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...
I received this testimonial from a client I worked with a few years ago. I was so happy that she shared it with me that I asked her permission to share it (anonymously) with you. I hope you feel as inspired and motivated as I did reading it. Short story: I’m...
Like many of you, I've been going through major transitions in the last couple of years. The economy has definitely impacted my business, and my personal life has also changed substantially. My long-term marriage came to an end, and a new relationship is beginning...
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...
My primary reason for visiting Savannah earlier this week was to visit my good friend Meredith Gray in her new digs. She moved from Connecticut last fall after one too many winters in the Northeast. Coincidentally, I'd recently heard from another dear friend in GA,...
I gave my TEDx talk my all on Saturday and I'm satisfied with my performance and also happy that it's behind me now. It was an incredible opportunity to speak at such an extraordinarily well-executed event. Jeremey Donovan and his team did an outstanding job of...
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,...
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....
I am not happy with priceline.com. I booked a 3-star hotel in Boston near the facility for my coach training this weekend. When I mentioned where I was headed to a good friend who used to live in Boston, her words to me were, "Be careful!" Not what you want to hear...
"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 learned during the webinar course I took last spring that to become really successful and to expand your reach in the world, creating Joint Venture (JV) relationships would be critical. To be honest, I had no idea what the instructor was talking about. But I hung...
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...
