Susan Harkavy

Malene Barnett raved about the PR person who recently helped her define the right market niche and figure out which media to pursue. Malene was so excited and motivated that I wanted to discover more about this wondrous resource. She provided me with an email...

Spend!

Although I don't like to admit this out loud, now is actually a good time to make a confession given the state of the world economy. I have trouble spending money. I would rather have money than spend it. I prefer to have a large bank account and watch the interest...

Time to Manifest

I can think of two clients off the top of my head who are on the verge of major success. In both cases the work is impeccable--one an author, the other an interior designer. Each has done everything humanly possible to get her message out to the public.  They have...

Greener Grass Syndrome

I received an email from one of my many creative clients who was suffering. She acknowledged that it was self-inflicted. She had just been online and found an artist's site she found enviable, which got her thoroughly depressed. The Internet makes it easier than...

Show Don’t Tell

I walked the EWN Expo Monday night and felt the supercharged energy of the room as I strolled from vendor to vendor. The hotel meeting area was populated by women I've known, coached and socialized with, but this night was different. Here they were with their...

Liz Flavin’s Journey

Here you see Liz Flavin, a business owner who participated in three of my mastermind groups over a period of a couple of years, looking radiantly beautiful and wearing her products--gratitude bangle bracelets and necklace. This image is scanned from the latest...

How Calvin Coolidge Inspired Robin Lange

I had the good fortune to meet Robin Lange, owner of iYogaStudio, at Erica Green's event last Friday night. Robin conducted an abbreviated yoga class that got us relaxed and more flexible for the evening ahead. We chatted over Erica's delicious squash soup and...

What Donna Accomplished

Fine Arts Photographer Donna Callighan and I go way back to early EWN (Entrepreneurial Woman's Network) days in the 90's when her shingle read "commercial photographer."  I'm sure she did at least one of my head shots back then and definitely helped my success by...

Sandy Weiner’s Wisdom

I had the good fortune to meet Sandy through an introduction by Pearl Mattenson with whom I attended most of my core curriculum coaching courses (that's a mouthful). We connected immediately and soon Sandy began attending one of my Mastermind Groups. Now she's...

What a Brave Woman Looks Like

My client Jessica Bram's book Happily Ever After Divorce:  Notes of a Joyful Journey is on the bookshelves now. But in a couple of weeks Jessica will have the official launch at Barnes & Noble in Westport, CT where she'll give a talk and sign copies. I know...

Why I Hang Out with this Friend

The Darien Starbucks was humming Thursday morning when my friend and I sat down for coffee. She is a financial whiz and also recently authored a book on interior design. We quickly dove into our own world of comparing notes, offering contacts and sharing war...

Arlyn Young – Artist

I've worked with Arlyn over the course of a few different Mastermind Groups and have seen an evolution and unfolding of her imagination and skills that reinforces why I do this work. I'm not sure if everyone has the 20-20 vision to see the artist inside the...

A Match Made in…Gameland

When my speaking colleague/coaching client Kevin Carroll mentioned a game he and his daughter invented, it wasn't much of a stretch for me to recoommend that he talk to Mary Ellroy. You may remember my mentioning Mary before in previous entries. Besides being a...

MOONLite-ing and Marriage

There are two cool things for you to discover in this entry: Nancy Moon's creative business offer and her applause-winning description of the outcomes from our goal-setting work together.  (Click here to get right to her video clip.) Because I surround myself with...

Sue O’Halloran’s Success

Oftentimes, my favorite client stories are about converts. Such is the case with Sue O'Halloran who attended one of my Mastermind Group series last spring. Sue has a huge vision for helping women toward preventive health care. This undertaking involves an enormous...
