Poppy King at Savor the Success Event in NYC Today

I'm just back from a great event for women entrepreneurs called Savor the Success. It will continue tomorrow, but I'm completely filled up. I met terrific women, heard great speakers and practically floated home afterward. I'll be sharing quotes and thoughts I...

Founder Therapy

An article in the New York Times caught my eye over the weekend: Tech Entrepreneurs Share Sentiments in Therapy That Aren't Fit for Twitter. I read every word. If there's anything that I stand for in my business it's this: giving voice to the sentiments about being...

Where’s The Standing Ovation When You Need It Most?

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...

And the winner is…

In February I gave you the opportunity to vote for your preferred cover of my upcoming new edition of Soul Proprietor. And vote you did! Hundreds of you viewed the post and almost as many actually cast a ballot via your comments and e-mail messages to me. I heard...

Betsy K – Organizer Extraordinaire

I'm so proud of my dear friend, colleague and organizing professional Betsy Krobot. Her image is featured on the front page of the current Fairfield County Business Journal with an in-depth article about her business. Besides being headline news and having her...

Erica Green’s Big Connect

Last night over a 100 women came to the Fairfield Museum to be a part of Erica Green's dream event--The Big Connect. Erica shared her idea with me a year ago over lunch at Bloodroot (my favorite vegetarian restaurant). What's so great about her concept is that you...

Networking at Sweet Rexie’s

Nanci Lewis, owner of Sweet Rexie's in South Norwalk, graciously opened her candy emporium Tuesday night to my Remarkable Women's Network. After the round of self-introductions and success updates, we broke into small groups for speed-networking solutions. The...

Remarkable Women of Troy

Almost all of the attendees from Monday night's event hung out for a long time after the official 7:30pm close. To me, that's the sign of a successful program. If folks are streaming out the door at the final bell, you can be fairly certain that they weren't fully...

What I Learned at Mac 1:1

I took my second one-on-one Mac class at the Stamford Town Center Apple Store last Friday at 8am, before the mall even opened. I love that! I didn't get caught in the middle of rush hour traffic, I didn't have to hunt for a parking space and there wasn't much...

Born to Tweet – NOT!

My kids are tweeting their hearts out. They were born to this technological age. In nursery school, Laura was in the dress-up corner playing grocery store and scanning bananas over the toy cash register. I didn't understand why she was waving the fruit over the...

Meredith Gray – NAKED

When Meredith signed up for my Transformations through Transitions group this spring her goal was to bring her breast cancer story to the public's attention. She talked about creating an advisory board--more like a support posse--which stimulated Meredith's drive...

What’s Hard

Each of us has lessons to learn at any given time in our lives. The Universe delivers opportunities often cloaked as annoyances or challenges calling us to take the next step in our development. It's very easy for me to see and coach others' growth edges. It's not...

Jack Russell Gave Me My First Big Break

I just got this great mailer and wanted to share it for several reason. First, I recommend that all of my clients send out letters to their sphere of influence to let them know when something new is happening. It's appropriate to do this when you're  in any...

The Impostor Syndrome. Guilty!

On Monday a coaching client mentioned feeling inadequate to put herself in front of high-end clientele .  The next day I heard the same fear articulated by another woman I was coaching who also had that "less than" thing going on. Then, over lunch with a colleague...

My Team

Every year at this time my accountant asks me who I paid more than $600 to over the course of the year. Every year I cross my fingers and hope that I had already created a list with each of their names, addresses, and Social Security #'s (or EIN's). And each year I...
