#BWENY 2012

I just wrapped up my first visit to the BlogWorld Expo 2012 in New York City and what an experience it was.  I didn’t quite know what to expect, except that I would be meeting and learning from a lot of like-minded individuals who love to blog, and the companies that want our business.  I attended quite a few sessions but the following three really stood out for a few different reasons.

The Tao of Tabatha

Don't call her "sweetheart" unless you're aimin' for a trainin' in business etiquette. Tabatha Coffey means business and whether it is a beauty salon, a car dealership or even a 99cent store, she could whip any business into shape.

I was semi-swept up into the Coffey universe, ironically enough, because I happened to catch the season 1 episode of Shear Genius from which she was kicked off in 2007. I had not seen any of the earlier episodes nor had I watched any after this one episode, but I was impressed by Tabatha's comments about her teammate Tyson and their subsequent elimination from the competition due to "poor teamwork".  The irony of her lose was that she was a fan favorite. In 2008 she was approached to host Tabatha's Salon Takeover on Bravo.
