I love the movies, and catching up on all the latest offerings is part of my August vacation pleasure. Over the weekend we saw (500) Days of Summer which I thoroughly enjoyed. One scene particularly stayed in my mind for its personal truth which applies to my...
Last January I hosted my first Remarkable Women's Network event at Kate Eisemann's Studio in Wilton, CT. Eighty women came out on a wintry night to meet each other and share something about themselves with the group. It was such a successful night that I knew I...
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...
I got an SOS call from a colleague asking for feedback on a client situation. She's a successful photographer who had just completed a head shot assignment (150 miles from her hometown). She had emailed the final images to the art director for the brochure he was...
I'm a big believer in making your own opportunities. I'd been doing it forever in my entrepreneurial business when I heard Terri Lonier name it in her top ten tips for SOHO's (Small Office Home Office business owners). "Make it up!" she asserted. That's exactly...
Almost all of the attendees from Monday night's event hung out for a long time after the official 7:30pm close. To me, that's the sign of a successful program. If folks are streaming out the door at the final bell, you can be fairly certain that they weren't fully...
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...
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...
The Artsy Girls met last night at Ellen Highsmith Silver's magical home in Rye, NY. She hosted our mid-summer event and gave us a tour of her creative surroundings before the program began. In addition to the dozens of wooden pig cutting boards gracing the walls of...
Kate Eisemann, my wonderful photographer and good friend, has labored long and hard to alter the background in #1 (pale blue) and #2 (white) around my curly locks. If you haven't already checked out her website, I highly recommend a visit and bookmarking. You can...
For those of you reading comments to my blog on Macs, the problem of them getting cut off has been solved by my illustrious blogmaster, Lena West of xynoMedia. Thank you, Lena! Kate Eisemann of Kate Eisemann Pictures, the talent behind my headshot selections, is...
I am overwhelmed by the response to my request for feedback on my headshot. The request to you came out of a coaching session where I was encouraged to allow myself to be the center of attention--a place that does not come easily or naturally to me. I love the idea...
Kate Eisemann recently shot dozens of images of me for a new headshot. I was still enamored of the one she did three years ago, but based on some feedback from an unbiased third party, I decided it was time to step out as a glasses-wearing woman business owner who...
After a full day of assisting a coach training program I hopped the subway to my hotel, made a quick wardrobe change and took another subway to NYU where I was hosting a table for Women In Communications (WICI) at their Night of the Coaches. This was a brilliantly...
