By Lucy M. Pritchett
Susan Conway admits to drinking multiple cups of coffee each day — and says she has for years — but until she became general manager of Fante’s Coffee, she never knew exactly what went into making a fine cup of java.

What Works for this Theater Operations Manager
By Lucy M. Pritchett
If you've ever attended one of the excellent theatrical productions put on by CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center, you have most likely seen Anne Ensign-Urteaga. OK. That statement may be a little misleading. She won't be in costume singing or dancing but instead, as operations manager for the community theater, she comes on stage before the start of the show to welcome the audience and make brief announcements.

She Spent a Year Planning this Halloween Party
By Lucy M. Pritchett
If the idea of picking up a couple of bags of candy and carving a pumpkin for your front porch is your idea of preparing for Halloween, you might want to show a little compassion for Stephanie Bromback. Stephanie is the special events coordinator at the Louisville Zoo and spends a year planning The World's Largest Halloween Party! for kids 11 and under. The fun, which runs Thursdays through Sundays, begins this year on October 5 and ends on October 29.

What Works for this Cellist/Doula
By Lucy M. Pritchett
OK, I didn’t think I would ever be composing a sentence that combined the words ‘cellist’ and ‘doula.’ And yet...
Grace Salsman is a cellist and a doula. It's a good thing she has her faithful Plum Paper customized calendar/agenda to keep her many appointments organized. Here are just a few activities that Grace handles with, well, grace.

What Works for Lisa Stevenson
By Lucy M. Pritchett
If you happen to be at any one of the Kentucky Derby Festival events this year, look for a small woman with a big smile, bursting with enthusiasm and energy. That will be Lisa Stevenson, the 2017 chairman of the Kentucky Derby Festival. Please stop her and say ‘hello.’

What Works for Liz Everman
By Lucy M. Pritchett
We recently caught up with Liz Everman, our 2004 Most Admired Woman/Media, and we’re glad we did. Liz continues to report on Wednesday’s Child with WLKY News Channel 32 and is chair of Wednesday’s Child Incorporated, which helps recruit and provide support to adoptive families of older foster children, some with special needs.

Three Things that Work for Rachel Brewer
By Lucy M. Pritchett
Bookseller Rachel Brewer received a holiday bonus this year from an unexpected source.
Author James Patterson, a generous supporter of independent bookstores, gave $250,000 in holiday bonuses divided among 149 deserving independent bookstore employees. Rachel was one of two booksellers from Carmichael’s Bookstore to receive a bonus. (Shout-out to Jason Brown, the other bonus recipient.)

What Creative Tools Work for Her, and something she travels with
By Lucy M. Pritchett
She works at one of the most peaceful spots in Louisville. Her desk overlooks the lake where generations of families have come to relax and feed the ducks. A place where one can have a moment of quiet reflection in the midst of a bustling urban environment.
Cave Hill Cemetery may not be one’s first choice as a workplace, but for Kayla Wessling, who just turned 27, it almost seems a logical one. Kayla is originally from Batesville, Indiana, a town known for its manufacturing of caskets and cremation urns. Both her mother and father work for Batesville Casket Company, as well as a sprinkling of other relatives.

Gift Ideas for Your Man
By Lucy M. Pritchett
“Luxury shouldn’t cost a fortune.”
Although many entrepreneurs start a business from their basement or garage, Matt Multerer took his idea to another level. He founded Finespun Clothing from a bedroom on the second floor of his house in Louisville.
After working for years in the financial industry with its de rigueur conservative Navy Blue Jackets, Matt felt it was time to develop his own fashion business for the discerning man. In April 2016, he founded Finespun Clothing, an online shop featuring men’s business casual wear.

What Works for Stefanie Griffith (and her hair museum)
By Lucy M. Pritchett
A hair museum? Not someplace one would normally think of as actually existing. But in celebration of its 31st year, Strandz Salon & Threadz Boutique Owner Stefanie Griffith thought creating such a place would be entertaining as well as a chance to celebrate the history of the business. Also, she found it a way to appease her curiosity about the history of All Things Hair.

Everyone Needs a Jenny
By Lucy M. Pritchett
“Let me get that for you.”
What overworked, overscheduled, and overwhelmed woman (or man) hasn’t longed to hear those words? This is why Genevieve Foxworth decided to name her personal concierge business just that.

What Works for Skylar Smith
What works for Skylar reflects her artist’s path, her way of spicing up her vegetarian meals, and her trick to keeping her cold drinks cold.
By Lucy M. Pritchett
Sometimes artist Skylar Smith works small and intimate and sometimes she works large and public. In her own private art world, the work often deals with biology and the growth patterns of plants and animals. “I have a scientific interest,” she says. “Studying micro- and macroscopic imagery. Exploring patterns and similarities.”

What Works for this New Mom
By Lucy M. Pritchett
What works for a woman will be different in each stage of life. For instance, Jennifer London is a new mom, and what is working for her right now is an app called Baby Nursing. It is geared for breastfeeding moms and lets the new mother track nursing progress, growth, diaper changes, and doctor’s visits.

Claire Alagia’s Three Favorite Things
By Lucy M. Pritchett
Claire Alagia spent 25 years with Bittner’s, an interior design firm helping people take their homes from fair to fabulous. She retired as CEO in 2011 and took five years off to care for her father during his illness. It is perhaps not so strange that she transitioned from the business of interiors to real estate and now is a realtor with Wakefield Reutlinger Realtors.
Although she wasn’t part of the design team at Bittner’s, she has seen the inside of many a Louisville home. Now she is seeing homes from a different vantage point.

A Fascination With All Things Victorian
By Lucy M. Pritchett
Deborah Lutz admits to having a penchant for things that edge on the creepy. To wit: the framed display of butterfly wings fashioned into a blue and yellow design that hangs on her living room wall. Or the two soft-brown moths, each the size of your palm, that are forever frozen — framed and under glass — that reside in her bedroom.
