I am a firm believer that we all have specific strengths and abilities and that if we focus on those strengths we can do truly phenomenal things.  It doesn’t matter if those amazing things are on a global scale or are done at home.  What matters is that those skills are developed and used to make a difference in a life, whether it’s one life or 100 or 1,000!
I’ve been blessed throughout my life to be surrounded by women who have made a difference. Â These women have freely shared their talents with me and helped me to see that we all have something within us that sets us apart and that when developed, really allows us to “shine”.
One of my colleagues {{love surrounding myself with positive women!}} has taken her particular set of skills and talents and found a way to help women in the online world learn the skills that they need to take their blogging to the next level through blog conferences {Bloggy Boot Camp} and blogging tutorials on Women Get Social.  She and her partner, Francesca Banducci, believe in tangibles and provide attendees to their conferences and website with ideas that they can take home and implement on their blogs immediately.  Tiffany was a first to found a one-day, inclusive blogging conference that is affordable and travels around the country each year.  She knows that relevant speakers are key, that networking is important and that providing an atmosphere where women can feel comfortable learning while spreading their wings is key and she provides that.  That’s just one of that ways that Tiffany “Shine’s” and one of the reason’s she’s My Nomination for the Yahoo! Shine “Women Who Shine” Contest.
