MORE Magazine Retreat

On my drive from Tucson, where the retreat was held en route to the airport in Phoenix, I saw a spectacular rainbow--in Arizona! Over the desert. Not what you'd expect. That pretty much sums up my fabulous experience at Miraval with 100+ MORE readers plus the...

Weekend Networking, Learning and Shopping

Yesterday was a glorious day in CT, especially compared to last Sunday when we were all cleaning up from that freaky fall blizzard and subsequent power outages. This day was sunny, blue skies and the perfect temperature for taking in a multitude of offerings. I...

Breakfast with David Gergen at the WBDC Event

There were 500 attendees to hear David Gergen speak yesterday morning at the WBDC's Business Breakfast entitled: Power, Politics & Purse Strings (giving it the female slant). Besides great networking, the spirit of the room and the opportunity to re-connect...

The Susan Keane Baker Brand – Always Inspiring

I've been a fan of Susan Keane Baker since we first met at an NSA-NY Chapter meeting in NYC at least 15 years ago. Class acts have a way of being class acts from the get-go. Susan's brand experience is excellence, depth and connection and she's delivered that...

Ralph Lauren is Scared Every Day

He said so, as quoted in the New York Times, when recently interviewed by Oprah at a benefit event held at Lincoln Center last week. Why do I love reading those words? It makes me feel connected to greatness. It makes me feel normal for having the same feelings. It...

Webinar Success!

I'm thrilled to report that my first free webinar last week attracted over 50 participants and that every space available for my upcoming program sold. In my own business and the businesses of my colleagues, and what I see in the world at large, we must keep trying...

Webinar Tonight!

I'm beyond excited about presenting my free webinar tonight. Those of you who've been following this journey--I started taking classes on how to do this whole thing back in July--have heard me whining, listened to my starts and stops and are now witnessing my...

An Arts-Filled Weekend

The weather couldn't have been better for touring New Haven on Saturday for their 14th Annual City-Wide Open Studios event. I saw great art, met really terrific people and got into the spirit of navigating that city to explore artists' studios. One of my favorite...

Even Wendy Wasserstein Had an Inner Critic

I'm thoroughly enjoying the biography of Wendy Wasserstein written by Julie Salamon. I've always felt a special connection because we were in the same Theatre 145 class at Mount Holyoke College in 1967. Also, we shared a mutual friend in Aimee Garn who is quoted...

Today’s Smile

I was just talking to my webinar accountability partner, Sandy Weiner, on our check-in call. It's been a gift to have someone there witnessing my progress as well as reporting her own. I'm inspired by her initiatives, and vice versa. As we were scheduling our next...

Goal-Setting and Persistence

There was a sign posted in the lobby of my building this summer advertising "Yoga by the Pool at 8:30am Saturday mornings." I took note of it and thought, "I'd like to go, but I have a standing activity at that time on Saturday mornings." Two weeks later, I passed...

Integrity = Scarlett De Bease

I rely heavily on Scarlett De Bease of Scarlett New York for advice on my wardrobe. She's created a look-book for me, which means that every time I need to go out in public and look presentable, I have a photographic album of outfits Scarlett has assembled for me...

Among My Guests Next Week…

...will be a future Nobel Peace Prize winner! Yes! At my Come As You'll Be event I will be host to the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Currently, she is a client of mine whose passion is leading mission trips to third world countries. She's been to Haiti several...

Set Those Limits

On a coaching call today the topic of setting limits came up, especially with children living at home. I told my client that when I began practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) almost 20 years ago, my instructor provided me with a sign to hang on the doorknob of...

I Can’t Wait to See You!

I've got three great offerings coming up this fall, and I'm really excited to share them here first. My final Remarkable Women's Network event for 2011 is Wednesday, October 5 from 5:30-7:30pm at Troy Fine Art in Southport, CT. The focus that evening is Come As...
