Emily Bennington and I Gab “Who Says It’s a Man’s World”

By Alexia Vernon | February 20th, 2013

“Ambition gap, schmambition gap, ” begins Emily Bennington in her new, must-read book, Who Says It’s a Man’s World. “Women aren’t 16 percent of board directors and corporate officers because the other 84 percent don’t want the job. Obviously, there’s something else going on.” Emily has triggered a new and necessary conversation about how to [...]

What’s Intruding on You Owning Your Personal Power?

By Alexia Vernon | January 23rd, 2013

Although I haven’t wanted to say it aloud, it’s undeniable. I’ve been feeling funky in 2013. I’ve been nourishing myself with great projects, juicy reading material, healthy plant-based food, a lot of echinacea, ginger, and throat coat tea through bouts of laryngitis, an upper respiratory infection, and the flu, and yet I’ve been a little, [...]

Transitioning from 2012 to 2013 “Lex Style”

By Alexia Vernon | December 26th, 2012

As a general rule, I resist rituals. I find that going through the motions of anything day-to-day, month-to-month, or year-to-year – be it eating a standard breakfast, maintaining a specific exercise practice, or closing out the year a particular way – does not serve my desire to cultivate presence and spontaneity…keys for bang-up communication. While [...]

10 Truths and 1 Fat Lie

By Alexia Vernon | December 13th, 2012

After a period of excessive productivity, public interaction and attention, I typically have a tremendous desire to get quiet and go within. I’m currently cocooning after such a period. At the beginning of the month I had the privilege of co-organizing and co-hosting Las Vegas’ first TEDxWomen event, pictured on the left. This week I saw [...]

Are You Speaking the Right Love Language to Your People?

By Alexia Vernon | November 28th, 2012

This passed Thanksgiving weekend was one of my favorites. I went the better part of four days without cooking a thing. I got caught up on movies. Completed a lot of prep for the TEDxWomen event I’m hosting, TEDxFremontEastWomen. But most importantly, I indulged my preferred love language – quality time. If you are unfamiliar with [...]

How to Use Creativity to Spark High Performance

By Alexia Vernon | September 5th, 2012

What do Google, Nordstrom and Zappos have in common? Not only are each of these companies regularly on national lists for best companies to work for, but each company also provides employees with regular opportunities for creative thinking outside of their primary projects and responsibilities.

Make Gratitude Your Attitude in Communication

By Alexia Vernon | August 9th, 2012

This has been a difficult week for me. Two of the dearest men in my life both unexpectedly wound up in the hospital by the end of the day on Monday. Between my maternal instinct to heal and fix and my high sensitivity to my loved ones’ suffering, I depleted much of the energy, attention, [...]
