You ever notice how the week between Christmas and New Year is relatively quiet and peaceful? 

I love this time because it gives me space to reflect on the current year and set my intentions for the new year to come.

In so many ways 2018 was a life-changing year for me personally and in my business.

With regard to my business I gained greater clarity and focus, reached some epic revenue goals, and grew Team CPW by two. So as I look back over the year, while I didn't hit...

Have you been fantasizing about changing careers? Whether you're in a great job that makes you miserable or stuck in a job where there's no where out, I want you to know it’s never too late to go after your dreams and start a new career.

Dreaming about a career change is one thing, but to actively engage in the change it another. There's a lot to consider from financials to your mindset. After all, it can be challenging to see yourself as a novice again after rising to the top...

The holiday season can be a trying and depressing time for many people. While others are celebrating, you may be remembering a loved one you lost, opportunities never realized, and goals you didn't quite meet. In addition, unexpected troubles or news can arrive that may cause you to pause and ponder, "What's going on in my life right now?"

When things feel chaotic and both your patience and capacity for hope start to dim, consider reciting this affirmation to strengthen your mind and resolve....

Today officially marks the beginning of the 12 Days of Christmas. That means you have less than two weeks to pick up something special for your clients, customers, family and friends.

Some of you may have finished your shopping months ago, and others (like me) are just about to get started. In an effort to help those who like to shop during these final 12 days, I put together Holiday Catalog for you that will make any recipient of these thoughtful gifts a happy woman.

Studies have found that repeated use of affirmations in a meditative state can help to rewrite  negative messages and create positive outcomes for individuals —but only if an individual is ready and willing to internalize the affirmation and manifest positive change.

The power of affirmations have not only been grounded in science but we've seen them in literature and the theatre. Remember the movies Working Girl and Rudy? Both stories that demonstrate the power (and tenacity) of...

Are you stuck in work that's unfulfilling, or at worst soul-sucking? Have you been staring at the Starbuck's Barista thinking, "I should just quit and work here?"

Or are you a "rationalizer." You know, one of those people who tells herself that work is called “work” for a reason. That you should be grateful to have job. You also rationalize the fact that you're good at what you do,...

I have a question for you. Are you being yourself in all situations?

If you’re like most people, you’re 90% yourself when you’re with close friends, 50% yourself with casual acquaintances, and hide yourself from strangers.

Why?

Because being your true self in all settings and situations is scary. It requires vulnerability, transparency and integrity. It opens you up for judgement from others. As much as we may say or think we don't care, we are pack animals and...

Goals are very powerful. They keep you focused, on target, and excited about that daily to-do list. More importantly, there are few things more exciting then achieving a big goal.

Not likely!

Great accomplishments require intention. Having intention keeps your mind sharp, alert and always on the look out for the perfect solution.

Of all...

No one quite understands what the holidays mean to those of us who have both a family and career. The planning, logistics, shopping, meal prep, and holiday shopping along with client appointments, emails, shopping for client gifts, and closing out projects before the new year.

And that's just over the Thanksgiving weekend. 

Those closest to us don’t fully understand the level of multi-tasking required to keep it all together. 

It's enough to make you want to stay in...

Burnout is a very real problem, especially for entrepreneurs. Even though partnerships can have their ups and downs, at least you have someone to handle some of the stress and responsibility.

If you're an entrepreneurs, particularly a solopreneurs, you're probably bearing the entire weight of making your business work on your lone shoulders. This amount of responsibility can often lead to working 14+ hour days and losing track of what’s happening in other parts of...
