From the Page to the Stage | Jan 28 & 29

If you have ever wanted to be a confident and inspiring public speaker, you’re in luck!

My friend from Ottawa, Public Speaking Mentor Steve Lowell (www.YourPublicSpeakingMentor.com), is offering a two-day intensive course for leaders who need to inspire live audiences and influence others from the stage.

This program has been very popular in Ottawa and Las Vegas, and now it’s coming to Toronto! It’s geared for everyone from professional speakers to those who were mortified to stan d on the stage – with the goal of elevating your skills to new levels.

The focus of the weekend will be on delivering your message in your authentic voice, shedding any armor or protective fronts that might prevent you from making a personal connection with your audience. You’ll also learn advanced platform techniques that professional speakers use to captivate, influence and inspire any audience.

If you have ever wanted to be a more influential speaker, whether you’re already a seasoned pro or beginner just starting out, you will benefit from this program, Steve guarantees it!

I twisted Steve’s arm a little (ok, maybe more than a little), and I convinced him to release 5 seats for me at a ridiculous discount, and he has given me the green light to offer them to whomever I think would benefit most.  Here’s the deal…

The full tuition of the program is $1997. Steve has released 5 seats at $497, PLUS, you can bring a friend for $97! That’s a $4000 value for under $600, but there is a bit of a catch…you have to get registered before 5 PM Saturday, January 21…that’s this coming Saturday.  And, there are only 5 available, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Here’s how it works…

When you register at www.FromThePageToTheStage.com for the Toronto session on January 28 & 29, enter the coupon code “INFLUENCE” and you will receive a $1500 discount, your tuition will be only $497.

Once you have registered, Steve will e-mail you a private coupon code to bring a friend for only $97! That’s a $1900 discount, but there are only 5 of these special seats available!

I can assure you that I will never, ever be able to get this deal again! This is a one-time only, never to be repeated offer, so, if you have even the slightest interest in becoming a powerful, inspiring and influential public speaker, this is your chance!

At the end of this program, you will:

1. Authentically express the real you;
2. Know how to gain the trust and respect of an audience;
3. Feel confident in your stage presence and speaking skills;
4. Use a five-step formula for being a high-impact communicator;
5. Know how to use your body and your voice to add impact, entertainment and expression into your communications;
6. Win over audiences with your new conviction, self assurance and powerful communication skills;
7. Know how to capture your audience’s attention with a compelling opening;
8. Be able to move your audience into action with a powerful closing;
9. Have the tools to deliver an inspiring message on the stage or off the stage, to anyone at any time;
10. Leave this retreat with a renewed sense of accomplishment and excitement about your future.

Creating Authentic Success in 2012 Networking Mixer | Feb 7

When Positive Fabulous Women and CRAVE Toronto get together to host, you know you’re in for a positively luscious mingler – with just the right amount of swank.

This is THE gathering of the season for Toronto’s women entrepreneurs. We will be meeting at the beautiful Local Company on the Danforth to sip French Martinis or Pink Sangrias (or Perrier, as you prefer) while chatting about business (and other matters).

Bring your business cards –- you will meet other, interesting women you’ll want to keep in touch with. But you won’t have to do all the talking.

We’ve invited four very successful entrepreneurs to dish their very best business advice.

Jennifer Ettinger; Fit Your Style (@FitYourStyle)
Leslie Hughes; Punch Media (@punchmediadotca)
Marcy Berg; Mortgages for Women (@marcyberg)
Melissa Ramos; Sexy Food Therapy (@sexyfoodtherapy)

They will be sharing practical ideas that can be implemented right away to make a REAL DIFFERENCE in your business in 2012.

And then the panel discussion will be opened up for questions.

Not sure whether it’s time to expand or stay the course? Unclear about the best way to use social media? Need pricing advice? Want to hear what marketing ideas have worked for our experts and which have NOT?

Ask. You’ll get answers. And LOTS of inspiration.

This invitation will be going out to Positive Fabulous Women and CRAVE Toronto communities so we’re expecting it to fill up quickly. It would be safest to sign up early if you’re hoping to attend (and maybe even enjoy the early bird pricing!). We wouldn’t want to miss you!

Who Are You Meant to Be?

It is said that at the moment of your birth you have an awareness of your potential and an idea of who you are meant to be. In the next moment, this awareness disappears into the unconscious where it becomes our task to uncover it during our lifetime.

Discover your predominant need that must be met in order for you to feel secure and achieve your potential. All too often, we remain unaware of what our built-in needs are and, as a result, they go unmet. We are then at the mercy of our unconscious impulses, emotions and habits of mind. We end up repeating longstanding patterns that get in the way of achieving our goals or creating the life of happiness and satisfaction we want.

In this highly interactive networking event, participants will connect with others who share the same predominant need based on their Striving Style. You will learn how its innate needs and emotional drives dictate your behaviour – personally and professionally. You will find out how to fully leverage your brain’s hard-wiring to achieve your potential and become who you were meant to be.

The Money Breakthrough Method: 3 Keys to Effortlessly Make More Money, Keep More of the Money You do Make and Tame Debt (May 18)

Do you have all the money you want? Are you able to keep enough of the money you have so you’re not just “getting by” but able to realize some of your heart’s desires as well? Does thinking of your financial situation make you feel empowered and in charge of your destiny?

If you answered “No!” to any of these questions, you won’t want to miss this live workshop. Let 2011 be the year you have your Money Breakthrough and absolutely transform your relationship with money!

Women in particular seem to have a challenging relationship with money. Despite our claims that we believe in prosperity and abundance, many women are still plagued with a financial mindset that is rooted in scarcity and fear. This plays out by us having a hard time charging what we’re worth or asking for a raise. We struggle to stay ahead of the cash flow feast-or-famine syndrome. Many are tired of not being able to keep more of the money we work so hard to make.

In this dynamic and interactive workshop you will:

• Discover the ways you are creating energetic leaks in your ability to attract and keep money right now
• Identify and release old limiting beliefs that hold you back from enjoying prosperity
• Let go of any family legacy around finances and money that do not support your prosperity
• Discover how to reclaim your Money Power
• A simple yet powerful method for taming debt
• Receive practical and simple tools and checklists you can use right away so you can quickly and radically transform your relationship with money

The workshop will be facilitated by Carolyn Ellis, the founder of BrillianceMastery.com and a certified Money Breakthrough Method and Money, Marketing & Soul coach. Participants will receive a workbook of course materials.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Jacquie Hermans lived a life in turmoil. She was always in her head, analyzing every aspect of her life. She was never satisfied with her accomplishments, and chastising herself for her failures. She always needed to be prepared, for fear of looking like a failure.

While undergoing extensive improv training, Jacquie’s life forever changed. To overcome that knotted sick feeling in her gut, the sleepless nights of being in her head, the annoying eye twitch or lip quiver that sometimes emerged and her related digestive issues, she created strategies to overcome her thought patterns, breaking through her fears of failure and judgment.

With an employment background in corporate training, extensive education in personality and communications, along with her passion and experience in improv and television, she is now on a mission to transform people to flip their thought patterns to light’n up from the inside out.
