While I was writing today's blog about collaboration, I went to my image resource for a photo of an iconic partnership--a couple photographed from behind with the sun beaming rays all around them, or something similarly inspiring. What I repeatedly found was...
Monday was impossibly rainy and everything that happened up until about 4:30pm that afternoon made me want to crawl into bed and pull up the covers. The big check I've been waiting for didn't arrive. A speaking engagement I thought I had booked fell through. A...
After a Compo Beach walk Sunday morning with a coaching colleague who was struggling to define her perfect client, I saw this florescent tag sale sign en route home. It immediately grabbed my attention. It was bold, it said what it was offering and pointed where...
I walked the EWN Expo Monday night and felt the supercharged energy of the room as I strolled from vendor to vendor. The hotel meeting area was populated by women I've known, coached and socialized with, but this night was different. Here they were with their...
Here you see Liz Flavin, a business owner who participated in three of my mastermind groups over a period of a couple of years, looking radiantly beautiful and wearing her products--gratitude bangle bracelets and necklace. This image is scanned from the latest...
...about my final training for relationship coaching this weekend was a revelation made by the co-leaders near the end of the session. This was our second course led by the same two leaders, David and Sandra. Their compatibility in the front of the room set the...
I'm combining business with education this weekend. I was hired to give my Distinguished Speaker Series talk for ASID-New England at the Design Center in Boston on Thursday. We worked it out so that I would come when I needed to be in Boston for my Organization and...
I had the good fortune to meet Robin Lange, owner of iYogaStudio, at Erica Green's event last Friday night. Robin conducted an abbreviated yoga class that got us relaxed and more flexible for the evening ahead. We chatted over Erica's delicious squash soup and...
I accidentally attended five different networking events last week. I say accidentally because they weren't all labeled as such. Monday night was a birthday dinner for a friend and client. I met eight women I hadn't known before. Friday night's event was for the...
Fine Arts Photographer Donna Callighan and I go way back to early EWN (Entrepreneurial Woman's Network) days in the 90's when her shingle read "commercial photographer." I'm sure she did at least one of my head shots back then and definitely helped my success by...
I've attended several networking groups over the past few weeks and met lots of new people. It's especially good to get "out there" and interact with other folks who are also "out there." I have a hunch many people are hiding, not circulating and/or waiting for...
Brad Isaacs and I offered 20 men and women an Invitation to Get Real this past Saturday at the Fairfield Library. We promised to give them an experience and, boy, did we! I outlined in the opening of the program that we would take them through a process to reality...
I just got this great mailer and wanted to share it for several reason. First, I recommend that all of my clients send out letters to their sphere of influence to let them know when something new is happening. It's appropriate to do this when you're in any...
I had the good fortune to meet Sandy through an introduction by Pearl Mattenson with whom I attended most of my core curriculum coaching courses (that's a mouthful). We connected immediately and soon Sandy began attending one of my Mastermind Groups. Now she's...
My client Jessica Bram's book Happily Ever After Divorce: Notes of a Joyful Journey is on the bookshelves now. But in a couple of weeks Jessica will have the official launch at Barnes & Noble in Westport, CT where she'll give a talk and sign copies. I know...
