It’s not often that you’re present at the precise moment something special happens — and that’s what makes those events so inspirational: a wedding, the birth of a baby, watching an athlete break a world record. Last week, I had the honor of being present for one of those special moments. My Weight Watchers gal pal, Sheryl, received her version of a “lifetime” achievement award. Literally. After 21 years on being on-again, off-again with Weight Watchers, Sheryl not only reached her goal weight (a loss of nearly 75 pounds), but she kept the weight off for six weeks. She has battled nearly all her adult life with weight issues, and has now found the tools (and self-respect) to put them in their place. “Lifetime,” too, because that’s the name that Weight Watchers gives to the membership status of those who are able to maintain their goal weight.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.
And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.
I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
