I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!! In the past couple of weeks, I have read many conversation threads, mostly with bloggers, which boil down to one word…authenticity. How do we define it? Some of the questions which have jumped out of these threads for me personally have been: Can I be an authentic person blogging…
I admit it… I have been hard on J.C. Penney’s since they changed leadership. HERE and HERE are two of the last posts I wrote which primarily focused on the advertising campaign and their decision to not have sales.
