Please, Judge This Book by Its Cover

#1 #2 I'm very excited to share my goal with you of re-publishing Soul Proprietor myself this spring. Kim Barron of New Leaf Design is creating the design layout and cover. Which brings me to this blog entry. Knowing the old saw about not judging a book by its...

The Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster

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...

Fearless Fridays – Rhonda Smith

No, the woman in this picture is not Rhonda Smith. This cigar-smoking Cuban native* is just one of the images Rhonda captured on her recent trip to that Caribbean island to re-awaken her creative juices as a photojournalist. Rhonda is one courageous woman. We first...

Great Way to Begin the New Year

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...

I Have My Rights

It all started when I noticed that my book Soul Proprietor had a different  jacket representing it on amazon.com. Then I saw that it was no longer ranked and that copies didn't seem to be available except through resellers. Odd, I thought. What's up? When I called...

Erica Green’s Big Connect

Last night over a 100 women came to the Fairfield Museum to be a part of Erica Green's dream event--The Big Connect. Erica shared her idea with me a year ago over lunch at Bloodroot (my favorite vegetarian restaurant). What's so great about her concept is that you...

A Happy Coincidence

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...

Carrie’s Vision Come True

I've been following Carrie Wittenstein's progress over the last few years. She was in one of my very first Mastermind Groups a few years ago when her dream of a 'nice' community was just a twinkle in her eye. During those early sessions Carrie would bring in logo...

A Fresh Perspective on Entrepreneurial Success

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’m So Proud!

Liz Ball, an extraordinary women in many ways, is among other things the owner of the Pierce Ball Gallery. We sat down together last spring to talk about the idea of exhibiting the work of the Artsy Girls, of  which Liz is a member,  in this beautiful space....

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...

Julie and Julia and Jane

I totally identified with the new Meryl Streep (my hero!) and Amy Adams movie that opened on Friday. We (my husband Buddy) and I were at the first matinee at the BowTie Cinema in Norwalk. I'd gone to a Times Talks event a few weeks ago to see a live interview with...

Betsy’s Big Vision

You can tell when someone is thriving. There's an aura about them, a strong sense of direction and engagement. That's how I would describe my client, friend and colleague Betsy Krobot who has been on a misison for the last several months to create a green vision in...

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...

5 Ways Not to Go To Yoga

In June I made a financial and management decision--words not usually associated with yoga (my first clue!)--to stop going to my beloved yoga instructor in Southport 6+ miles from my home. Those classes were intimate and there was plenty of space to stretch out....
