I met with a group of women business owners recently, where one participant whom I know and adore, shared a challenge about how crazy-busy she is. She felt frantic and incapable of prioritizing. The proverbial fires were all burning equally in her arena. Taking...
Someone asked me today if there'd been a full moon (it was full, huge and beautiful last night), because the atmosphere felt fraught with unpleasantness. I knew what she meant. I've been experiencing some push-back and hearing tales from others that it's choppy...
Since my 2011 business year ended nicely in the black, I worked hard in December to invest some of my earnings back into my company by enrolling in courses for the upcoming year. One of my business gurus, Brian Tracy, uses the figure 5% of income as the target...
I'm back! The most significant takeaway from my wonderful trip to Mexico and California was that for the entire week at Rancho La Puerta I was fully present and never thought about home, work, responsibilities, finances, 2012 or anything other than what I was...
I know. I can hear you all thanking me for being your role model for extreme self-care. I told my coach the other day that I feel like I'm in the Olympics of self-care these days. I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for a week at a resort. I do have some...
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...
My walk at the beach this morning yielded not only a great workout with a friend, but also a topic for today's post. My co-walker talked about forking over $50+ a month to keep her website alive hoping for a few eyeballs to visit it every month. "Have there been...
I had invited a friend from NYC to have dinner with me one evening several months ago. We spoke earlier in the day to nail down her arrival time at the Westport train station. She said, "I'm not really accomplishing anything now because I'm already in 'leaving'...
My son got mad at me a few years ago when my newsletter column listed 100 things I was grateful for, and the UPS guy was ranked above my kids. Let me say at the outset of this post that I am grateful, first and foremost, for my family members. (Happy, Rob?)...
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...
He said so, as quoted in the New York Times, when recently interviewed by Oprah at a benefit event held at Lincoln Center last week. Why do I love reading those words? It makes me feel connected to greatness. It makes me feel normal for having the same feelings. It...
I'm thoroughly enjoying the biography of Wendy Wasserstein written by Julie Salamon. I've always felt a special connection because we were in the same Theatre 145 class at Mount Holyoke College in 1967. Also, we shared a mutual friend in Aimee Garn who is quoted...
"Oh, hello Oprah. Yes, can I call you back? I'm in the middle of my Come As You'll Be event." I explained to the assembled superstars at my networking event that now, in the year 2016, I have limited my coaching practice to the most successful women entrepreneurs...
