I love helping you succeed. Read why...
Years ago, I started the entrepreneurial journey the same way many people start it: I had a skill I was good at, worked at a place that sucked, and decided “I can do it better than that guy…I should start my OWN business!” I was a hair colorist, working in a salon that was, well, [...]
I love to read. I love just about anything having to do with books, and so if you’ve been a client of mind (or, for that matter, anyone who has had a conversation with me) you’ll know that I am always popping off book recommendations. And recently, I was asked to put together a list [...]
I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty easy for me to get caught up in the “what if” spiral. What if I make a mistake? What if they don’t like me? What if I end up looking like a total idiot? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don’t have enough [...]
I often say that underneath every business challenge is a personal growth opportunity in disguise. And in related news: inevitably, the thing you think is the problem? It’s not the problem. It’s typically a symptom of something else, which is the real problem. Case in point: I was consulting with a potential client the other [...]
Well, my mind is just a-spinning! See, I went last night to a Biznik event to hear Gary Vaynerchuck speak about his new book The Thank You Economy. Without me trying to reinvent the wheel, here’s the review on Amazon.com if you want to read a summary of what the book is about. Gary Vee [...]
Years ago, I did an intensive personal growth seminar.

We spent five long days digging down into our psyches, beginning to shine the light on our own habits, beliefs, and [...]
Sometimes, parents say the darndest things that stick with you, for a very long time. Those things can be just plain funny—if you want some examples, check out a website dedicated to S*** My Dad Says. Or they can be loving, ridiculous, insulting, or inspiring. My dad had the potential to say things that could [...]
A while back, I wrote a post about how we, as women, tend to not ask for things: about asking for recognition, for what you want, for credit where credit is due, for rewards earned, and so forth. And it seems that something is up in the universe, because other people have been pondering the [...]
As you know, as a coach I love working with women, helping them create satisfying work and meaningful lives, doing what is truly important to them. You know, helping gutsy women do cool things. So here’s a cool thing that you gutsy women might want to consider doing. I want to invite you to a [...]
I had cocktails last night with an old friend from graduate school. These days, she’s pretty high up on the totem pole at a large tech company here in town, and we were talking about all kinds of stuff, from business to sports to all things girl. Specifically, we were comparing notes on women in [...]
