Cow Harbor Day - Northport Harbor, NY - 9/2011

As the Cow Harbor 10k race is approaching in the coming weeks, it suddenly became obvious to me during my last practice run of the course that running a race implies similar strategy as approaching a relationship.

In the beginning, even though the adrenaline rush is taking over and the excitement of the new is heightened, you can’t go out too fast at the start of a race, or rush a relationship to hurry love. Otherwise, you just won’t stand a chance to make it to the finish line strong or really give the relationship the opportunity to develop! It’s all about pacing yourself in the race, and in a relationship. Get connected with yourself and the other person first, so you can determine if you’re compatible.

Challenging hills in a race represent [Continue Reading...]

Incredible views of the camp from the top of the mountain
at Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut! What a sense of triumph from Hiking/Rock Climbing Adventure!!

Here’s to new adventures, good times, and stories to tell for years to come!!

Two weekends ago, I found myself with two of my close friends, Erica and AnneMarie, at Club Getaway getting reacquainted with our inner adult camper, adventurous selves, and lodging in rustic cabins.

On the first day, we hiked the Appalachian Trail for two hours and we conquered Caleb’s Peak and St John’s Ledge with a rainforest like experience on the way back. Steady, Safe, Strong!! This was the Self Mantra that I began to chant with my girls all the way back down the mountain trail to the bus making sure we didn’t slip off the rocks or ledges. It was definitely a fun time, with laughs, and adventures at Club Getaway even in the down pouring rain!

Had an epiphany the other day in realizing how I made it to where I am today in my life. For years, I had been attributing it to hope, determination, being insightful, analytical and resourceful. However, it became quite obvious that it goes beyond just that.

It actually comes down to implementing the special dynamic duo of Hope and Expectations. Similar, yet not quite the same meaning in this respect. Hope, or the faith that my future would be better, is what motivated me. Expectations are what I saw as actions taken based on the Hope. So it was both Hope and Expectations that I had to be successful in life that formed my ambition to create the life that I desired.

Hope and Expectation that my life would be better and [Continue Reading...]

Blog - How to find your dream job-Interviewing v2

On last Thursday, February 9, 2012, I attended my first school advisory board event at Half Hollow Hills High School, where I facilitated roundtable discussions on Job interviewing. So thrilled I had the opportunity to interact with the students and to teach them about real expectations in the corporate world along with how to prepare for the job interview. Really noticeable was the enthusiasm and eagerness to learn that was exhibited from these business class students who attended this smaller more interactive event.

To begin with, the corporate world is so different than academia/college. Definitely keep your sense of wanting to make an impact within a company and to create change. However, recognize that it will probably take time maybe even a few years before you may be able to move [Continue Reading...]
