Take a look at your business now that we're halfway through 2018 Attend a reunion Go on vacation That's my short list of what many entrepreneurs do in June. Weddings, graduations, and Fathers Day may have been on your list, if you quantify things like this, but...
I made a mistake. A dear and trusted colleague contacted me last fall and offered to nominate me to attend an expensive event in May. From the get-go, my ego inflated and I thought, She's nominating ME. I must really be something! There weren't a lot of details...
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your level of politeness to telemarketers and customer service reps? I used to hover between 0 and 4 depending on my mood that hour. Not something I've been proud of, but I'm trying to change. The Universe presented me with...
Last Friday was the 9th Annual Women in the World Event at Lincoln Center. I'd passed by the crowds entering the David Koch theatre several times since I've lived in the city. This year, when the notice went out, I decided to invest ($400 per ticket). The day was...
Very early on my enlightenment journey I listened to cassette tapes - that'll date my journey for sure! - where Wayne Dyer told a story about 'fan' mail from two particular sources. (Maggie, this one's for you!) One wrote to tell him that he was the biggest phony...
I'm changing banks and was at the new branch office this morning for 90 minutes to open my accounts. Standard. I had allotted plenty of time for this activity. My Financial Services Rep dialed HQ's to get further information. The recorded message that came over the...
On every application form I send to prospects I ask, Is there one skill or ability you'd like to develop that would take you to the next level? Over 80% of the responses I receive include 'more confidence' which surprises me. The women who choose to work with me...
For months in 2008, my mastermind group encouraged me to start a blog. Let me set the context here in a time where blogs are now everywhere. It would be the equivalent of my saying to you, my audience in 2017, that you should start posting on snapchat. You've heard...
I know there are classes you can take to pump out your book in a week, a fortnight, or "6-weeks to writing your bestseller." I had all that optimism when I enrolled in Ann Randolph's Take Your Story to the Stage in June, 2014 at Kripalu. Three-plus years later, I'm...
From August 18th - August 25th I will be attending a silent meditation retreat and will be completely off the grid. I will leave emergency numbers at the front desk and surrender my iPhone. In addition, we're advised to avoid reading, keeping a journal, receiving...
I always read the Times obits. But I'm particularly interested when there's a name I recognize, like earlier this month when a write-up about Fred Leighton caught my eye. I'd recently recalled his name in my memoir draft because I'd bought the gown I'd be married...
I had a business class professor who answered tough questions with a smile and this quote: "As it says in the Talmud, 'It all depends.'" Here's an example of how prescient those words still are. I just celebrated my 1st anniversary as a member of the Writers Room...
I'm thrilled to be offering my premiere coaching program--a Mastermind Intensive--in NYC this coming fall. I've been leading these elite groups in Westport, Connecticut for many years now and want to bring that offer here to my new hometown. Finding space for this...
I don't know how you are about having your headshot taken, but chances are, it's not high on your list of priorities. Yes, we see your candids all the time on Facebook, but you may be more like me on the professional side and put off updating your marketing images...
