Social Media

Classy Group

I had the privilege of speaking for the Litchfield County Women's Network last Wednesday night, one of those pouring rainy nights we seem to have had so many of lately. I was a tad grumpy coming in after a long drive, but the mood of the room and the warmth of the...

Three Years Later

At the urging of my own personal mastermind group (thank you, Mary, Brenda and Val), I began blogging three years ago this month. At the time it felt like yet another thing to do, another check box on the list. Not quite drudgery, but I couldn't see the point....

My Favorite Shots by Katie Settel

Here are my favorites from my beach shoot with Katie Settel last week. Would love your feedback! I'm going to update my facebook and twitter accounts and wanted more current (and more flattering) images. What do you...

What You Don’t See

Katie Settel, of Katie Settel Photography, and I spent a few hours at Calf Pasture Beach on Friday. I need to update my social media images and love the way Katie has captured shots at my Remarkable Women's Network events for me.  While Katie was selecting...

Getting Ready for Tonight

I'm excited to be hosting my 17th Remarkable Women's Network event this evening at Alfya's Skin Care Salon in New Canaan. I met Alfya when she was a Master Aesthetician at Noelle, the Day Spa in Stamford. In Alfya's trusted hands, I was transported from mom,...

Oooh! Shiny!

My client, Debra Hamilton who is a brilliant mediator with a special interest in animals, participated in the Annual AKC Dog Show recently held in New York City. During our call yesterday she used a phrase I'd never heard, "Oooh! Shiny!" referring to a new area of...

Twitter – A Cautionary Tale

Jenifer Howard was the resident expert at 341 Studio's Fresh Intelligence breakfast event this morning. The subject was online PR, at which Jenifer is an expert. While she covered the gamut of online resources and outlets, she spent a great deal of time on twitter....

Clarity, Integrity, Vulnerability. Oh, My!

I met with a couple of women yesterday to compare notes on how we're using social media. It's a forum for discussing challenges and raising questions, plus some show and tell. It was only the second session for this evolving group; the format hasn't standardized...

“What’s NBC?”

If you grew up in the 50's and 60's like I did, you remember that there were three major networks and then the lesser places on the dial--like Channel 5, 9, 11 and 13. That was it. We knew what the channels were, where they were located on the dial, and what...

A Smile and Some Tears

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkHNNPM7pJA] Two holiday youtube videos came my way last week. The one that made me smile is called The Digital Story of the Nativity. It's clever, well done and makes brilliant use of the variety of social media our culture...

Welcome Frustration

It's hard to believe that something as uncomfortable and aggravating as frustration could actually be a good thing. But, consider this: frustration may be the indicator that you're about to learn something new. It's one of my least favorite feelings, but as a...

This Time I Really Mean It

There was something about the way Carol McManus talked about her success with LinkedIn that it finally took. I'm in. Both feet. Maybe it was the $250,000 ROI she's  enjoyed in '10, or the [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRBchZLkQR0] video clip which...
