This past week, I had the privilege of attending a retreat for a group I joined called Epic F.I.T. in Phoenix, AZ. For two days, I surrounded myself with high-vibration entrepreneurs and visionaries, and I learned a lot about myself and the person I want to continue to grow into. It was quite transformational. I also got to see my mom and my brother since they both live in Phoenix. During lunch, my brother shared with us that he joined a curling class, and this is a HUGE DEAL and let me tell...

"How do they do it without getting into an accident?" I commented to my husband as we were transported from one part of town to the next in a small green taxi. "I suppose it’s about decisiveness and trust," he replied as we navigated an intersection that felt like organized chaos. "It’s like improv!" I exclaimed, the realization striking me just as we arrived at our destination in the center of San Miguel de Allende, MX. "You have to react in the moment without hesitation, based on what...

Hi Reader, I love trying new things, and last week, I had the honor of working with Hillside Communications in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Aside from it being a wonderful meeting and workshop, I got to eat a few things that I hadn’t tried before: Traditional hot pot A fruit called Salak, A.K.A the Snake Fruit And a tea egg Okay, so how does bravely ordering or taking a bite of something you have never had before relate to public speaking? Everything. I believe that if you want to be really good...

Hi Reader, One of the things I love most about my work is getting to meet so many incredible people dedicated to making the world better. I started off the year by joining a networking group called BrEpic. I was drawn to their give-to-give mentality and thrilled at the prospect of connecting with other entrepreneurs aiming for a bigger impact. And now enters, Maxine Cunningham, CEO of Pick My Brain, one of the remarkable members I met. I wanted you to hear about Maxine because she’s deeply...

Hi Reader, One of the activities I volunteer my time for is serving on the board at my daughter's school to help raise funds for arts education. This isn't something that the Department of Education prioritizes (yep, even in New York City), so it's up to individual schools to find the funds. The silver lining is that we get to choose the programming. This past week, to close out Women's History Month, we hosted two assemblies and invited the wonderfully talented Jenny DiNoia to talk to the...

Hi Reader, If you aren't familiar with the Grundei Coaching Network yet, I'd love to share it with you. A little over 3 years ago, I had the idea to start an improv for speakers program called Confidently Speaking because there were three things I loved: teaching improv, community, and helping people like you grow as speakers in a brave and supportive space. Why? Because I'm convinced that everyone has the potential to captivate audiences, whether you're presenting, speaking, or storytelling,...

Dear Reader, This past week, I got to work with the crew from Hillside Communications for a training in Dallas, TX, for medical professionals, and I always love these opportunities because of the challenge they present. In certain fields, like medicine, there are a lot of things these experts can and cannot say. Compliance is a really big deal because of the risk involved in giving misinformation, speaking off-brand, etc. The Hillside Communications Team The question that always comes up in...

Hi Reader, I was in a conversation with someone this past week who purchased a large plot of land and hadn't really known what to do with it for the past 14 years, until one day he received a phone call that someone wanted to purchase a small portion of it. He embraced the opportunity and also suggested a collaboration of sorts. Before he knew it, a beautiful, bold, and very large piece of art had appeared on the land, destined to draw attention from sightseers far and wide. This artwork will...

Hi Reader, Ugh, for the longest time, I wouldn't take a dance class and commit to it, because I had worked so hard as a dancer in my younger life and walked away feeling defeated and wounded by comments like, 'You have two left feet,' from my college dance instructor because I struggled going across the floor on my left side. Being rejected after an audition, or other dancers asking when I was going to shed my 'baby fat,' etc. The sad part was that I LOVED it. I felt alive when I danced, but...
