I rely heavily on Scarlett De Bease of Scarlett New York for advice on my wardrobe. She's created a look-book for me, which means that every time I need to go out in public and look presentable, I have a photographic album of outfits Scarlett has assembled for me...
...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...
On a coaching call today the topic of setting limits came up, especially with children living at home. I told my client that when I began practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) almost 20 years ago, my instructor provided me with a sign to hang on the doorknob of...
I've got three great offerings coming up this fall, and I'm really excited to share them here first. My final Remarkable Women's Network event for 2011 is Wednesday, October 5 from 5:30-7:30pm at Troy Fine Art in Southport, CT. The focus that evening is Come As...
I had the pleasure of attending Linda Urbach's reading at the Westport Public Library on Thursday night. Linda is the author of a delightful new novel: Madame Bovary's Daughter, which is the adventurous tales of Berthe Bovary, daughter of the infamous Flaubert...
It'll really feel like the school year has started when I attend the EWN Luncheon tomorrow featuring Fabienne Fredrickson. Fabienne is an excellent speaker and role model for walking your talk. She is one of the most successful people I know. I hear tomorrow's...
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...
Last night was my Office Party with over 50 women business owners in attendance. The sun peeked out long enough for us to enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the patio. There had been some question about the party being held given the seemingly endless rain we'd...
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 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...
I was laughing out loud as I read Martha Beck's column in the August edition of O Magazine. In her article, Our Buddies, Our Selves, she hilariously describes the inner voices we all experience (whether we admit it or not). She's named them. There's Fang, who shows...
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...
Into every woman business owner's life a little rain must fall. Most of us don't have the luxury of the office water cooler or an ally in a neighboring cubicle where a sympathetic nod or warm hug will relieve the immediate angst of a situation.We have to figure out...
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. ...
Never have truer words been spoken! On Friday, July 8 at 4:09pm, my daughter Lindsey gave birth to Chloe Elizabeth, her and Evan's first child, my first grandchild. All other accomplishments fall by the wayside. Birth is a miracle, and being a witness...
