I attended my first 341 Studios Fresh Intelligence Roundtable Series almost exactly a year ago--late September 2010. I was so knocked out by the power of that event, I wrote a gushing love letter blog post for all to see. Not surprisingly, the women at 341 were...
I just left my Remarkable Women's Network event, checked my BlackBerry and saw the NYTimes news alert that Steve Jobs had passed away. My heart did a little dive and my stomach feels jittery. I'm sad. An era has ended. We have lost a major contributor to life as we...
On a regular basis I'm asked, "Do you miss doing your art?" The answer is "no," but today I heard a perspective that articulated perfectly why I don't. I was being interviewed by Patrick Kiger for secondact.com, a website devoted to helping people over 40 with all...
Can you imagine going to Russia, learning the language and starting your own business there? That's the equivalent of what Alfya Murtazina did. (Yes, I know that Russia hasn't got quite the entrepreneurial support systems that we do, but...) She arrived here,...
My client's subject line in her email to me was--You won't believe it! But she was wrong. After listening to Earl Nightingale's gold-record-winning tape called The Strangest Secret many years ago, I've become a believer. I'm never surprised when I hear that what...
