Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Geri Stengel, founder and owner of Ventureneer. Marc Halpert served as our connector. I love how these things happen. I saw Marc at the New York Times Crossword Puzzle Contest at the Westport Library on February 3. I...
You don't have to be a college student or grad to benefit from the advice in this revised edition of Lindsey's book. Lindsey, for those of you who don't know, is my daughter. She used to come to me for career advice, but the tables have turned. She's my go-to...
I filled out a survey today asking me why I attended the ICF-CT meeting last Friday. Good question. The speaker sounded knowledgeable. This particular meeting was in Norwalk vs. Cromwell, CT (a good hour plus ride for me). I wanted to see some acquaintances I...

My marketing director took me out to lunch yesterday for a planning session. How cool does that sound? I've been working with this woman-owned company for over a year now. They specialize in helping other women-owned businesses get the word out about their...
I had the honor of opening the 2012 season for the National Kitchen and Bath Association's meeting this week with my talk on Creating Your Own Future. It's a goal-setting session with lots of interactivity. After asking participants to dream big, I had them break...

Since my 2011 business year ended nicely in the black, I worked hard in December to invest some of my earnings back into my company by enrolling in courses for the upcoming year. One of my business gurus, Brian Tracy, uses the figure 5% of income as the target...
Last Friday night I went to Debra Somerville's photography Studio Opening event in Westport where lots of chic patrons, friends and family helped Debra 'break in' her new space. One of the very cool things about the opening, in addition to Debra's brilliant...
One of the things I love about getting my news now via the Times Reader is that, unlike when I read the paper edition, I'm able to immediately click on the links that are highlighted. Reading an inside scoop about the director of the hit movie "The Help"--Tate...

I am so proud and thrilled for my friend Cookie--aka Marisabina Russo--whose latest book was just featured in the NY Times Book Review on Sunday. It doesn't get any better than that. Cookie and I go way back--to Camp Chinqueka in the 50's--but it was at our...
