Online Marketing – Ya Gotta Love This!

I use mailchimp.com for my online marketing campaigns. I used to use Constant Contact, but on the advice of my virtual assistant, mailchimp has more capabilities, so I switched. I was looking around on it today at some recent activity and saw this message along...

Success in 2016 -Goal-Setting At Its Finest

"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...

Marketing + Sales – Short and Sweet

The musicians on the #1 train were all business. Four well-dressed gentlemen, each with his own instrument, stood in my car near the closing doors. They waited politely until everyone found a seat at the 50th Street Station. They played one very lively and tuneful...

Integrity = Scarlett De Bease

I rely heavily on Scarlett De Bease of Scarlett New York for advice on my wardrobe. She's created a look-book for me, which means that every time I need to go out in public and look presentable, I have a photographic album of outfits Scarlett has assembled for me...

Among My Guests Next Week…

...will be a future Nobel Peace Prize winner! Yes! At my Come As You'll Be event I will be host to the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Currently, she is a client of mine whose passion is leading mission trips to third world countries. She's been to Haiti several...

Exaggerate Much?

Getting specific around numbers is an awareness that continues to grow within me. I still remember my 10th grade math teacher, Miss Stone, who always referred to things that happened "a hundred years ago." Invariably, it meant something from two decades prior--or...

Behind the Scenes

"The marathon's the parade," my friend Doreen once said about the actual running of the 26.2 mile race. You've done all the hard work, trained, sweated, ached and pained. The day of the event is a celebration--a parade. "You don't change anything. You show up and...

I Can’t Wait to See You!

I've got three great offerings coming up this fall, and I'm really excited to share them here first. My final Remarkable Women's Network event for 2011 is Wednesday, October 5 from 5:30-7:30pm at Troy Fine Art in Southport, CT. The focus that evening is Come As...

EWN’s Kickoff Luncheon

It'll really feel like the school year has started when I attend the EWN Luncheon tomorrow featuring Fabienne Fredrickson. Fabienne is an excellent speaker and role model for walking your talk. She is one of the most successful people I know. I hear tomorrow's...

What Are You Majoring in This Semester?

It amazes me how my energy shifts from Labor Day Monday to back-to-work/school Tuesday. The last week of August and the days before the holiday weekend crawl. And then BOOM! It's business as usual, as though nothing has ever been other than business as usual. I've...

Post-Irene

I'm sure this finds many of you digging out from under, bailing out your basements or, like I was earlier today, searching for power and a shower. The Westport Public Library was closed. I got hopeful when I saw many folks spread out on the stone picnic tables with...

No Party Hats. I Promise!

Next Monday night I'm hosting an "office party" for all of my entrepreneurial clients who never get to go to office parties or company picnics. Depending on your point of you, this could be sad or lucky. In addition to providing a traditional get-together in a...

Think or Swim

My son mentioned last week, when I invited him to jump in my pool during his visit to CT, that he hates to swim. How did I miss that fact? Back when he was a baby, there was a theory that if you threw an infant into a pool, its instincts would have it stroking the...

It’s Not the Final Blow

Stick with me here on this train of thought-- On Wednesday I attended a lecture by two wellness coaches that focused specifically on what we feed our bodies. In addition to advice on increasing our vegetable intake, there was emphasis on entirely omitting sugar and...

Martha Beck on Gremlins

I was laughing out loud as I read Martha Beck's column in the August edition of O Magazine. In her article, Our Buddies, Our Selves, she hilariously describes the inner voices we all experience (whether we admit it or not). She's named them. There's Fang, who shows...
