Tackle the “Some Day” List Now

October 9, 2012 by Lisa Gerber 13 Comments

I’ve had Evernote on my devices for a few years now but I never understood all the hype about it until I learned how to properly set it up. These videos on The Secret Weapon helped me to do exactly that. It’s changed the way I organize my personal and professional life. The idea is […]

Prepare to Become an Outstanding Public Speaker

October 4, 2012 by Lisa Gerber 10 Comments

I’ve spent too many hours sitting through mediocre presentations in my lifetime, so I’ve been giving this topic some serious thought. Public speaking is nerve wracking. It takes a lot of work, and whether you’re new or experienced, the feeling doesn’t dissipate. I’ve only done a handful of speaking engagements so I’m far from an […]

The Grass is Greener Underfoot

October 1, 2012 by Lisa Gerber 42 Comments

Today is my first day back as the owner of Big Leap Creative and I am rather giddy with excitement. I’ve left this blog highly neglected during my time as chief content officer at Spin Sucks and I make no apologies for it. That was a great adventure; and one where I learned a ton. […]

You Are Here. Now.

April 9, 2011 by Lisa Gerber 4 Comments

I woke up this morning with anxiety. I’m missing one of my favorite days of the year at home; closing day of the ski season at Schweitzer. I couldn’t get the images out of my mind; my friends, and all the locals out on the sunny slopes, stopping for beer at the shack at the […]

Skype Kisses and Text Hugs

March 7, 2011 by Lisa Gerber 6 Comments

long distance relationship

We debate the definition of sausage on skype chat. We have a dinner war on facebook, we kiss each other goodnight on facetime. We say good morning every single morning via text. Sometimes, we even video skype and work, without talking. It just makes us feel together. We tried skyping with the dogs but Jackson […]

Embracing Big Change in 2011

December 23, 2010 by Lisa Gerber 6 Comments

There I was, alone in the middle of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington State. I was perched on a ledge, negotiating my next step as I scrambled up the steep and rocky Aasgard Pass. The lake was straight down below me and the ridge top straight up above me.  Six miles into my 18-mile […]

Why I Fired a Travel Writer

December 2, 2010 by Lisa Gerber 4 Comments

I know I promised to blog more in a recent post. But I’m also a big fan of a balanced life and my client work has taken priority, as well as playing in all this amazing snow with my husband and dogs, so my blog has suffered. In my defense, I have done two speaking […]

Location-based Marketing Made Easy

October 15, 2010 by Lisa Gerber 2 Comments

Claim your business page, claim your business page.That was the theme of my presentation yesterday on the subject of location-based marketing. Realizing that it is difficult for small businesses to dedicate time and resources to creating a presence online, there is a huge opportunity for you to engage with your customers and potential customers where […]

Brand Loyalty – What Really Matters

October 12, 2010 by Lisa Gerber 7 Comments

Cup of Coffee by naotakem It all started with my morning coffee. I make Peet’s coffee at home because I love the taste. It has nothing to do with the packaging, and whether it’s noisy or not. It has nothing to do with the logo, and whether I like it or not. It’s because it […]

Changing Habits to Grow the Business

September 27, 2010 by Lisa Gerber 10 Comments

I’ve been struggling with my entrepreneurial spirit. A loss of focus, and clarity on my next steps to grow my business have given me time to pause, and allow myself to get caught up in working in my business and not on it. (Therefore, I’ve neglected my blog of late.) I am an accidental entrepreneur […]

What Others Are Saying

Thanks to Danny Brown for listing Lisa as a top 5 blogger to watch in 2013:

I first got to know Lisa Gerber from working with her when she was part of Arment Dietrich, and I knew then that she was a smart cookie… Her blog (has) become a staple part of my reading diet.
