I've been a fan of Susan Keane Baker since we first met at an NSA-NY Chapter meeting in NYC at least 15 years ago. Class acts have a way of being class acts from the get-go. Susan's brand experience is excellence, depth and connection and she's delivered that...
He said so, as quoted in the New York Times, when recently interviewed by Oprah at a benefit event held at Lincoln Center last week. Why do I love reading those words? It makes me feel connected to greatness. It makes me feel normal for having the same feelings. It...
I'm thrilled to report that my first free webinar last week attracted over 50 participants and that every space available for my upcoming program sold. In my own business and the businesses of my colleagues, and what I see in the world at large, we must keep trying...
I'm beyond excited about presenting my free webinar tonight. Those of you who've been following this journey--I started taking classes on how to do this whole thing back in July--have heard me whining, listened to my starts and stops and are now witnessing my...
The weather couldn't have been better for touring New Haven on Saturday for their 14th Annual City-Wide Open Studios event. I saw great art, met really terrific people and got into the spirit of navigating that city to explore artists' studios. One of my favorite...
I'm thoroughly enjoying the biography of Wendy Wasserstein written by Julie Salamon. I've always felt a special connection because we were in the same Theatre 145 class at Mount Holyoke College in 1967. Also, we shared a mutual friend in Aimee Garn who is quoted...
I was just talking to my webinar accountability partner, Sandy Weiner, on our check-in call. It's been a gift to have someone there witnessing my progress as well as reporting her own. I'm inspired by her initiatives, and vice versa. As we were scheduling our next...
There was a sign posted in the lobby of my building this summer advertising "Yoga by the Pool at 8:30am Saturday mornings." I took note of it and thought, "I'd like to go, but I have a standing activity at that time on Saturday mornings." Two weeks later, I passed...
I use mailchimp.com for my online marketing campaigns. I used to use Constant Contact, but on the advice of my virtual assistant, mailchimp has more capabilities, so I switched. I was looking around on it today at some recent activity and saw this message along...
"Oh, hello Oprah. Yes, can I call you back? I'm in the middle of my Come As You'll Be event." I explained to the assembled superstars at my networking event that now, in the year 2016, I have limited my coaching practice to the most successful women entrepreneurs...
The musicians on the #1 train were all business. Four well-dressed gentlemen, each with his own instrument, stood in my car near the closing doors. They waited politely until everyone found a seat at the 50th Street Station. They played one very lively and tuneful...
I attended my first 341 Studios Fresh Intelligence Roundtable Series almost exactly a year ago--late September 2010. I was so knocked out by the power of that event, I wrote a gushing love letter blog post for all to see. Not surprisingly, the women at 341 were...
I just left my Remarkable Women's Network event, checked my BlackBerry and saw the NYTimes news alert that Steve Jobs had passed away. My heart did a little dive and my stomach feels jittery. I'm sad. An era has ended. We have lost a major contributor to life as we...
I rely heavily on Scarlett De Bease of Scarlett New York for advice on my wardrobe. She's created a look-book for me, which means that every time I need to go out in public and look presentable, I have a photographic album of outfits Scarlett has assembled for me...
