A couple of weeks ago, I read an article that got under my skin. (Strap in, friends. Peeved LGO incoming.) Nina Ajemian wrote a solid piece in the new MPW Daily about female founders heading back to school after their exits. It’s thoughtful. It’s well-researched. And still—it misses the mark. Because it frames these women like they’re … Read more
Life’s been a little harried lately. January and February are a busy season for sales kick off meetings (SKOs), and I’ve been doing a lot of them. Between Transunion, IBM, Charter Oak Financial/Mass Mutual — I’ve been on my toes. Like my newsletters, I customize every talk. So, it’s been… a lot. But, I’d never complain. … Read more
I don’t set resolutions…. for two reasons. First, I’m kind of an “Every Day is Day One” sort of gal. It’s Jan 1? Start. It’s Wednesday, July 12? Start. It’s 2pm? Start. You are the star when you decide to start. Every day, any day… it’s Day One. Second, for all things there is a … Read more
If you caught last year’s Access Hollywood segment, you know I usually dive headfirst into talking about New Year’s resolutions around this time. But this year? I’m hitting pause on that hustle. Instead, I’m pulling out the highlighter to reflect on the moments that made 2024 unforgettable, both for me and for all of us … Read more
Who are your champions? And why do they matter? Your champions are the difference between a goal being an idea, floating around in pretty curly script in your head, and an accomplishment that you look back upon proudly and build upon compoundedly. (I know that’s not a word. But it should be: compound accomplishments are … Read more
Have you set big enough goals? I’ve had a pretty good rule of thumb my entire life: if you haven’t set goals big enough to scare the pants off of you just a wee bit, your goals are probably not big enough. In fact, if you aren’t just a pinch concerned about how you are going … Read more
I want you to stop keeping score. There are two types of people in the world: those who keep score, and those who don’t. I’m not a scorekeeper. Never have been. That doesn’t mean I’m not hella competitive. Trust me, if you’re on a rowing machine, treadmill, or spin bike next to me, I’m racing you… … Read more
Have you ever been faced with an important decision, one so big, so hard, so overwhelming that you felt positively paralyzed by it? What did you do? How did you make the decision? Was it the right decision, or the wrong decision? And, how do you really know, anyway? Life doesn’t come with a control … Read more
Do you feel loved? It’s a big question, I know. But I’ve been feeling this question deeply as of late. Here’s why: 1. My eldest son is reviewing his college options, having gotten into (and been rejected from) a diversity of schools. Where should he go? Which should he choose? Which school will allow him … Read more
What can you learn from a drag queen? As it turns out: a lot. Those of you who follow me on the socials know that I am a huge fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I don’t hide my freak flag about this; I prefer to fly it high. And, no, don’t come for me with … Read more
