Get Goal-Setting Advice

With All Due Respect…

I could be wrong, but my hunch is that most people who are reading my blog are not in mourning for Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett. I am truly sorry for their untimely passing and respect their hard-earned celebrity stature. There are many places where this topic...

Meredith Gray – NAKED

When Meredith signed up for my Transformations through Transitions group this spring her goal was to bring her breast cancer story to the public's attention. She talked about creating an advisory board--more like a support posse--which stimulated Meredith's drive...

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...

I Got An Award Wednesday Night

The New England Women Business Owners (NEWBO) honored me this week with its Woman of Distinction Award. I received the call from Gretje Ferguson--a member of the nominating committee-- back in the dark, cold days of February. It wasn't something I'd applied for or...

I See Susan Boyles Miracles Every Week

Having coffee with coaching colleague Susie Horgan is always a dynamic experience. We get together every few months to touch base, compare notes and get inspired. But last Friday's meeting at Starbucks was particularly charged. We danced around current projects,...

Spend!

Although I don't like to admit this out loud, now is actually a good time to make a confession given the state of the world economy. I have trouble spending money. I would rather have money than spend it. I prefer to have a large bank account and watch the interest...

Time to Manifest

I can think of two clients off the top of my head who are on the verge of major success. In both cases the work is impeccable--one an author, the other an interior designer. Each has done everything humanly possible to get her message out to the public.  They have...

Greener Grass Syndrome

I received an email from one of my many creative clients who was suffering. She acknowledged that it was self-inflicted. She had just been online and found an artist's site she found enviable, which got her thoroughly depressed. The Internet makes it easier than...

How Calvin Coolidge Inspired Robin Lange

I had the good fortune to meet Robin Lange, owner of iYogaStudio, at Erica Green's event last Friday night. Robin conducted an abbreviated yoga class that got us relaxed and more flexible for the evening ahead. We chatted over Erica's delicious squash soup and...

What Donna Accomplished

Fine Arts Photographer Donna Callighan and I go way back to early EWN (Entrepreneurial Woman's Network) days in the 90's when her shingle read "commercial photographer."  I'm sure she did at least one of my head shots back then and definitely helped my success by...

What a Brave Woman Looks Like

My client Jessica Bram's book Happily Ever After Divorce:  Notes of a Joyful Journey is on the bookshelves now. But in a couple of weeks Jessica will have the official launch at Barnes & Noble in Westport, CT where she'll give a talk and sign copies. I know...

Arlyn Young – Artist

I've worked with Arlyn over the course of a few different Mastermind Groups and have seen an evolution and unfolding of her imagination and skills that reinforces why I do this work. I'm not sure if everyone has the 20-20 vision to see the artist inside the...

The Afterglow

Whatta night! It started at Kate Eisemann's very cool new photography studio in a prime retail location in Wilton, CT. Her goal last September, when she came into my Mastermind Group, was to have 20 of her images on display in her own studio by January 2009. She...
