Do You Need a Burning Bush? I Do.

Even with taking the month of August off, changes are happening in my business. I'm beginning an alliance with a company I highly admire. We have our first event at the very end of the month which has already sold out. I love everything this company stands for, a...

Julie and Julia and Jane

I totally identified with the new Meryl Streep (my hero!) and Amy Adams movie that opened on Friday. We (my husband Buddy) and I were at the first matinee at the BowTie Cinema in Norwalk. I'd gone to a Times Talks event a few weeks ago to see a live interview with...

Authenticity at the Jersey Shore

When my sisters and I were young we would look at magazines like Seventeen or at mail order catalog pages and vote for our favorite model, outfit or hair-do. We'd turn the pages, announce the category, then count to three and point. "Prettiest! One, two, three!"...

Kathryn Doherty’s Opportunity

Betsy’s Big Vision

Tonia Mattu

I know I mentioned the joy I had assisting at the CTI course in NYC in early July and want to elaborate on the quality connections I made in those three days. I have had meaningful follow-up conversations, emails and get-togethers with several of the men and women...

Practicing Poise the Beverly Sills Way

Many years ago I listened to a set of tapes by Dr. Julie White advising women on how to build their self-images and self-projection. She had discussed a recurring frustration which she was able to turn around: waiting on an interminable line at the bank (pre-ATM...

Tomorrow’s My Birthday

Most of you are taking today as a vacation day, so I'll be brief. I spent the past three days in NYC assisting at a coaches training course. It was an extraordinary experience being in a room with 18 very powerful coaches-in-training, two inspiring co-assistants...

The Funny Thing About Energy

My Friend the Philanthropist

Linda Ross, my friend who walks at Compo Beach with me on Tuesday mornings, admitted recently that she'd always wanted to be a philanthropist. In a past life, she traveled in wealthy circles where millions were routinely donated at fancy fund-raisers. She never...

Carolyn Kepcher & Kelly Flatley

Two magnificent women business owners were featured at EWN's Grand Networking Event on Monday night, and I was lucky enough to be among the 150+ women who got to hear them. Carolyn, best known as Donald Trump's right-hand woman from The Apprentice, spoke during the...

Transitioners Transformed

My first offering of Transformation through Transition ended Monday with successes and hugs. Six women began the process a month ago by sharing where they were in their lives/businesses with almost-strangers. Two women who already knew each other had the seed of an...
