I stopped by my new AAA office to pick up a map and guidebook for a friend only to discover that my membership had expired. I was assigned a Travel Counselor and went through the renewal process with him. On inquiring about what happened to my status, I mentioned...
I saw a phenomenal movie last weekend and have been thinking about its stars and message a lot since then. The film is about the women who have sung back-up for major recording stars and groups from Ike and Tina Turner to the Rolling Stones. It's not a diatribe on...
I got to tag along with my daughter Lindsey last week when she was a featured speaker at the Joe Connolly-CBS Business Breakfast in Mahwah, NJ. In my humble opinion, she was the star of the panel on "How to Use Social Media, Etc." I was extremely proud of her as...
For as long as I can remember I have had set goals: to go to college, to graduate, to get a job, to get married, to have and raise children, to write a book, to become a coach, to speak publicly, to succeed in my own business, to work on my relationship(s), to...
I was such a novice when I first walked into the doors of the Entrepreneurial Woman's Network (EWN) 20 years ago. I didn't even knew what the word networking meant back then. A colleague had mentioned that there were other women business owners in the Fairfield...
Social Media Architect Brian Bish addressed my Mastermind Intensive on Friday about the why's and wherefore's of social media. It was a convincing talk, and I'm seeing a good deal of activity among our members as a result. Brian talked about the credibility of a...
What a relief to read this wonderful volume and be affirmed for behaviors that rarely get affirmed. I'm talking about the new book sensation called Quiet whose subtitle is: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. If you've met me within the last...
I received an email message from Jim Cavanaugh, my beloved theatre professor from Mount Holyoke College, who has continued to follow my career since the day I graduated. He was acknowledging my admission/declaration that I needed to rehearse my talk for this...
