First of all, happy New Year and welcome to 2014! I hope it will become your most fulfilling, lucrative, successful and joyful year yet! I am really not sure what happened to 2013 or my resolution to consistently post interesting, entertaining and insightful posts to this blog. I believe this is proof, once again, that […]
Did you notice that September was a bit of an odd month? I don’t think it was just me as most of my associates and clients reported strange glitches – from technology meltdowns to interpersonal miscommunications to professional missteps. Whether it was coincidental, astrological or imaginary, I found that along with the challenges emerged some fascinating insights. Most enlighteningly, I may have finally learned how to process “constructive feedback” in a balanced, healthy, non-self-kicking manner. At first I thought it was a fluke, but of course then I got multiple opportunities to validate this newfound skill (aren’t I lucky!)
As the first month of the first year of the new decade drew to a close it wasn’t just my clients thinking about “what’s next”. Perhaps because I am celebrating eight years in business this month – wow, really, EIGHT?! – I’ve found myself drawn to every possible reflective, strategizing and planning exercise I […]

I was facing an interesting dilemma this week: whether to stay in Washington on January 20th, the much-anticipated Inauguration Day. The same day for which millions of people are paying thousands of dollars! And it would be FREE for me since I live right here. Except I need to get to a conference in Florida […]
I had completely forgotten that I was asked long ago to contribute a motivational quote to a calendar for female entrepreneurs. How interesting that today, the historic election day ’08, is when my quote appears on the calendar and their website www.womenentrepreneur.com. “To stay motivated, make a list of your “have dones” at the end […]
I really enjoyed this article in the Wall Street Journal about eliminating those awful annual performance appraisals. Brought back all kinds of not-so pleasant memories along with validation for why we do what we do at Incite! I remember, back in the corporate world, how anxious my colleagues and I felt whenever our annual reviews […]
Among the countless doom and gloom reports and predictions on the current state of economy, some voices still resonate hope. I really enjoyed this recent article in Business Week by my friend Peter Justin. Peter is a sharp, seasoned entrepreneur, not a naive hopeful novice. So I especially trust and appreciate his educated analysis of […]
In case you haven’t seen this video yet http://www.girleffect.org/#/video/, I found it extremely powerful and touching. In today’s world – as reflected by daily headlines proclaiming despair and panic – it’s empowering to know that some of us ARE thinking about making a difference in the world. Even if we begin with helping one child.
