A Vision Realized

On Monday night over 30 women gathered at the magnificent Eileen Fisher store at the Westchester in White Plains, NY. These were women business owners who came from three states (NY, CT and NJ) to meet other remarkable women and exchange ideas and inspiration. Here...

Do You Need a Burning Bush? I Do.

Even with taking the month of August off, changes are happening in my business. I'm beginning an alliance with a company I highly admire. We have our first event at the very end of the month which has already sold out. I love everything this company stands for, a...

Who Gets to Dance

I got an SOS call from a colleague asking for feedback on a client situation. She's a successful photographer who had just completed a head shot assignment (150 miles from her hometown). She had emailed the final images to the art director for the brochure he was...

Tonia Mattu

I know I mentioned the joy I had assisting at the CTI course in NYC in early July and want to elaborate on the quality connections I made in those three days. I have had meaningful follow-up conversations, emails and get-togethers with several of the men and women...

The Hungry Thief

I had a super consciousness raising weekend starting on Friday when I attended a macrobiotic conference in Palisades, NY. The opening lecture, Living from the Soul, was given by Tom Monte who connected how we eat with our thought patterns. You can visit his site...

I’m Practicing Receiving

I am overwhelmed by the response to my request for feedback on my headshot. The request to you came out of a coaching session where I was encouraged to allow myself to be the center of attention--a place that does not come easily or naturally to me. I love the idea...

Passion as Starting Point

After a full day of assisting a coach training program I hopped the subway to my hotel, made a quick wardrobe change and took another subway to NYU where I was hosting a table for Women In Communications (WICI) at their Night of the Coaches. This was a brilliantly...

The Funny Thing About Energy

Thirty-five women filled Artifact Design Gallery Wednesday night--my 3rd Remarkable Women Networking event. The place was abuzz with the energy and enthusiasm of these amazing women. Photo - Owner Elizabeth Clark (right) above with ASID-CT Past President and...

Beware the Empty Well!

My daughter and I went to J. Crew a few weeks back where an old acquaintance recognized me and said hello. I couldn't identify her at first--that's how long it's been--but as soon as she re-introduced herself I had an immediate internal feeling that was a tad...

Transitioners Transformed

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...

Am I There Yet?

A frequently asked question among my clients is, "I set a goal to: Earn $10,000 per month Get 5 new clients Start a new business But I only: Earned $2500 this month Met 30 people, two of whom are prospects Enrolled in the WBDC Fast Track program "Did I fail?" Even...

We Survived the Santa Barbara Fires

Brad Isaacs and I had our first West Coast offer of an Invitation to Get Real workshop scheduled in Santa Barbara May 7--last Thursday. Amidst reports of wild fires, we drove down the coast (from Brad's home in San Luis Obispo) only to see the city obscured by...

Duh!

My fabulous Monday Transformation through Transition group met this week. I gave two participants, who are considering going into business together, the assignment to form a Partnership Alliance. This is a tool I learned from my organization/relationship coaching...

What’s Hard

Each of us has lessons to learn at any given time in our lives. The Universe delivers opportunities often cloaked as annoyances or challenges calling us to take the next step in our development. It's very easy for me to see and coach others' growth edges. It's not...

Time Debting

I remember in my early parenting days hearing moms complain that all their two year old would eat was hot dogs and spaghetti. I tried to picture the toddler shopping at the A & P and filling his cart with Hebrew National franks and Ronzoni pasta. Of course, I'm...
