Take 2
Yesterday, I had the privilege of being on a movie set right here in Hoboken. My cousin's daughter (my first cousin once removed, to be exact) is one of the producers. It's essentially a boxing movie and they were filming a scene between the boxer and his ex-wife....
Motivational Monday!
I listened to a podcast where Adam Grant interviewed Emmanuel Acho about goals, or I should say Acho's "anti-goal-setting" approach. Since I am a firm believer in goals, I had to hear Acho's take. In the end, Acho's approach is absolutely a version of goal setting...
Not Cool
Last night I hosted my Leadership Masterclass and we discussed Emotional Intelligence. When it comes to leadership, Emotional Intelligence is one of the top 3 things a leader should be concerned with and is one of the skills her or she should commit to improving—it's...

Head in the Sand
Recently, I started watching a docuseries entitled, "Rotten," on Netflix. They travel deep into the heart of the food supply chain to reveal unsavory truths and expose hidden forces that shape what we eat and drink. It's absolutely dumbfounding what happens to...
1000 Piece Puzzle
While we were visiting the fabulously festive Bryant Park this weekend, we purchased a puzzle. I was very excited last night when my daughter asked if we could spend the night doing it. Our M.O. is usually to buy a puzzle, put the puzzle away, and never see...
