There are so many things I love about working with my Mastermind Intensive women business owners. We met all day last Friday, and the excitement in the room was electric. We've been together for 4 months now. Since each meeting starts off with goals met, the...
I joined La Leche League in my last month of pregnancy with my first child. I knew that I wanted to breastfeed my baby and needed to learn how. That was the premise of the meetings--to place yourself amongst other breastfeeding women to learn and observe the in's...
I'm off to a running start in 2013 having been tremendously inspired by Seth Godin's event on Wednesday in NYC. It's as if he heard what I was planning for this year and then developed a talk to completely support and encourage my efforts. I believe that when...
This will be my final post for 2012. Last week I had planned to blog about a woman business leader I'd read about and post an entry based on an obituary for the man who invented the bar code. But dealing with the overwhelming sadness and shock of the Newtown...
Terry Scarborough has been a trusted friend and colleague since we met several years ago when I spoke at an ASID CT event. As a past president, Terry immediately embraced me and helped me to become an Industry Partner, which I remained for several years. I recently...

I had my own first November coaching session Wednesday afternoon. As a coach myself, I'm a big believer in the coaching relationship. Michele has been my coach for several years now. She's the one person in my professional life where I can let it all hang out and...
