At my most recent Remarkable Women's Network event in Irvington, NY at the Eileen Fisher LAB store, Sheila Longhi, an independent rep for Silpada Designs, and I had a chance to chat between small group breakout sessions. Since both of us have the role of host at...
My Leadership tribe (the Jaguars) had a community call on Friday to reconnect after several months. We were talking about our edges--what each of us is working on in our coaching businesses--and what new identity we're growing into. I love the concept of edges...
Mercury may be in retrograde, but my client calls this week have been nothing short of stunning. This afternoon Sarah Youngblood of Youngblood Interiors started our conversation by saying that there's been a shift in her. (Music to my ears!) She didn't even need to...
My committed goal to my action partner yesterday was to complete the design and printing of a mailing label off my MacBook. I just bought a new printer for the job as my HP All-in-One rejects my mailing labels. I unpacked the printer, read through the instructions...
I rejected the first cover proof of my book Soul Proprietor because the red in the New Edition area was too dark and the type on Lindsey's name bled into the background. My wonderful book designer Kim Barron made the necessary adjustments; we sent it back for...
Back when I was a member of the New England Chapter of the National Speakers Association, I heard a talk from a prominent editor at Fast Company Magazine. At the end of his talk, as was the practice in appreciating all of our guest speakers, the group rose to its...
Roz Chast spoke at Bedford Middle School in Westport last night describing her arrival there after going the wrong way on Long Lost Road, as she hilariously renamed Long Lots Road. My friend Cookie and I attended together as we are both fans and slight...
After hearing rave reviews for Venus in Fur playing way off-Broadway (13th Street in NYC), my daughters and I got tickets for yesterday's matinee performance, the last one of the run. I got there early to pick up the tickets my older daughter had ordered. The box...
I don't come across someone fearless every week, so these Fearless Friday posts are special. When Sandy Weiner (seated, right) called me excitedly to tell me her news, I remembered back to our past Mastermind Sessions and her putting out this 'reach' goal. But I'll...
I had a double-header Friday morning spending time with remarkable women. Barbara Weltman and I met for coffee at the Starbucks in Greenwich, a midway point between our home offices. We get together a few times a year to compare notes, catch up and share what's...

I was helping my good friend Aimee with her vision statement over the weekend. For those of you who have never participated in this exercise, I highly recommend that you write one to give yourself clarity about what you want to have in your life and/or business....
Cookie Russo (left) and I met at Camp Chinqueka as young girls--eight and ten. We were drawn to each other back then and re-united when Cookie found me at Mount Holyoke College where she entered a year after me. Our friendship re-ignited living in the same dorm and...
I'm in Sarasota, FL this week visiting friends and taking a break from the winter weather in the Northeast. I had two invitations to visit good friends with homes down here, and I jumped at the opportunity. Linda Koe (pictured with me here) and I met several years...
