#MediaMonday – Meghann Finn Sepulveda
Those of you who know me, know I am all about the West Coast. It is, after all, the best coast, according to Snoop Dogg. But, every so often, I make an exception to be friends with an East Coaster – especially if that East Coaster came to her senses and now lives on this […]

If you read the Phoenix Business Journal regularly, then you’ve probably noticed a new name attached to several stories – Steven Totten. A fellow ASU graduate, he headlines this week’s #MediaMonday profile, our weekly columns dedicated to telling the stories of the media rather than just pitching to the media. Think of it as your […]

READ MORE#MediaMonday – Danielle Accovelli
Having grown up in north Scottsdale (Go Huskies!), I am obviously a bit partial to news from the area – in fact, I am obsessed with it. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I run to my computer on the first of each month to download all of Scottsdale’s great magazines and read them even […]
READ MOREThe Growth Mindset on the Job
Last week, HMATime introduced the concept of the “fixed mindset,” based on my recent HMA Book Club selection, “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.” If you remember from the post (available here), someone who has a tendency toward a fixed mindset feels that he or she must always be perfect; never ask for help; get […]

READ MOREHow the Heck are YOU Getting THERE in Five Years?
Every month or so, we are pleased to go all Oprah on our readers and followers with our HMA Book Club. Because I like interactive books and because February is my turn to read a business and/or communications book and report on it to the group (and all of you), I chose Dan Zadra’s “5: […]
