Jan 22, 2016 | Contributor: Todd JatrasThe second day of the World Economic Forum in Davos is all about the business at hand. According to Bloomberg, the average cost of attending what’s been jokingly referred to as the “Burning Man for Billionaires,” is north of $50,000—so it’s time to make it pay off. Participants can be seen running nonstop from panels to private meetings to parties. You certainly won’t hear many of them discussing their weekend ski plans. ... Read More |

Sep 24, 2013 | Contributor: Carol DriverAnna Hill is the type of person every woman needs in her life. We’ve been talking for only 45 minutes, and already my mind is focused and my action plan is forming before my eyes. Hill is a fixer, a sorter, a de-clutter(er) who uses her skills and experience to advise women on how to take the next step in their lives. You know, things like: the business idea that will make you millions, the never-ending paperwork that won't go away, getting a new job or even the home that needs to be organized and boxed up before it’s sold....

Sep 12, 2011 | Contributor: Suzanne AaronsonAfter living abroad in Paris, Buenos Aires, and London for many years, I moved back to the U.S. in spring 2010 and settled in a gorgeous farmhouse in Greenwich, CT. Lots of rolling countryside, plenty of space, fresh air, some of my own farmed food – and less than an hour from the city that never sleeps, New York. Now I find myself spending more and more time in this city that has so much to offer and is so great in autumn.... Read More |

Aug 22, 2011 | Contributor: Deidre WoollardIs branding, as thoughtleader Wally Olins says, "a profound manifestation of the human condition?" Olins might be overstating the case a bit but he does hit on something fundamental when he says that branding is about belonging and the search for identity. We are what we buy? One only needs to look at a friend's Facebook page to see character defined in terms of favorite television shows, restaurants, sports teams and more. Branding is everywhere. ... Read More |

Jul 18, 2011 | Contributor: Deidre Woollard | 1 CommentEvery basic economics class teaches supply and demand, it is the cornerstone of the capitalist economy. But what has often been a mystery is how demand is created in the first place. We all know the urgency of demand when we feel it, that spark of lust for the newest iteration of the iPhone or the latest Marc Jacobs purse. It's more than price that fuels this desire, it's the intangible, the magic. Demand: Creating What People Love Before They Know They Want It by Adrian J. Slywotzky seeks to deconstruct that magic by looking at successful brands, companies, and products that inspire this type of response.... Read More |
