Three Years Later

At the urging of my own personal mastermind group (thank you, Mary, Brenda and Val), I began blogging three years ago this month. At the time it felt like yet another thing to do, another check box on the list. Not quite drudgery, but I couldn't see the point....

Last Night at Eileen Fisher in MA

We had a wonderful turnout at my first-ever Boston area event held at the beautiful Chestnut Hill Eileen Fisher store. I love bringing together Remarkable Women, and this group was no exception. We had women in travel, communications, catering, financial education,...

What You Don’t See

Katie Settel, of Katie Settel Photography, and I spent a few hours at Calf Pasture Beach on Friday. I need to update my social media images and love the way Katie has captured shots at my Remarkable Women's Network events for me.  While Katie was selecting...

Rehearsal Dinner

I had the distinct honor and privilege of dining with esteemed members of Moffly Media as well as my co-panelists for the upcoming 4th Annual Women in Business event at Dolce in Norwalk. The theme is Entrepreneurship. I met Michele Ross of Letarte Swimwear, Kendra...

Getting Ready for Tonight

I'm excited to be hosting my 17th Remarkable Women's Network event this evening at Alfya's Skin Care Salon in New Canaan. I met Alfya when she was a Master Aesthetician at Noelle, the Day Spa in Stamford. In Alfya's trusted hands, I was transported from mom,...

Super Intern Networking

What business owner wouldn't feel blessed to have 20 ready-to-work-for-you 20-somethings lining up for face time? That was the premise of an event I attended on Monday night at BeSpoke restaurant in New Haven--an elegant venue with excellent service. Brilliantly...

Linda Hunt’s Philanthropic Work

I received a beautiful invitation in the mail last month for an event I'll be attending tomorrow night, March 31. The pink sticky note on the outside of it was from Linda Hunt, a current client in my Mastermind Group. It read, "Jane, this is a wonderful event I...

In Over My Head

I'm in Phoenix, AZ attending InfusionCon, the conference for users of Infusionsoft.com programming. There's a very sophisticated, tech-savvy population of marketers here who seem to be using the program phenomenally well judging by the enthusiasm level and results...

Do You Know Your Life’s Purpose? Harriette Does!

During the final session of my winter Mastermind Group, I had participants close their eyes as I read three visualizations. We then debriefed each woman's to establish a Life Purpose statement. Here's what happened with Harriette Trevino, co-owner of Bull's Head...

You Can Change the Conversation

I hate negativity. I attended a lunch meeting last week with people I'd never met before. There was an informational component to the event, then Q+A and discussion among the participants. In my mind, it quickly devolved into an ain't-it-awful session on the woes...

The Myth of Having It All Together

A colleague recently shared her young assistant's admiration. "You have it so together," the 20-something cooed. If only she knew, my friend thought to herself. Her second thought was, I'm glad I'm projecting that image. As a coach and active networker, I'm privy...

Want to Be Treated Really Well?

Little did I know when I told Erica Tannen that I'd like to meet her for lunch in New Haven that I was dealing with royalty. Erica, of the-e-list.com, is the doyenne of all good things along the shoreline in CT. She recommended that we meet at Heirloom, an...

What’s Your Guess on This Logo?

This new business opened up near me recently. Since it's in the same complex as the gym where I go for yoga, I'd seen the signage going up and even peeked in to try to figure out what they were about. Here's an example of a logo that doesn't communicate. My...

Twitter – A Cautionary Tale

Jenifer Howard was the resident expert at 341 Studio's Fresh Intelligence breakfast event this morning. The subject was online PR, at which Jenifer is an expert. While she covered the gamut of online resources and outlets, she spent a great deal of time on twitter....

Opening the Kimono

Although I'd never heard the expression, "open the kimono" before, I got its meaning the second my coaching buddy spoke those words during our conversation a few years ago. He was about to reveal a bit of closely-guarded information, and I was being alerted to that...
