In February I gave you the opportunity to vote for your preferred cover of my upcoming new edition of Soul Proprietor. And vote you did! Hundreds of you viewed the post and almost as many actually cast a ballot via your comments and e-mail messages to me. I heard...
I had a double-header Friday morning spending time with remarkable women. Barbara Weltman and I met for coffee at the Starbucks in Greenwich, a midway point between our home offices. We get together a few times a year to compare notes, catch up and share what's...
It's not often that I select a comment to become a post, but Lena West's remarks regarding my Myth of Press posting a week ago warrant that attention. I thought I knew a lot about what to do with press once you've gotten it, but Lena enlightened me about online...
There's a misconception out there that when you get published the automatic result is fame and fortune. That's the power of the press. If there's ink about you, you must be successful and rich. Not so. A colleague and I were comparing notes over coffee yesterday....
#1 #2 I'm very excited to share my goal with you of re-publishing Soul Proprietor myself this spring. Kim Barron of New Leaf Design is creating the design layout and cover. Which brings me to this blog entry. Knowing the old saw about not judging a book by its...
Years ago I had an intern come and work for me from my alma mater, Mount Holyoke College, during the January term when the campus shut down. Rachel Atkinson was an art major and came daily to my studio to help me with my creative projects. Because her father owned...
I spent the last three days going in and out of New York City for visits with family, attending theatre and shopping. Living only 50 miles from my favorite metropolis makes it an easy commute. Besides having wonderful times during my scheduled activities, I came...
Every woman I know recognizes the impact of receiving a turquoise box with a white satin ribbon around it tied in a bow. The message is that someone has gone to the very best jewelry store in the world and selected a gift for you. It almost doesn't matter what's in...
That was the message that stayed with me after hearing Pamela Slim speak yesterday at the EWN meeting--the season opener attended by nearly 100 women (a few guys, too) business owners. She is the author of Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to...
Kate Eisemann, my wonderful photographer and good friend, has labored long and hard to alter the background in #1 (pale blue) and #2 (white) around my curly locks. If you haven't already checked out her website, I highly recommend a visit and bookmarking. You can...
I had just read Terri Lonier's brilliantly precise methodology for connecting colleagues and friends online in her weekly newsletter and wanted to share it with my readers. Then, I received the following email and thought, "Another great example of how social media...
When Meredith signed up for my Transformations through Transitions group this spring her goal was to bring her breast cancer story to the public's attention. She talked about creating an advisory board--more like a support posse--which stimulated Meredith's drive...
I just came back from seeing Every Little Step, a documentary film about the re-making of A Chorus Line on Broadway. You get to see hundreds of the world's most talented singers and dancers compete for 24 roles. The auditioners see their competition and the...
That title's a little misleading. I actually learned a lesson last week and had it reinforced by hearing a story about Lauren Bacall this week. I was invited to be included as part of a new web presence, which shall remain nameless, if I acted quickly and got in on...
After a Compo Beach walk Sunday morning with a coaching colleague who was struggling to define her perfect client, I saw this florescent tag sale sign en route home. It immediately grabbed my attention. It was bold, it said what it was offering and pointed where...
