I had the immense privilege of hearing Rick Jarow speak at the Kushi Institute's Macrobiotic Conference. I haven't yet transcribed my notes from his talks (I attended all three he gave), but wanted to whet your appetite so you'll visit his site, order his books and...
I'm attending the Kushi Institute's Macrobiotic Conference for the next few days in Palisades, NY, and just heard Annemarie Colbin speak. She's the founder of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, plus author of multiple books on nutrition and...
One of the first questions I was asked Monday night during my talk at the Wilton Library was about social media--how much to participate and which venues to show up in. I drew from the wisdom of my daughter Lindsey who is not only a successful businesswoman, but...
It works every time. What's the first piece of mail you open, should you receive any, in your snail mail box? If there's something there that is thick and bulky with a first class stamp and a valued name on the return address, my money says that's what gets ripped...
My younger daughter Laura, to whom my book Soul Proprietor is dedicated, helped me out this week by listening to the soon-to-be-released audio version of the book. Line by line, she read the text while listening to the recording I'd spent the last couple of months...
In May I attended my first Savor the Success event in NYC--an all-day program called Rock the World, which I thoroughly enjoyed (and blogged about). Last night I went to the organization's monthly meeting hosted by founder Angela Jia Kim. The setting, 75 Wall...
I received an email this morning from a colleague I admire asking advice about speaking. It triggered my radar noting that this request for information about speaking comes my way weekly. So, I'm going to share with you what I shared with her. Most people who...
Until last year I had never heard of LeBron James, the basketball superstar who just made front page news by choosing to go with the Miami Heat. His name first came up when I was driving up the California coast with my coaching co-leader Brad Isaacs who described...
I consulted my BLOGWORTHY file this morning for inspiration. I often rip out articles from magazines and newspapers I read and tuck them into a file folder for future use. (I'm giving away my demographic, eh?) As I was thumbing through that collection checking for...
July 4 is my birthday, and I plan it very carefully. Having been at sleepaway camps for much of my youth, my summertime birthday often got glossed over. So, as an adult, I carefully construct my day to be everything I want it to be. (Note the underlying lesson...
It's not easy to claim a life as a painter, especially after 34 years of being the person behind the scenes. But that's exactly what my good friend and client Mary Quinlan has done. She spent her entire career encouraging young people to express themselves...
I had a conversation with a representative from Infusionsoft.com this week about how to work their system. It's a very sophisticated email marketing vehicle I just signed up for. Kirk opened the training call by explaining this image --how it takes the business...
On December 13, 1997 this egg I was commissioned to create was presented to concert pianist Adlan Cruz at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport, CT. The event was a fund-raiser for BCHC, an acronym I can no longer identify. I'm sure I heard some buzz after...
Two-hundred and fifty women received a postcard mailing from me last week announcing my upcoming summer Remarkable Women's Network events. It had the image you see here on the face of it taken at my March 15 event held at Boardroom in Stamford, CT. Only women who...
Rounding the bend on my morning walk today, with Paul Simon singing 'Old' on my iPod, I spotted my neighbor Mrs. Young, who will be 100 on October 11, arms lifted over her head with pruning shears, struggling to cut down a branch weakened from last night's storm....
