Can We Connect Our Past to the Present, and Our Present to the Future?

By: Susan Capurso

Tuesday, October 15, 2019
When we think about our grandparents’ great-grandparents, do we know anything? And why would that matter? So, you’re thinking, what I don't know won't hurt me. Maybe it can. There is something very deep and significant in knowing our bloodline. Knowing where we came from and who we came from gives us a sense of validation and purpose. ...read more

Bravery Conditioning

By: Maggi Lee

Friday, September 20, 2019
I have always had a fear of writing. English was my second language, so I always felt insecure about my written and verbal communication. Naturally, for my undergraduate studies I chose to major in English Literature to overcome my fear. I imagined, once I am done with my studies I would go on to be a great writer and storyteller. I finished my undergraduate degree successfully and felt more secure in the power of my written and verbal communication to delivering my message. I was, however, ...read more

The Power of Information

By: Laura I. Joseph

Sunday, September 1, 2019
I recently had the privilege of meeting and hearing Chris Gardner speak. It caused me to reflect on what I do for a living, how I do it and why I love what I do. For those who don’t know Chris Gardner, he is the Will Smith character in the film “The Pursuit of Happyness.” As compelling as that movie was, (and I don’t know of any parents who don’t squirm as Will Smith’s character deals with the challenges of taking care of his son), the book is even more amazing. ...read more

Where are all the Mentees?

By: Beth Meixner

Saturday, June 1, 2019
Each June we begin anew with our Ms Moxxie group mentoring program for young professional women. And each year, I encounter the same challenge of recruiting 30 young women as our mentees. You would think that most young women would embrace the rare opportunity to get a mentor at the onset of their careers. Yet each year I find myself asking... ...read more

Your Mindset Matters

By: Beth Meixner

Saturday, February 2, 2019
I was reading an article entitled The Career Mindset Trick That Will Help You Reclaim Success at Work by Solange Lopes, Founder & Editor at The Corporate Sister. I agree with Solange when she writes that a “career-driven mindset focused on growth and overcoming obstacles, while still taking responsibility for our own path” is crucial for success. She explains that when we lose this “warrior spirit” we give up on our growth and begin assuming lesser roles. And even worse, accepting lesser ...read more

In Appreciation of Enthusiastic Contrarians

By: Lisa Pomerantz

Friday, January 25, 2019
Beth Meixner, my dear friend and client and founder of Moxxie Network and Moxxie Mentoring Foundation, refers to me as her "enthusiastic contrarian". And I take this as a compliment! I view my role as an attorney to identify risks, to point out information that might have not been considered, and, generally, in Beth's words, "to solve problems before they happen." I am fortunate that she sees the benefit of doing so, because the saved ...read more

Business Isn't School

By: Beth Meixner

Saturday, January 5, 2019
I read an article entitled The Single Biggest Mistakes I’ve Seen Women Make at Work by Sallie Krawcheck, Chair of Ellevate Network. Sallie expressed the idea that women (particularly young women) are mistaking business for school. They think that working hard, delivering a great product on time and on budget and plodding through with their heads down will get them promotions, raises or even noticed. ...read more

Its About Respect

By: Beth Meixner

Friday, April 1, 2016
I am not a writer or blogger - in fact, I hate to write, but... I found myself compelled to comment on Kelly Ripa's brief departure from and return to Live with Kelly & Michael show this week. ...read more
