The Brilliant Mind of Bryan Mattimore

My Mastermind Intensive met last Friday and had the privilege of hearing Bryan Mattimore's expertise on the subject of innovation and creative thinking. He's the author of Idea Stormers and a long-time business associate of mine. He graciously accepted my...

Choose Your Value and Watch What Happens

At my next Remarkable Women's Network event the focus will be on radical fulfillment. Sounds like a lot to accomplish in two hours, right? But it starts very simply by identifying what's really important to YOU. Easier said than done. How many times this week...

How Comfortable is Your Comfort Zone?

On Monday evening, September 29, I'm inviting Remarkable Women to answer that exact question. Is it really comfortable in there, or is it a hiding place and cover story that keeps you from what you really want in life? Several years ago I was coaching a...

Who Would Do This for You?

I'm in the process of applying to be a writer-in-residence for a few weeks this coming winter. The location is remote and far away. It is exclusively for women.  We each get our own cabin, write all day, then gather in the evening for community and support. Meals...

Talk About Passion!

Since speaking and writing about getting picked, I've become more aware of the invitations I've received from women business owners seeking my support and endorsement. I'm always delighted when successful women like Nancy Williams find me and my blog and view it as...

Wisdom from My Landlord’s Father

I rent space from Cynthia Overgard, President and CEO of HypnoBirthing CT. She has a warm and welcoming space in an office building well-located in Westport on the Norwalk/Westport line directly across from Whole Foods and Panera Bread and equi-distant between I-95...

Are You a Better Pick-er or Pick-ee?

I gave my first public talk last night about my trip around the world to a joint audience of Living All the Way and Ladies Who Launch members and guests. The response was thrilling, and the feedback extremely helpful. An experience I shared that was particularly...

My First Indiegogo Contribution

I've known Diane Ripstein since I joined the National Speakers Association in 1997. I knew that she was a communications expert par excellence. I'd seen her present to audiences and demonstrate her vast skills as a business leader and authority on the subject of...

How Do You Know It’s a Calling?

When I was a kid I thought that to be a grown-up meant knowing how to drive a stick shift car, speaking French and living in a Victorian. I realize these date me, but they represented a worldview that felt like it had my name on it. So did 'sailing around the...

It’s All About the Trip

With just one week to go before my departure, I've wound down my groups and have only a few more coaching calls before I climb aboard the MV Explorer in Kobe, Japan. My final preparations include getting my tax info off to my accountant, converting dollars to yens...

Field Trip to New Hope

December 23 was a dreary, rainy day, but Carol Schneider and I had it on our calendars to take a road trip to PA. We went in spite of the downpour--over 2 hours each way. We visited the picturesque town of New Hope, PA where there's a small, but elegant shop called...

Thank You, Nancy Moon!

Every month I invite an expert to address my Mastermind Intensive. Yesterday, Nancy Moon of MoonPR joined us and generously filled us in on how to get press in new day and age--through traditional and new media. She took an overwhelming topic and distilled it down...

Magical!

When I received the invitation to see Scarlett DeBease's holiday-decorated home, I knew I had to accept. Scarlett has been my image consultant for many years. She's come to my home over and over again, but I'd never been to hers. Her husband, Jack, takes Christmas...

Heather Habelka’s Red Poppies are Blossoming

I've been a fan of Heather Habelka, the owner of Red Poppy Marketing, for many years. I remember being impressed with her at the very first networking event where we met. There was a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that was inspiring. Our paths continued to...

While You’re Digesting…

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was perfection, meaning that it included the people I love (minus one sick grandchild and her parents), amazing food prepared by my chef nephew and my sister (at whose knee his passion was quickened), easy traffic to...
