You've heard me say this before, but this time I really mean it. I'm going to give twitter my all. After attending BlogHer (especially after my July sabbatical), I heard with fresh ears the underlying buzz of our culture, and it comes in a tweet. I took away a...
When I heard that the EWN Program Committee had secured Kate White as our September keynote speaker, I immediately requested the opportunity to sponsor the event. I first heard Kate speak at an AWED (American Women's Economic Development Corp.) event in NYC while...
Jodi Kantor Interview with Jon Stewart After hanging up from my coaching call with my coach, I attended a Ladies Who Launch event in New Canaan last night to hear Jodi Kantor speak about her recent book publication The Obamas-- the national bestseller she wrote...
If you want to get a sense of the demographics of the BlogHer attendees, this wall of sticky notes is the perfect illustration. One of the vendors had a booth about aging. Each woman filled out a colored sticky note with a message reflecting her attitude and posted...
Kathy entered the Brubeck Room, which she helped to bring to life, in a queen's robe. She was escorted up to the front where her throne awaited her. There was a delightful hour-long concert by Triple Play in her honor followed by Special Toasts and gifts that...
What do difficult clients and getting root canal have to do with each other? Well, actually, as I re-read that question, it makes sense to compare the two. They can both be extremely painful, and you probably wouldn't look forward to either. But that wasn't the...
It would ruin any mystery surrounding the birthday gift I'm giving her tonight. But my experience at Lululemon yesterday bears sharing with my audience of business owners and other interested consumers. I selected a cool, reversible jacket as my gift to Barbara,...
One of the reasons I just joined Ladies Who Launch was to be sure to claim my space at Kristin van Ogtrop's talk last week in Greenwich. I knew it would be a sell-out and that members would receive priority. I became a platinum member and slid onto the list of...
I spent the early part of this week visiting my good friend Meredith Gray at her new bungalow in Savannah. We invited a fellow Savannah-ite to join us for breakfast Tuesday morning at the Sentient Bean. Carlette Cormier and I had met in 2003--I as a speaker,...

When I teach the marketing module in my Soul Proprietor's Formula for Building Your Business, I begin with a conversation I once had with my good friend and illustrator, Maggie Swanson. We walked regularly when we lived in the same neighborhood and shared...
I'm currently attending a fascinating and worthwhile program called Immunity to Change being held at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge. Today was Day 2 of a 3-day workshop for facilitators, and facilitated by the creators and authors of ITC as it is called...
I had the opportunity to tell my favorite college professor, Jim Cavanaugh, about the course I'll be taking in Cambridge in a couple of weeks. It's called Immunity to Change and deals with, as the title implies, resistance to that difficult transition we're so...
I'm very excited to be attending a training session in Boston this weekend to update my coaching skills. We will be taught by the founders of CTI--Henry and Karen Kimsey-House--who are traveling the country and the world to instruct us in a new part of the program...
I know I'm late to the party, but I've arrived. In one of my webinar modules I quoted David Pogue talking about his conversion to twitter three years ago. After hearing all the fuss, he still didn't 'get' what was so great. Until he was on a selection committee for...
