Extra. Ordinary.

Extra. Ordinary.

On Saturday, my friend Alece, came to stay with me and go see the Help Haiti Live Compassion benefit. Needless to say we had a great time. The concert was incredible. And I absolutely adore spending time with Alece. She is easy to be around, smart, authentic, and just a little sassy. But do you know [...] [...more]

Formula for Assertive Communication

Formula for Assertive Communication

Today I am contributing to the Cultivate Her blog. Below is a preview. You have to hop over there to read the whole thing… When I was in school, I was kind of a “crammer.” You know…I’d wait until a few days before the test, try to jam everything I might possibly need to know into [...] [...more]

I Wish I Could Say…

I Wish I Could Say…

…that this year is off to a slow start. But, well that is just not the case. I can’t believe how much has already happened in 2010. And get this…it is only January 13. Here’s a quick peak into my last few weeks: We introduced a new social media hub for Thomas Nelson. The goal is that this [...] [...more]

“Always Give God The Glory”

“Always Give God The Glory”

This video kills me… It kills me because even though I agree with everything Colt shares, it usually quite awhile after my dreams are shattered to remember to “never question why things happen the way they do” and to “always give God the glory.” I am so impressed with his maturity and his boldness. Go Colt…you will [...] [...more]

Now, Discover Your Strengths

Now, Discover Your Strengths

(Check out Spence talking about them here and Jenni talking about them here.) Here’s more information about StrengthsFinder from Strengths.Gallup.Com “Hide not your talents. They [...] [...more]

Catalyst ‘O9, Quick Highlights

Catalyst ‘O9, Quick Highlights

I went into Catalyst with some incredibly high expectations. And I did not leave disappointed. I left exhausted, like every ounce of me (body, soul and mind) was stretched to the absolute limit, but not the slightest bit disappointed.

Catalyst ‘09, Here I Come

On Tuesday afternoon I am headed to Atlanta for Catalyst ‘09. I can not wait. This will be my first “full” Catalyst experience (I attended the One Day this Spring) and I can’t wait to soak it in. The Catalyst Conference is the largest gathering of young leaders in the country, but it pains us to call [...] [...more]

Not My Finest Moment

Not My Finest Moment

So, it is time you all found out the truth about me. I used to be a serious bully. Really I was. I made kids cry at school, for sport. Check out this video for my “bully” story. Cultivate Her – “Bullies” from Jenni Catron on Vimeo. Pretty painful, huh? Not to excuse my behavior, but the truth [...] [...more]

Who Moved My Cheese?

Luckily, I have always been someone who embraced change. I say luckily because my world has changed a lot. Over the last 32 years, I have changed schools, cities, workplaces, job functions, homes, cell phone numbers, and friends. My first real experience with change was when I was elementary school. My family moved the summer between [...] [...more]
