What I Learned from Brian Tracy

While I did skip a few classes at InfusionCon, I made sure to be in a front row seat for Brian Tracy's afternoon keynote on Wednesday. He's a hero of mine. I listened to his audio programs (on tape!) repeatedly when I was sitting in my art studio for hours on end...

In Over My Head

I'm in Phoenix, AZ attending InfusionCon, the conference for users of Infusionsoft.com programming. There's a very sophisticated, tech-savvy population of marketers here who seem to be using the program phenomenally well judging by the enthusiasm level and results...

Different Take-Aways

Lots of thoughts streamed through my head as I put together folders for my newest Mastermind Group that started Wednesday night. I got a kick out of how my marketing materials have evolved over the years. I love how I'm able to put a branded label through my...

Do You Know Your Life’s Purpose? Harriette Does!

During the final session of my winter Mastermind Group, I had participants close their eyes as I read three visualizations. We then debriefed each woman's to establish a Life Purpose statement. Here's what happened with Harriette Trevino, co-owner of Bull's Head...

You Can Change the Conversation

I hate negativity. I attended a lunch meeting last week with people I'd never met before. There was an informational component to the event, then Q+A and discussion among the participants. In my mind, it quickly devolved into an ain't-it-awful session on the woes...

Lauren Agnelli – Finds Bliss

What kind of kid were you? How did you build the confidence to find your bliss? Are people a part of your bliss? Who were your mentors or inspirations? Do you have a guiding philosophy? These are some of the preparatory questions Lauren Agnelli, the creator and...

Hard to Be Entrepreneurial in Costa Rica

My intention was to blog from the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica where I spent a week last month. But the Universe had other plans, which it gently, then forcibly applied. Since I'm an early riser, I thought I'd post a blog or two during my stay before the morning...

Why You Need to Take a Vacation

I'm going on vacation soon. As I get ready, I realize how important it is to schedule time off. I had no idea what kind of a winter we'd be having back in October when I scheduled a trip south for February. Now that the date has arrived, I couldn't be happier. But,...

The Myth of Having It All Together

A colleague recently shared her young assistant's admiration. "You have it so together," the 20-something cooed. If only she knew, my friend thought to herself. Her second thought was, I'm glad I'm projecting that image. As a coach and active networker, I'm privy...

Fearless Fridays – Meet Kristin Andree

Many clients approach me with the decision to write a book. Kristin is the only one in my memory who got the job done within the exact targeted time she had scheduled--copy in hand! This is a remarkable, and I have to add fearless, achievement. There are so many...

Oooh! Shiny!

My client, Debra Hamilton who is a brilliant mediator with a special interest in animals, participated in the Annual AKC Dog Show recently held in New York City. During our call yesterday she used a phrase I'd never heard, "Oooh! Shiny!" referring to a new area of...

Big Girl Words

I have happily enrolled in a course offered by the WBDC which began this past Saturday. It's an opportunity for me to focus on my business and grow myself, a service I continually offer others without always giving myself the time and focus to stay current with my...

Want to Be Treated Really Well?

Little did I know when I told Erica Tannen that I'd like to meet her for lunch in New Haven that I was dealing with royalty. Erica, of the-e-list.com, is the doyenne of all good things along the shoreline in CT. She recommended that we meet at Heirloom, an...

Twitter – A Cautionary Tale

Jenifer Howard was the resident expert at 341 Studio's Fresh Intelligence breakfast event this morning. The subject was online PR, at which Jenifer is an expert. While she covered the gamut of online resources and outlets, she spent a great deal of time on twitter....

Opening the Kimono

Although I'd never heard the expression, "open the kimono" before, I got its meaning the second my coaching buddy spoke those words during our conversation a few years ago. He was about to reveal a bit of closely-guarded information, and I was being alerted to that...
