I'm in Sarasota, FL this week visiting friends and taking a break from the winter weather in the Northeast. I had two invitations to visit good friends with homes down here, and I jumped at the opportunity. Linda Koe (pictured with me here) and I met several years...
There comes a time in every entrepreneur's life when she has done EVERYTHING possible to make something work and it's not happening. Take my fiber artist client for example. She is having her graphic look re-designed, and it is in the hands of the branding expert...
One of my coaching clients, Inga Poslitur, expressed the entrepreneur's experience so well. "It's like a roller coaster ride: as you are getting to the top of the hill the train slows down and you really feel gravity. But as soon as you are rolling over, the speed...
Heading out to Newark Airport yesterday I sat in a packed shuttle making its final stop to pick up passengers. The ticket collector seemingly quite harried as she marched up and down the aisle counting empty seats while barking at us to have our stubs ready to hand...
My friend Mike, who has defined himself in many ways throughout his entrepreneurial life, is on the road a lot dealing with clients. When someone asked him recently where his office was he replied, "In my pocket." Like so many of us, the BlackBerry or however you...
I know this is supposed to be the most joyful season of the year, but wherever I go, I hear supporting evidence that it can also be the most challenging. Like Thanksgiving, the perfect holiday may be elusive to many. Here's what some of my close friends and...
I knew I couldn't pack one more thing into my day Wednesday, so I pulled out a notecard to let interior designer Olga Adler know that as much as I'd love to see her holiday table arrangements at Juliska's flagship store in Stamford, I was going to have to miss it....
What I love about events like the EWN Holiday Expo this past Monday night is that I can set up my display then stand still while the crowds move around me. It ran from 6 - 9 pm, and I had nothing to do but (wo)man my booth. I enjoy meeting business owners who are...
I just got off the phone with a client and wanted to share an issue (with her permission) that came up. It has a very familiar ring to it. I know it will benefit many of you, especially with the holiday season upon us. She talked about a closed door on the subject...
I took away great value from my short stay at Kripalu a couple of weeks ago, especially in the area of accepting what presently is in my life. In a 1-hour session on mindfulness with Randal Williams, I heard much to reinforce and to help deepen practices I've been...
At one of my first EWN luncheons ever I sat next to a self-employed career counselor who told me that every six weeks she took a week off from her very intense schedule. Since she was her own boss and was responsible for her calendar, it made sense that she could...
A new client sent me a link to the documentary film by Pamela T. Boll (pictured above) about women who are combining motherhood and creativity called Who Does She Think She Is. I intend to see the film asap for two reasons. I am a fan of anything that encourages...
After an extraordinary dinner sponsored by the Founder, Publisher and VP of Boardroom, I chatted with Marjory Abrams (the publisher) and invited her to my next Remarkable Women's Networking event. She attended one last spring and really enjoyed it. "I'll have to...
On Monday night over 30 women gathered at the magnificent Eileen Fisher store at the Westchester in White Plains, NY. These were women business owners who came from three states (NY, CT and NJ) to meet other remarkable women and exchange ideas and inspiration. Here...
On October 1 I will have the privilege of addressing all the women attending the Convention for Re-Invention--a day long program put on by Idea Group Productions at Water's Edge Resort and Spa in Westbrook, CT. I'll be sharing many of the lessons I've learned as a...
