My next coaching community call will be on December 6, and the topic is Remember What it Was Like to Work for Someone Else. As I was pondering this subject matter, a scene from Kramer vs. Kramer popped into my head. It's when Dustin Hoffman sits down with a yellow...
Two women drive 30 minutes to visit a store that had recently been recommended. It's a gorgeous, sunny New England Tuesday afternoon. It's almost noon, they park, walk to the shop and see this sign on the door. For those of you who may not have the opportunity to...
It didn't take Lisa Corrado long to decide that being in business for 10 years was worthy of celebration. Her Mastermind Group urged her to nail down a date and get the invitation out to her happy clients and supporters. Selfishly, we all wanted to party with Lisa....
