My mother was known as a very wise woman. On a regular basis, women would come to our house seeking my mother’s wisdom. I vividly recall her various friends sitting around the kitchen table, waiting for my mom to help them solve their issues and make sense of their predicament. She somehow had a knack at understanding people and seeing through to the truth in every situation.
One of my mother’s favorite...
I met Wendy at a networking event in October. While the two of us talked, it wasn’t long before we discussed plans to meet for lunch. Deep in conversation, Wendy told me that her mother was involved in a weekly women’s group. She said that they referred to it as the “Angel Group”.

Are you a girlfriend that has perfected the art of worrying? If you have, I’m not surprised. Most women I come across have spent a good portion of their life practicing this sport. Let me be honest— there have been points in my own life where I wasted my valuable time taking part in this activity. But is it really worth it?
They say that 40% of what you worry about never...
My husband has a bad habit. He likes to make lists of tasks that he feels I need to accomplish. As you might imagine, this doesn’t go over very well with me. You know why? I don’t like to be told what to do. I’m going to guess that most people don’t like being told what to do or what needs to be changed in their own lives. If you’re anything...
By now, I think everyone knows that I spent my Thanksgiving holiday in New York City with my family. What stereotypes come to your mind when you think about New York City? Do you think about the high crime rate and how unsafe you are in the big city? Does it immediately come to your mind how rude and abrasive people are? Let me share the following story with you.

Thus I found myself dialling Mr Cat's phone number. As a gentle refresher this person is very good friends with my CEO and was working for a well known, publicly listed, financial services company. The original strategy had been for him to introduce me to his 'contact list' in the middle...
By this stage I was sitting in the centre of Dubai wondering how on earth I was going to make this role work. I was living with some very generous hosts and their felines, who were good friends of the CEO (the humans not the cats). What had failed to be...
