November already–wow! Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween–mine was very quiet. I am in San Diego and no one knocked on my door! I am speaking at the San Diego Women’s Network tomorrow evening on How to Market on a Shoe-String Budget and am really looking forward to it. I really believe in women running their own businesses and certainly having high level influence in companies they work for.
Breast cancer month is now over but don’t forget to keep getting your checkups. It will save your life. I am going in for my first surgery this Friday on the new procedure I told you about, so wish me luck. I had great determination to be at the gym first thing the next morning, but they have warned me, I won’t be working out for a week. We shall see. I do have my great-grandson’s birthday party over the weekend, and I intend to be there with bells on.
Everybody be sure and vote tomorrow. It’s our right and privilege to do so. Whether you agree with what is going on or not, it’s your responsibility to have your say. Isn’t it terrific that we can do that? Think how many people don’t have it.
Spent the weekend really studying all the information I’ve collected on mission and purpose and why I’m here. At this point in my life, I just want to give as much as I can to help women get where they want to go. So remember, if you have questions for me, just send them to gayle@spunkyoldbroad.com I love hearing from you and seeing what’s on your mind.

Question and Answer:
Q: I’m really good at talking with my friends, but when I find myself in a social situation that I’m not familiar with, I clam up. How do you keep up the pace with everyone else and not feel like a third wheel?
A: Everyone likes talking about themselves, so start asking questions about them. Where do they work, what are their hobbies, where did they go to school, what about their families, movies they’ve seen, books they’ve read? You get the idea. When people are busy talking about themselves, they think you are the best conversationalist in the world. All of a sudden, you start thinking of things to chime in with and begin to feel very comfortable. Try it, it works!

Tips:
1. Dressing in monotones always works. Just dress it up with great accessories.
2. Smile and extend your hand first and you will always make people feel comfortable.
3. Make a list of all the things that drain your energy, and start to eliminate them one by one.

Dr.Gayle you were great last night at the San Diego Women Networking meeting. Thank you for your ideas from a woman’s perspective.
I am also inspired to be a SOB in my own right. You are an inspiration… Thank You!
I look forward to your newsletter and staying in the conversation with you.
Hugs,
Robin
