Last night I dreamt that I was on my way to my memoir class and was crossing the campus (it's actually housed in a skyscraper on 8th Avenue) on a snowy afternoon. I couldn't get my footing and kept slipping backwards as I was trying to walk towards the building. I...
I met Nancy Williams following my heart. With my new intention to spend more time involved with 1:1 networking meetings, I was delighted to be introduced to Nancy by a mutual friend. Through that introduction, Nancy approached me via email inquiring about the use...
Me, too! In fact, I spent a good part of this weekend getting all my gear in order for you. I got my projector working, my slides in order and my handouts printed. This is my desk in preparation mode (cleaned up for the camera, of course). I'm very excited to see...
I've been reluctant to attend any of the new networks I started going to when I moved to NYC nearly two years ago. I have met a handful of wonderful women, particularly through In Good Company. But I am not feeling the love or sense of connectedness that I used to...
Where to begin?! Last night my daughter Lindsey celebrated the release of her latest book, Becoming the Boss: New Rules for the Next Generation of Leaders. I received my inscribed copy at the event and began reading it right away. It drew me right in with its...
Since speaking and writing about getting picked, I've become more aware of the invitations I've received from women business owners seeking my support and endorsement. I'm always delighted when successful women like Nancy Williams find me and my blog and view it as...
I gave my first public talk last night about my trip around the world to a joint audience of Living All the Way and Ladies Who Launch members and guests. The response was thrilling, and the feedback extremely helpful. An experience I shared that was particularly...
I didn't buy a lot of stuff on my trip, but I do want to show off the few things I did purchase. Of course, my go-to professional for this assignment is always Scarlett DeBease. She was here this morning for under three hours, and we (she, really) came up with 36...
December 23 was a dreary, rainy day, but Carol Schneider and I had it on our calendars to take a road trip to PA. We went in spite of the downpour--over 2 hours each way. We visited the picturesque town of New Hope, PA where there's a small, but elegant shop called...
It didn't take Lisa Corrado long to decide that being in business for 10 years was worthy of celebration. Her Mastermind Group urged her to nail down a date and get the invitation out to her happy clients and supporters. Selfishly, we all wanted to party with Lisa....
Since attending a lunchtime networking meeting a couple of weeks ago, I've had three coffee dates with three remarkable women. This morning Shahrina Ankhi-Krol and I met at Dean & Deluca's midtown to find common ground. For this archaeologist turned lawyer, it...
How are my networking events like NYDJ? You know the clothing company, Not Your Daughter's Jeans? They differentiate themselves from the competition by naming their market (mothers, aka women) and offering something more desirable for their demographic. I'm...
I've had the good fortune this week to meet several wonderful women in the city. On Monday, my friend and fellow Artsy Girl, Victoria Cummings (aka the Horse Philosopher Chick), set up a lunch date with two of her best NYCity pals--an author/illustrator and her...
Why re-invent the wheel when Oprah put it into words for me? Two sentences in the recent edition of O Magazine fit me to a T. It's my dream to encourage other people to connect the dots of spirituality for themselves, to recognize the fullness of their being and...
Went to two good networking meetings this week and met several terrific entrepreneurial women in the city. One shared a business name that made everyone in the room laugh out loud, sit up and take notice. She told us about an architecture firm where she knew the...
