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!
A very special thank you to our sponsors!

We are delighted to have Steve Lowell back in Toronto for an evening that is guaranteed to take your public speaking skills to the next level, regardless of where you are at right now. In this two-hour workshop Steve will share with you some of the most powerful secrets he has learned about speaking and selling from the stage that from his 30+ years of experience on the stage.

Steve has wowed our group more than once, so we’re truly delighted to have him back in Toronto.
As a professionally trained speaker and trainer, Steve shows you how to completely change the way you speak, present, interact and network so that you become a magnet, pulling others to you. You will transform your belief systems, create a healthy and liberating self-image and develop powerful speaking and presentation skills.

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.

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.
