How do you define success?
Money and Power – the traditional methods of measuring success, right? Including the additional aspect of well-being to the measurement mix was the topic of conversation at The Third Metric last Thursday in New York. The first ever conference focused on a series of discussions that tackled refining success beyond money and power. Such discussion centered around proposing a new metric of success, one that focuses on personal passion, fulfillment, and life balance. While I didn’t attend this conference, I have devoured the...

I just recently read a blog post regarding the quest for perfectionism in our society. It talks about how we strive for perfection in every aspect of our life: work, marriage, parenting, health, fitness, nutrition, etc. and this leads to an overwhelming feeling. We are bombarded with information, news, and media. Basically we know too much, understand too little and measure ourselves to the masses. Too often we attempt to smother fires before they become infernos, just to find another one around the corner. How to calm the mind and attempt to...

read more3 Health Benefits to Women Friendships
I recently celebrated a 50th birthday for a close girlfriend. We all toasted our girlfriend but, more importantly, we toasted our long term friendships and how much they mean in our lives. Milestone events tend to trigger reflection and introspection as well as celebration. And truly, a good group of girlfriends cannot be over estimated and as it turns out, those relationships are good for your health too! While mentors in the workplace certainly have their merit and place, strong support systems outside of the workplace are just as...

I am a tennis player. Well, let me re-phrase: I own a racquet, attend drills and clinics, and play on an organized club team. While I do not aspire to a be a top level player, I do like to hold up my end of the bargain. Yesterday, I played a tennis match and it felt like I had never hit a ball before. Frustrating to say the least! Our coach is implementing a new agressive doubles strategy and while I know it will eventully work, I am not sure he is taking into account the fact that most of my team is comprised of recreation players...
read moreTo Lean or Not to Lean?
To lean or not to lean…that is the question! Sheryl Sandberg’s book has generated a multitude of responses — some positive, some mixed and some outright hostile. The most common complaint theme seems to center on the onus that Sandberg puts the burden on women to change, rather than challenging extra factors that present to most women. But another common refrain is that Sandberg fails to represent all women. As one of the richest and most powerful women in America, she has quite a few resources that most women lack — whether...

I have read so much lately regarding the “Mommy Wars” which pits the Stay at Home Moms vs Working Moms. Just this week an article in New York Magazine, “The Retro Wife,” reports that women are choosing to leave the workplace to care for children. Conversely, Sheryl Sandberg’s book, “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” encourages women to advocate for themselves in their careers so they can move up to key leadership positions. Mix in Yahoo’s relinquishment of their telecommuting programs...

How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions so far? It is hard to stay on track especially if one of your goals was to lose weight. It is a tricky, stubborn issue for adults and children alike. We applaud Coca Cola’s pledge to help raise awareness on the obesity issue and take steps to educate consumers on calorie counts and steps to burn calories. “We’ve learned that consumers love more information from us — and we really believe Coke has the power to connect people in a way that can help solve issues,” Ms. Kronauge said...

We recently ran across this blog that talked about the highlights from the 2013 NEW MEDIA EXPO. This piece talks about trends for 2013. We added ONEmore Thought under each point. 1) To get something, give something. Something good. For free. People will connect with companies they trust, and nothing spurs the growth of a relationship quite like the act of giving. In this case, creating social media accounts, blogs, podcasts, and delivering content of real value – i.e. stuff users actually want and need – helps establish...
