When I teach the marketing module in my Soul Proprietor's Formula for Building Your Business, I begin with a conversation I once had with my good friend and illustrator, Maggie Swanson. We walked regularly when we lived in the same neighborhood and shared...
Although I had never heard of Kevin Hart before last week, I was riveted by his podcast interview with Marc Maron which I had recently downloaded. My daughter Laura has been listening to Maron's podcasts for a couple of years and had raved about the depth of those...
I'm currently attending a fascinating and worthwhile program called Immunity to Change being held at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge. Today was Day 2 of a 3-day workshop for facilitators, and facilitated by the creators and authors of ITC as it is called...
One of the first women I met when I joined EWN 20 years ago was a powerhouse business owner named Joan Cavanaugh. At the time, she owned a publishing company called W.J. Fantasy, Inc. which produced fine paper products--Advent Calendars, Games, Books, etc....
The Enterprising Women conference I spoke at on Wednesday was inspiring from the get-go. Lynn Robinson, pictured here, was the opening keynote speaker. She addressed the topic of using intuition in business in a way that underscored every belief I've ever had and...
I received a straightforward email recently from a long-time subscriber who clearly stated that she 'cannot stand' my recent email marketing campaigns; that she will stay on my list only if I go back to my old way of coaching. I politely invited her to select which...
I had the opportunity to tell my favorite college professor, Jim Cavanaugh, about the course I'll be taking in Cambridge in a couple of weeks. It's called Immunity to Change and deals with, as the title implies, resistance to that difficult transition we're so...
Over and over again I'm reminded of the power of resiliency. When I was studying relationship and systems coaching a few years back, one of the big takeaways from my instructor was this: the difference between competence (skill level) and mastery--that je ne sais...
An unusual kind of bonding went on last night during my Remarkable Women's Network event. As each woman business owner introduced herself, she also mentioned her own particular brand of gremlin voice. Heads nodded as one woman talked about having to be perfect,...
I've just returned to my office after a networking coffee date with Christina Frei, and rather than being exhausted on a Friday afternoon following a busy week, I'm exhilarated. I'm still marveling at how this whole afternoon materialized. I'd received an email...
One of the most telling comments I've remembered over the years regarding 'the voices' we (all) hear in our heads was the speaker who suggested to skeptics, "You know...the voices. Like the one speaking to you right now saying you don't have any voices in your...
While on the Holistic Holiday at Sea a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of hearing many experts speak. One of the most compelling classes I attended was titled The 5 Essentials of Health given by Christina Pirello. Her own personal journey to health is amazing....
Here's one I'd never heard before. As I've mentioned, I'm incredibly excited to be speaking at the Stamford TEDx event next month. I had a conference call with the organizer yesterday, and the question of attire came up. Now, I've heard of casual, black tie,...
I am not happy with priceline.com. I booked a 3-star hotel in Boston near the facility for my coach training this weekend. When I mentioned where I was headed to a good friend who used to live in Boston, her words to me were, "Be careful!" Not what you want to hear...
