Guest post by Anne Garland, managing director of eWomenNetwork (Greater Hartford and Shoreline chapter) and founder and creative director of Anne Garland Enterprises. Here’s one secret which I have learned over decades of exploring and adventuring toward success and fulfillment: “Having it all” (whatever “it” means to you, individually) can ONLY happen when you build […]
Sustainable Success
Do what you love. Follow your passion. Live your soul’s purpose. These ideas have an almost universal appeal, and they are, of course, true. Yet how we go about doing this is where many of us get stuck. Some just make the leap—quitting their unfulfilling job, starting a new business, committing to a cause they […]
Creativity after 40
Presence, truth telling, and discernment are just a few attributes of visionaries. Another, which on the surface seems obvious, is creativity, innovation. What is not so obvious is what this actually means. I’ve had many clients tell me they are just not creative people, thinking the term describes only artistic people, but this couldn’t be […]
We Are the 51% #TBT
For this weeks’ #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I wanted to share this post I did on pay equality. With the conversation still going on four years after I originally wrote this it was interesting and sad for me to see things that have not changed. But as we continue to discuss these many unequal threads I’m […]
Women, We Need to Talk
Over the past few months, I’ve traversed the country speaking and reporting, and everywhere I go, I keep hearing the recurring theme of “reimagining.” This paradigm-changing phrase is a favorite of mine, and now it is morphing into a meme . . . especially around retelling our generational story and our her-story. For post-50 women […]
The Mayan Prophecy #TBT
For this weeks #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I’m sharing a post that I wrote at the end of 2012. There was a lot of conversation around fear and the end of the world. With the social climate going on from US elections, to terrorist threats, to the global economy the same conversations are coming up again. […]
The Invisible Woman
Women tend to have the blessing and the curse of being invisible, especially as we approach 50 and beyond. The negative side of being invisible is clear to most of us. The world no longer seems to notice or care about us or what we have to say—if they ever did in the first place. […]
#TBT Boomers Have Values
Boomers have come full circle. Well, almost. The Boomer Values Realignment Study from 2011, showed that the Boomer reaction to the economic downturn and other national and global crises has been to focus more on relationships. The study authors refer to this as “a big shift from consumerism to relationships” as boomers turn inward and […]
Connecting the Dots
When Steve Jobs passed away, at only 56 years old, the world lost a bright visionary innovator. But I’m not going to talk about loss, for the legacy Jobs left was an enormous gain for the world. He was a man who, for better or worse, trusted his gut, his inner voice, even when […]
Passion and Purpose Pay Off
Before I have talked a bit about the shadow self we all have inside and the importance of acknowledging it, understanding it, and using it for our success and in our own leadership. Today, I want to talk about the light. The visionary voice inside us is that light, the one that guides us and […]
