I went out venturing Friday and crossed several bridges on a drive to Brooklyn. I felt like Alice in Wonderland! It's such a great big, energetic and inviting city. I'd been there before, but mostly by subway, which is actually a better alternative given the...
I received this note card the day before Thanksgiving from a colleague who participated in two of my Mastermind Groups last year. We are both (I'm confident Pam feels this way, too) proud to share Mount Holyoke College alumnae status with Emily Dickinson whose...
It all started when I noticed that my book Soul Proprietor had a different jacket representing it on amazon.com. Then I saw that it was no longer ranked and that copies didn't seem to be available except through resellers. Odd, I thought. What's up? When I called...
Last night over a 100 women came to the Fairfield Museum to be a part of Erica Green's dream event--The Big Connect. Erica shared her idea with me a year ago over lunch at Bloodroot (my favorite vegetarian restaurant). What's so great about her concept is that you...
At one of my first EWN luncheons ever I sat next to a self-employed career counselor who told me that every six weeks she took a week off from her very intense schedule. Since she was her own boss and was responsible for her calendar, it made sense that she could...
A new client sent me a link to the documentary film by Pamela T. Boll (pictured above) about women who are combining motherhood and creativity called Who Does She Think She Is. I intend to see the film asap for two reasons. I am a fan of anything that encourages...
I've been following Carrie Wittenstein's progress over the last few years. She was in one of my very first Mastermind Groups a few years ago when her dream of a 'nice' community was just a twinkle in her eye. During those early sessions Carrie would bring in logo...
Since I believe in walking my talk, I have my own coach and two cherished sessions with her a month. On our last call discernment was the topic that we spent most of our time on. I'm in the enviable position of having many opportunities coming my way, several of...
My friend June's question to the waitress embarrassed me when she asked it many years ago. We were having lunch at an Italian trattoria in Fairfield, CT and deciding whether or not to have their capuccino. "How much did your capuccino maker cost?" June asked. She...
I had the pleasure of receiving a copy of Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own by Robert Tuchman last week. Riding in on the train Thursday night from CT to NYC, I had the opportunity to finish the quick...
In almost every interchange I have with new clients there is a moment of reckoning about money. "I'd like to earn more." "They're not paying me enough." "I owe a lot." All vague. One of my basic questions is "How much would you like to earn?" I want to hear the...
(Illustration by Maggie Swanson) Today is the opening of the Artsy Girls exhibit at the Pierce Ball Gallery in Stamford. The Hour, my local newspaper, gave us an incredible write-up with illustrations in yesterday's paper. I'll be at the gallery today from 1 - 5...
Nanci Lewis, owner of Sweet Rexie's in South Norwalk, graciously opened her candy emporium Tuesday night to my Remarkable Women's Network. After the round of self-introductions and success updates, we broke into small groups for speed-networking solutions. The...
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...
