	JANUARY 27, 2010 Balance on Your Terms It does exist. It doesn't exist. Well, maybe it does. No one can agree whether the ever-elusive Life/Work balance is a myth or a possibility – and you've probably changed your mind on that one a time or two.

	NOVEMBER 16, 2009 Collaborate or Evaporate We're talking about infusing positive "feminine" attributes (think collaboration, communication and empathy) into the way business is done. And now your cause has been taken up by … the recession?!

	NOVEMBER 6, 2009 The Best Coat for Your Body If only coat shopping was as much fun as shoe shopping, where one style fits almost all.

	OCTOBER 21, 2009 Control Your Time Hey there, Ms. Independent. Tired yet? Sure, you could run the company single-handedly. But there are only 24 hours in a day. And delegating responsibilities might help you be more efficient and still have time for you.

	OCTOBER 14, 2009 Cultivate Your Curiosity Sure, you look years younger than that pesky driver's license indicates. But how young is your spirit? If it's been a while since you felt that burning desire to know more about everything, consider this.
	OCTOBER 13, 2009 Be the Idea Lady You're smartly using the financial downturn to turn up the dial on innovation! After all, that's the next step to "Madame Chairwoman" – or bringing your own business out of the slump into in a blaze of glory. Ready to start innovating?
	OCTOBER 12, 2009 Retire Rich If you see the glass as half full, you're more likely to be on track with your plan than your more pessimistic friends – even when it comes to retirement. What better time to re-evaluate and make sure your retirement plan is working for you?
