Thursday evening we had a multi-family picnic in an NYC playground under beautiful skies. One friend shared that when she was a girl, her extended family had Sunday dinner at her grandparents’ every week. I asked her if her family still does this today. The expected, and given, answer was “No.” My friend’s story […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about mentoring and got lots of feedback about the need for it. So in the spirit of adult learning, I am going to lead by example and be vulnerable by sharing something that happened to me. Last week, after delivering an all-day corporate workshop, I sent my usual satisfaction […]
Career Clarity Club starts on Wednesday! (There are a few spots left – Get the details here) For years I’ve had this idea of “The Houdini Principle.” It goes like this. How do you change your reality when – like Houdini with his straight jacket, chain, and lacquer box – everything is making you […]
I’ve left my blog post to the last minute because I’m feeling uninspired. Recently I’ve had a few clients land really amazing jobs and promotions, and that’s exciting. But I also have a few right now who are so talented and have amazing work experience, but are waiting longer than they’d like to land the […]

The more we go, the more I hear people say, “Let’s face it, work-life balance is a myth.” And yet the more I work with people, the more I see that they are exhausted and need a little peace. There are all sorts of remedies: Meditation, yoga, vacation. And while those are all a necessary […]
The last few months I’ve been working with a client who has her own business. For her, it’s challenging to always ask to be paid what she’s worth. What she’s forced herself to do is to articulate what she brings to the table. That way when she is challenged, she can say what she is […]
Dear Claire, I need my mojo back! I used to know what I wanted but now I have no idea. Plus, I REALLY don’t know how to get there. And somehow I’ve lost my confidence. Can you help? Signed, Groove Back What would work (and life) be like if you could be clear on […]
