The Creativity Yenta™ Just your average sexy force of nature!™

While in a more intelligent world (ha!), this article about people being haunted by all of the insane sh*t they post online, would not have to be written (duh!), I can personally guarantee that several hundred (really, hundred thousand) will read it and be shocked, shocked; while, and this might be worse, another hundred or hundred thousand, will think, "well, that doesn't apply to me," and blissfully continue to post nekkid pics of themselves; pics of their drugs; racist/retarded status updates; various illegal activities; their support of Michele Bachman...etc.

True story: I interned once for a certain (in)famous NY Senator (not the naked one, BTW) and a fellow intern, showing me his Facebook page, which seem primarily composed of photos of him doing keg-stands or smoking blunts, or having sex, casually told me---WITH A STRAIGHT FACE--that he planned on holding elected office one day. Elected office in the United States of America, to be clear. Not in like the Sudan, where the Internet probably only works every third year. Those poor people are probaby looking at "I can haz cheesburger" postings from years ago...

Now, to be fair, given some of the political scandals that have erupted in the past few years, I'm sure a few of you are all, "....so, nu?" Right, but you still have to be electable before you can destroy yourself, yes?This troll truly didn't get it; he thought his photos were fine, totally fine, what's the problem?

Some of my various mens might read this post and giggle, since I myself have not always acted super appropriately when it comes to the Interwebs and modesty. On the other hand, 1) those photos are hot as hell, son (trust me!) and 2) I'm self-employed! I'm not running for office! Loving me means loving all of me!
I'm not going to be shocked, shocked when "someone" (cough cough) sells those photos to the tabloids...not like the people in these articles who are posting photos of themselves with guns, or naked or whatever and then applying to corporate America for jobs.

What The 99% Thinks:

"Carlota Zimmerman (Indiana Law ’07) is one of those students who goes on to inspire and teach the teacher. Carlota is an artist who relentlessly pulls on the strings of honesty and creativity. This choice requires tremendous courage, character and persistence. Through her writing, coaching and creativity endeavors, Carlota has a knack of helping us ask the hard, existential questions about our own settled worldview, all the while making us laugh. How do we really feel? Are we playing it too safe? Are we proud of the compromises and tradeoffs we are making? As someone teaching in a law school, I think these are the right questions, at least to live a full and meaningful life. I look forward to learning more."

-- Professor William D. Henderson, Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

“Carlota keeps it real! She is simply awesome! She wants her clients to succeed in reaching their full potential, as this is seen through her passion and enthusiasm. In seeing all Carlota has achieved and created for herself, she inspires me to want the same for myself. Carlota allows you to open up about how you feel, and where you want to be. She provides great insight and honest critique meant to bring out the best in you. We are all capable of reaching out fullest potential, but sometimes we need that extra push to realize it. Carlota is that push, and sometimes a good kick in the ass!” -Aaron Schane

"You probably knew this, but I'm going to share anyway: you own the market on this creativity yenta-ness. My Yiddish sucks, and when I Googled this, it's all you. Damn woman!" -Jessica Reagan

"...one of the snappiest-written blogs out there!"-Alison Potvin, http://www.kiva.org/lender/alisonpotvin

“Carlota is quite the unique professional trainer and coach. It would be unfair to pigeon-hole Carlota as a “Career Coach” as she inspires people (clients and friends alike) to achieve their optimal results whether that correlates to business or non-business objectives. Carlota possesses a diversified background in the news and entertainment business as well as being a published playwright and the holder of a Law degree. These traits contribute to her success in motivating people to achieve their best. All in all, Carlota cares and thus comes highly recommended.” -Phil Z.

Karin Torres: "So, I was offered an exciting gig and was asked to let them know, 'how I wanted to be compensated.' Just what everyone wants to hear, right? However, there were a lot of factors involved...and I knew I only had one chance to get it right. Immediately I thought of my friend Carlota Zimmerman. I knew she had the experience, giftings and professional know-how to assess all of those factors. More importantly, I knew that she would have my best interests at heart-not allowing me to sell myself short, but also keeping me focused on where I might need to sacrifice to get future business. In short...she helped me come to a decision that I am comfortable and confident about. We all need to draw from each other's experience, abilities and gifting to find new creative ways to make it in this economy. I needed a professional sounding board and specialized guidance...she was the first person I thought of."

"As a freelancer/small business owner, it can be overwhelming trying to get your information out there...especially when you have a very limited advertising budget. Carlota literally held my hand and guided me through the world of social networking, teaching me how to use this technology to promote my business....She is more than just a creativity coach, she has become an inspiration and a friend. If you value your business/career, you should consider hiring her." -Margie Bresciani, www.margiemakeup.com

"I have never known such great devotion to make the most out of any situation. No matter the circumstances, there is always the desire to move forward in anything and get the best out of every person. Faithfulness, commitment, persistence, endurance and even a sense of fun are always present. But enough about The Kitten: Carlota is great. In all seriousness, Carlota's mentoring and coaching have been an invaluable help for us. We cannot say enough about how helpful she has been and we would gladly recommend her career coaching services to everyone. Thank you again, Carlota." Dom Travano

"You effin' ROCK!" -Kalleen H.
