s middle name, however. At the time, she and my grandfather were building a business together selling skincare products.
