Dispatches from the 90 Days 90 Ways Book Tour

By Alexia Vernon | May 9th, 2012

It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks. I went from hosting the 19th Annual CUNY/Creative Arts Team’s New York City Student Shakespeare Festival back to Las Vegas to “rest” (if rest means prepping for a book tour, gearing up for Moxie TeleCamp, and leading leadership and communication training for new nurses), and then was off [...]

I just peeked at the registration list, and although I don’t know the majority of the ladies [...]

How Can I Pick Your Brain, Lex?

By Alexia Vernon | April 27th, 2012

You are likely reading this post because we connected at an event, you have read my writing, or a mutual colleague or friend of ours suggested you reach out. And I couldn’t be happier that you did. I love sharing my career and life journey – how I left full-time nonprofit employment to launch my [...]

A 90 Days 90 Ways – Moxie Collision…And How I Walked Away Unscathed

By Alexia Vernon | April 25th, 2012

I have been talking a lot lately. For those who know me that may not be too surprising. It’s rare to catch me without some opinion on a topic. But since the end of March, I’ve been gabbing in front of audiences larger than my clients, colleagues, and friends…at least 3 times per week. And [...]

5 Sentences I’m Hungry to Speak

By Alexia Vernon | April 4th, 2012

Last week I did a lot of scripting. Although I had plenty that should have kept me firmly rooted in the present – last-minute 90 Days, 90 Ways book launch prep (more on this next week!), Moxie Camp speaker liaising, and so forth, all I could think about were the home invasions that have been [...]

How to Know When Coaching is the Answer

By Alexia Vernon | March 28th, 2012

I’m two weeks into working with the inaugural cohort of Influencer Academy, and I’m grateful to be facilitating a program that makes me feel so alive and on purpose.

When Are You Going to Make Peace With Your Hypocrisy?

By Alexia Vernon | March 21st, 2012

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I thought to myself as I was driving home earlier this week. I was listening to a story on NPR about a young man who came home after serving in Iraq, started questioning the legitimacy of the war, became active in the anti-war movement and then…went on back to [...]

Sometimes When S/he’s Not Listening…S/he’s Listening

By Alexia Vernon | March 1st, 2012

Last week I was engaged in a conversation that made me want to run home, climb into my jammies, and retreat in my bed…for years. I was pulled into a conversation by a colleague who wanted to talk smack about another person who I think the world of. It was less than 24-hours before opening [...]

Do You Feel the Urge to Vomit in Your Mouth When You Speak?

By Alexia Vernon | February 22nd, 2012

As I rose from my chair, I could feel sweat collecting at my temples and in my armpits. My chest thumped so quickly I was sure the room of my colleagues could hear it. As I uttered, “Welcome,” my voice began to quaver and I tried to put my attention equally on suppressing my desire [...]
