Webinar Tonight!

I'm beyond excited about presenting my free webinar tonight. Those of you who've been following this journey--I started taking classes on how to do this whole thing back in July--have heard me whining, listened to my starts and stops and are now witnessing my...

Today’s Smile

I was just talking to my webinar accountability partner, Sandy Weiner, on our check-in call. It's been a gift to have someone there witnessing my progress as well as reporting her own. I'm inspired by her initiatives, and vice versa. As we were scheduling our next...

Among My Guests Next Week…

...will be a future Nobel Peace Prize winner! Yes! At my Come As You'll Be event I will be host to the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Currently, she is a client of mine whose passion is leading mission trips to third world countries. She's been to Haiti several...

What Are You Majoring in This Semester?

It amazes me how my energy shifts from Labor Day Monday to back-to-work/school Tuesday. The last week of August and the days before the holiday weekend crawl. And then BOOM! It's business as usual, as though nothing has ever been other than business as usual. I've...

Post-Irene

I'm sure this finds many of you digging out from under, bailing out your basements or, like I was earlier today, searching for power and a shower. The Westport Public Library was closed. I got hopeful when I saw many folks spread out on the stone picnic tables with...

No Party Hats. I Promise!

Next Monday night I'm hosting an "office party" for all of my entrepreneurial clients who never get to go to office parties or company picnics. Depending on your point of you, this could be sad or lucky. In addition to providing a traditional get-together in a...

I’m Taking a Break

I don't do well at buffets. Talk about leaving money on the table! Too many temptations, not enough appetite. When faced with all those opportunities--antipasto, salads, entrees, cheeses, soups, veggie platters, not to mention entire dessert stations, I contract. I...

The Generosity of Michael Kors

I'm not a pop culture fiend, but have found myself immersed (albeit delinquently) in Project Runway. As an ardent patron of the public library system, I recently found dvd's of the first four seasons of that show. I know I'm light years behind those in the know. I...

Lifestyle Changes

I'm spending a few days attending the Kushi Institute Annual Macrobiotic Conference (my 4th) and learning a bunch of new things. Well, not actually learning them for the first time, but in a state of readiness and openness to try on a new behavior after hearing...

Spa for the Soul

I pulled out my calendar as soon as my friend Pam mentioned her colleague's offering called Spa for the Soul WOMEN'S RETREAT with the tag line: Join Barbara Biziou for a transformative weekend of ritual, healing and the Divine Feminine. Sounded like just what the...

Overheard at a Gremlin Tea Party

I invited two of my clients to let their gremlins have full rein at the beginning of our group's call. They each had a minute to let loose, and they did a beautiful job. My purpose was to allow the negativity to have its head, and then excuse it from the premises. ...

I Missed the Whole Thing. Or Did I?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jYypepBCyb4] At lunch over the weekend, my friend Carla mentioned feeling quite upset about the whole Caylee Anthony story. I innocently and naively stated, "I don't know who that is." Carla looked...

What Self-Care!

I flew out to Los Angeles yesterday for a family celebration this weekend. Across the aisle from me on my JetBlue flight was a bit of commotion. A young couple had noticed some empty seats closer to the front of the plane, which they proceeded to sit down in and...

A Magical Evening at Drew Lamm’s

"I suck at advertising," was one of Drew Lamm's opening lines last night to the group of assembled women. I could tell this was going to be a special event by the energy outside her purple front door. Women were pulling their cars onto Drew's quaint, narrow street...

They Don’t Need to Know

A strategy I learned quickly and well in my early stages of entrepreneurship was that I got to choose which 8 hours a day I work. (A snarky associate suggested it was more like which 20 hours she chose to work...) As an early riser, I often have more done by 9AM...
