As Leigh Scott gave a group of us a tour of her warm and welcoming farmhouse last month, she took extra time in the master bedroom where her vision board graces the wall opposite the bed. Good thing she allowed us time and space to process what we were witnessing....
I'm a fan of Marc Maron's podcast and recently heard Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame re-state "done is better than perfect" in two sentences that could only be said by him. "We don't go on because the show is perfect. We go on because it's 11:30 Saturday...
I had the good fortune to not only see Move on the Cha Cha's Sunday night with a group of close friends, but also to know the creator and star of the show--Diane Ripstein. Diane had shared her dream with me many years ago of one day performing at the Fringe...
You know how they say, "Don't try this at home alone" ? That's good advice, particularly when it comes to changing your perspective. Do you ever get into a funk and think there's no way out of the mountain you're facing? Happened to me already this week. I'll be...
I hailed a taxi on a cold and rainy Friday morning. I was leaving town for the first session of my newest Mastermind Intensive. I had a chatty cabby. "Where are you heading?" he asked when I told him to take me to Grand Central. "To Connecticut." "What do you do...
I may be the last person on earth to have the Foo Fighters enter my awareness, but now I'll never forget them. The NYTimes has an article in today's paper with a most heartwarming story and links to a video request and response that are unforgettable. I often...
AARP, The Magazine, has a 2-page spread in their June/July issue featuring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda on their What I Know Now page. Here are some excerpts from the article I found particularly worth sharing: Lily: Everything I've experienced has gone into my...
I was listening to a podcast that is relatively new for me called the Unmistakable Creative. Srini Rao is the host. One of my entrepreneurial mentors, Terri Lonier, introduced me to this informative and intimate series a few months back, and I'm loving it....
Yes. You read that right. It's on Jenn's business card and all of her educational materials. She helps people, brilliantly in my experience, become allies to the LGBT community, particularly in the business world. I bought two of her books, But You Don't Look...
Have you ever dreaded making a call to complain about a service or product and feared that not only would you not receive satisfaction, but that you'd feel you wasted your time in the effort? I forced myself to dial up the help department at SendOutCards. It's a...
Liz Ball of TFI Envision hosted 20+ Artsy Girls at her magnificent home in Stamford last night. Our quarterly events are occasions for women who are nationally recognized for their creative talents to gather, be inspired and share successes. An hour or so into our...
I got to watch a segment of CBS Sunday Morning featuring this Academy Award winner and television actress Helen Hunt who, before listening to her interview, I would've thought was turning down offers, working to her heart's content and completely satisfied with her...
I had the privilege of hearing Robin Roberts keynote at the AARP event in Miami Beach last week. I'd seen her on the cover of their magazine recently, but since I'm not a TV watcher, had little idea of her immense influence as the co-anchor of ABC's Good Morning...
Do you ever compare yourself with someone else? And attribute a higher grade or extra credit to those whom you perceive as better, faster, or more successful than you? I do. All the time. That's why I was so relieved when I spoke to my coach (after a long hiatus)...
My Mastermind Intensive, aka the Bolders, had the privilege of listening to Jeff Seaver of Seaver Interactive talk about what social media is and isn't. He was our guest expert last Friday. We were riveted by his humor, his candor and the enormity of his knowledge...
