Thank God Sam Horn wrote the book POP because owning it saved me from having to write down every word she spoke at the conference I attended last week in Waltham, MA. I knew that I would be able to look up the gems she shared and spend time mulling them long after...
I don't like to be misled. Like I was when I grabbed a mesh bag containing four avocados at Trader Joe's Sunday morning. I saw the RIPE label on the skin and thought, "Great! I'll use these tomorrow to make that salad I love." When I got home and cut the avocados...
Two years ago when I made my first blog entry, my dear friend, mentor and book proposal coach Lucy Hedrick said, "This is really good, Jane. In about two years, you're going to have quite an accumulation of material. Could even be your next book." I love Lucy. What...
I was helping my good friend Aimee with her vision statement over the weekend. For those of you who have never participated in this exercise, I highly recommend that you write one to give yourself clarity about what you want to have in your life and/or business....
Integrity - The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness. That was the first word that sprang to mind when I received an email this morning from 341 Studios announcing their new logo and website. They've done a terrific job of showing off...
One of my coaching clients, Inga Poslitur, expressed the entrepreneur's experience so well. "It's like a roller coaster ride: as you are getting to the top of the hill the train slows down and you really feel gravity. But as soon as you are rolling over, the speed...
The subject line of the email dated 1/2/10 read: OH MY GOD...I JUST GOT A LETTER THAT I THOUGHT WAS FROM YOU... and it was from Erica Green, a client who has become a dear friend. In many of my Mastermind and Transitions groups, I have the participants write a...
At one of my first EWN luncheons ever I sat next to a self-employed career counselor who told me that every six weeks she took a week off from her very intense schedule. Since she was her own boss and was responsible for her calendar, it made sense that she could...
I had the pleasure of receiving a copy of Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own by Robert Tuchman last week. Riding in on the train Thursday night from CT to NYC, I had the opportunity to finish the quick...
I had the most amazing opportunity this morning! As Speaker Chair for the upcoming WBDC Breakfast, I got to connect our stellar interviewer, Becky Surran, with our featured guest, Dr. Candida Brush, Division Chair in Entrepreneurship at Babson College, via phone...
I have to admit to experiencing a tad of schadenfreude (satisfaction over someone else's misfortune) when I read in this morning's Times that "Microsoft invested billions of dollars in those services and failed to slow Google's rise." Those services refers to their...
My first offering of Transformation through Transition ended Monday with successes and hugs. Six women began the process a month ago by sharing where they were in their lives/businesses with almost-strangers. Two women who already knew each other had the seed of an...
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...
