I have a fairly extensive list of women who I will welcome into my famous friend fold as soon as I transition from the “I’m a stalker” into the “I’m cool, too” phase of my professional development, and Zooey Deschanel has a seat at my table.  If you haven’t yet, go see 500 Days of [...]

I was invited to moderate a panel for Step Up Women’s Network on a topic near and dear to my heart…Reinvention!   The women on the panel were amazing… Seriously amazing.   While it was all about the women guests, I have to admit I walked away infinitely inspired by the panel (Gabrielle Bernstein, Anu Karwa, Laura [...]

In the Great White North visiting my family this weekend.  Always a conflicting kinda experience.  On one hand, love, love, love hanging out with my brother and his wife.  On the other, hate, hate, hate having to face every single decision I’ve made and fear I have related to the whole let’s-push-the-limit-of-creating-a-business— at the price [...]

Welcome to my guest blogger, Kimmy Scotti, the Director of Sales and Marketing for WORKS!  Here’s what she had to say about her wonderful experience at a JCPenny event last week:
If you told me 5 years ago that I would have wanted to be behind the velvet rope at a JCPenney event in midtown Manhattan, [...]
