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...

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...

Logo Lecture

I got great comments on my last post when I asked readers to guess what the mission was of the company whose logo I featured. For one thing, no one got it right based on the graphics. Second, the response was that even after readers went to the website, they still...

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...

Solitude. Who Needs It?

My friend and colleague Lynne Marino (in the bright red jacket--her signature color) recently shared an article that had inspired her--a copy of a lecture by William Deresiewicz, a Yale professor,  given to a West Point plebe class last March. It was entitled...

Want to See Perfection?

I followed a link from my online reading of the NYTimes yesterday to a website called hippopota.com. The Home Section had featured Christian Jaillite's photo (left) of a child's stuffed hippo toy in its Kids column. It made me want to learn more. I was awed by the...

What’s the Price of Entry to Be a Remarkable Woman?

$50. Compared to the price tag to be a Davos Man, it's a steal. I was absorbed by a recent article in the Times by Andrew Ross Sorkin entitled A Hefty Price for Entry to Davos, the 'heady power gathering' of the World Economic Forum, a Swiss nonprofit founded by...

Have You Even Asked?

Just back from meeting someone new for coffee and recognized a theme in our conversation. This wonderful woman entrepreneur had a great idea. She had found a location to house her concept that absolutely lit her up. The cost of it was discouraging, but we talked...

Clarity, Integrity, Vulnerability. Oh, My!

I met with a couple of women yesterday to compare notes on how we're using social media. It's a forum for discussing challenges and raising questions, plus some show and tell. It was only the second session for this evolving group; the format hasn't standardized...

And Now, the Rest of the Story

For those of you who have been following my mistaken pedicure appointment last week, here's the last chapter. I got my free pedicure yesterday, and what a treat it was. I shared the whole blog story with Monica, the woman at my feet (!) who delighted in hearing...

Insider Secrets – How I Prep for Presentations

I'm honored and thrilled to be the EWN keynote speaker next Wednesday at the Norwalk Inn. I've been a member of the organization for 20 years. This is my first time ever speaking at a lunch event. Today, with so many things shut down due to snow, is the perfect...

341 Does It Again

Who could turn down an invitation "to an evening that will make you Healthy, Wealthy & Wise" and additionally recommends wearing comfortable clothing because you never know when you will have to stand on your head? Certainly not me, and especially not when the...

“What’s NBC?”

If you grew up in the 50's and 60's like I did, you remember that there were three major networks and then the lesser places on the dial--like Channel 5, 9, 11 and 13. That was it. We knew what the channels were, where they were located on the dial, and what...
