Can you believe we’ve already passed the halfway mark in April? Spring has definitely sprung in central Ohio with green grass and the beginnings of flowers in our trees and gardens. This weather is putting us all in excellent moods as we prepare for weekend fun!
Before heading out, be sure to take a look at this week’s #THRIVEable Friday from some great tips on Kanban Boards, leadership skills, and email etiquette. Plus…a great new app that will change the way you take notes on your iPhone!
Entrepreneurship…LIKE A BOSS.
Post-it Note Organization (aka Kanban Boards)
All those to-do lists you write could actually be how you visualize success. Kanban Boards are becoming more and more popular with entrepreneurs because they’re just so easy to create. You can create one anywhere with three columns “To-Do”, “Doing” and “Done.” What a great way to get things done AND celebrate your successes! Need a visual to understand what I’m talking about?

Leadership Skillz
Think you’re ready to be a leader? Think again…This week, Inc. shares a list of 7 Signs You’re Ready to Lead a Team. Some of these may surprise you (think: evaluation and organization), and some are pretty obvious, but still a good reminder. You can check out the whole list here.
Email Etiquette
Poll: How many times do YOU stop reading an email when you start seeing terrible grammar or no etiquette? According to a new study, more than 78% percent of respondents said that poor email etiquette impacted their decision to email with a stranger. That’s a big deal for us in the PR industry who talk with strangers every day!
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
Tired of taking notes with your iPhone Notes app? Let’s face it, that is one of the worst apps that we all just can’t quit. Letterspace might just be the gamechanger you need. It allows you to organize notes and even search by hashtags! Dude, when did hashtags take over the productivity side? #Amazing #Thrive
