Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Geri Stengel, founder and owner of Ventureneer. Marc Halpert served as our connector. I love how these things happen. I saw Marc at the New York Times Crossword Puzzle Contest at the Westport Library on February 3. I...
I recently bumped into a friend I hadn't seen in a few years. We had a lot in common when we first met--young kids, young businesses. We were close friends during those early decades, but life, moves and different industries took us in different directions. It's...
I filled out a survey today asking me why I attended the ICF-CT meeting last Friday. Good question. The speaker sounded knowledgeable. This particular meeting was in Norwalk vs. Cromwell, CT (a good hour plus ride for me). I wanted to see some acquaintances I...
One of the enticements I offered attendees of the Remarkable Women's Network event I hosted last week was publicity. I said that I would blog about one participant's new idea for her business in 2012. It wasn't an easy choice, but Debbie Crichton, founder of Art...
You're probably thinking, what does this subject line have to do with entrepreneurship? But, the essence of this question arose yesterday when I received an email from one of my webinar participants inquiring why I'd combined my two groups in one private Facebook...

Last Friday night I went to Debra Somerville's photography Studio Opening event in Westport where lots of chic patrons, friends and family helped Debra 'break in' her new space. One of the very cool things about the opening, in addition to Debra's brilliant...
One of the things I love about getting my news now via the Times Reader is that, unlike when I read the paper edition, I'm able to immediately click on the links that are highlighted. Reading an inside scoop about the director of the hit movie "The Help"--Tate...
Lennie Rose, the founder of Big Ooga in Chicago, let me know that she would be in NYC over the Thanksgiving holiday. She and I have been corresponding for a few years now thanks to our connection through our blogs. We both thrive on getting fabulous entrepreneurs...
On my drive from Tucson, where the retreat was held en route to the airport in Phoenix, I saw a spectacular rainbow--in Arizona! Over the desert. Not what you'd expect. That pretty much sums up my fabulous experience at Miraval with 100+ MORE readers plus the...
When I signed up for the Meet the Editors event at Miraval Spa in Tucson last June, I had no idea how well-timed this getaway retreat would be. These last few weeks have been intensely full and productive with my recent free webinar and subsequent sell-out of the...
Yesterday was a glorious day in CT, especially compared to last Sunday when we were all cleaning up from that freaky fall blizzard and subsequent power outages. This day was sunny, blue skies and the perfect temperature for taking in a multitude of offerings. I...
When I spoke for the Women's Council of Realtors in September, I gave out three copies of my CD How I Got on the Today Show to winners of the Networking Bingo game we played. One of the recipients, Birgit Anich, took the time to send me not only a beautifully...
There were 500 attendees to hear David Gergen speak yesterday morning at the WBDC's Business Breakfast entitled: Power, Politics & Purse Strings (giving it the female slant). Besides great networking, the spirit of the room and the opportunity to re-connect...
