Although I had never heard of Kevin Hart before last week, I was riveted by his podcast interview with Marc Maron which I had recently downloaded. My daughter Laura has been listening to Maron's podcasts for a couple of years and had raved about the depth of those...
I received a straightforward email recently from a long-time subscriber who clearly stated that she 'cannot stand' my recent email marketing campaigns; that she will stay on my list only if I go back to my old way of coaching. I politely invited her to select which...
When Meredith Gray, a good friend and Artsy Girl, recommends a video I take it seriously. She's a former magazine editor and fashion stylist. I find her taste level and aesthetic impeccable. She responded to my cry for help from my sickbed last week asking for...
After many months and many meetings and many decisions, the new janepollak.com is alive and well and hopefully worth your valuable time and attention. It feels as though my last website went up only weeks ago, but it's been six years. It was time for something new,...
At last night's mastermind group, during the first round of sharing successes, photographer Katie Settel took her turn with pride and delight. Her goal had been to photograph Beyonce's new baby. We all supported the dream she had laid out in session 1 (this was our...

When I spoke for the Women's Council of Realtors in September, I gave out three copies of my CD How I Got on the Today Show to winners of the Networking Bingo game we played. One of the recipients, Birgit Anich, took the time to send me not only a beautifully...
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...
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...
