The Enterprising Women conference I spoke at on Wednesday was inspiring from the get-go. Lynn Robinson, pictured here, was the opening keynote speaker. She addressed the topic of using intuition in business in a way that underscored every belief I've ever had and...
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...
Over and over again I'm reminded of the power of resiliency. When I was studying relationship and systems coaching a few years back, one of the big takeaways from my instructor was this: the difference between competence (skill level) and mastery--that je ne sais...
An unusual kind of bonding went on last night during my Remarkable Women's Network event. As each woman business owner introduced herself, she also mentioned her own particular brand of gremlin voice. Heads nodded as one woman talked about having to be perfect,...
I've just returned to my office after a networking coffee date with Christina Frei, and rather than being exhausted on a Friday afternoon following a busy week, I'm exhilarated. I'm still marveling at how this whole afternoon materialized. I'd received an email...
One of the most telling comments I've remembered over the years regarding 'the voices' we (all) hear in our heads was the speaker who suggested to skeptics, "You know...the voices. Like the one speaking to you right now saying you don't have any voices in your...
While on the Holistic Holiday at Sea a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of hearing many experts speak. One of the most compelling classes I attended was titled The 5 Essentials of Health given by Christina Pirello. Her own personal journey to health is amazing....
"Unless you're bleeding, don't come in for the next hour," I would tell my daughter Laura back in my home office/egg decorating days. That was my inelegant way of establishing privacy and quiet time for my work. I didn't have better tools back then and blush at how...
I'm back from 7 glorious days on the MSC Poesia attending the Holistic Holiday at Sea cruise to the Caribbean. It would be hard to isolate a highlight of this experience, because it was day after day of education, meeting fascinating people, eating exquisitely...
I love watching a conversion. In the first module of my webinar series I talk about creating a vision for your business/life. I offer two methods for doing that--a vision board or a written statement. This week I had the opportunity to review visions with one of my...
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...
You don't have to be a college student or grad to benefit from the advice in this revised edition of Lindsey's book. Lindsey, for those of you who don't know, is my daughter. She used to come to me for career advice, but the tables have turned. She's my go-to...
At last night's mastermind group, during the first round of sharing successes, photographer Katie Settel took her turn with pride and delight. Her goal had been to photograph Beyonce's new baby. We all supported the dream she had laid out in session 1 (this was our...
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...
I had the honor of opening the 2012 season for the National Kitchen and Bath Association's meeting this week with my talk on Creating Your Own Future. It's a goal-setting session with lots of interactivity. After asking participants to dream big, I had them break...
