At the MORE magazine Re-Invention Convention I attended on Monday, I heard Carly Fiorina interivewed by the Wall Street Journal's Laura Landro. Politics aside, there were some key points she made that had me taking notes. CF: "If someone can't explain something to...
My brand new program, An Invitation to Get Real, is this Saturday. My co-presenter, Brad Isaacs, is flying in from CA on Friday, and I can't wait. We've been working on this for months. We've got a roomful of participants (there are still a few places, if you're...
I attended a great talk on social networking a few weeks back given by Peter Shankman. The big question on the minds of most in the audience was, “When am I supposed to do this?” Everyone’s days are already filled to the brim. How do you make time for something...

...and my chiropractor, my insurance agent and a business consultant with whom I'd worked many years ago. These businesses were smart sending an off-season mailing to get their customer's attention. It works. I'll definitely go into my local Chico's to redeem the...
My dear friend Kathryn invited me for a birthday lunch last week. We sat outside in her spectacular garden, ate a deliciously prepared macrobiotic feast, then went inside for her gift to me, a session of healing touch which she's been studying. In addition to being...
Scarlett De Bease, my wonderful Image Consultant, asked me to write a testimonial for her LinkedIn profile. I was very happy to oblige. But I knew that it would take me awhile to figure out exactly how to fulfill her request. I had never posted a recommendation on...
I attended a spectacular EWN event last month with over 150 women business owners. The keynote speaker was Beth Schoenfeldt, co-founder of Ladies Who Launch. One of the cool things about this Grand Networking Event is that in addition to an hour of mingling time...
