Filed under Past PFW Events
A VERY SPECIAL ENCORE PRESENTATION OF AN ABSOLUTE MUST-SEE MOVIE FOR ANY POSITIVE FABULOUS WOMAN!!!
Some of you may have already seen this movie with us in previous years, but I invite you join us for a healthy dose of inspiration and to kick-start 2012 in the company of other fabulous women!
The movie that will inspire and uplift you by sharing personal life stories and success strategies of accomplished and inspiring positive fabulous women!
How is it that some women are wildly successful, while others, with the same relative education, experience, passion and goals for success, struggle? We all have the same amount of hours in a day, yet some are able to accomplish so much more. What is it that they do so differently? What is it that they possess that is unique? What is it that makes them GLOW?
While it is invisible, women can see it.
While it cannot be touched, women can feel it.
There is a powerful essence inside of every woman—a critical ingredient that only women possess. When realized, nurtured and expanded, it becomes the key to true happiness and success. You deserve happiness, fulfillment, and the opportunity to achieve wild success. STOP what you are doing. Take a breath, and connect with your GLOW.
The GLOW Project has brought together prominent corporate achievers and dynamic entrepreneurs, to share with you how they manifest, unleash and expand GLOW. Witness their struggles and pain and their strategies for success. By focusing on GLOW, they are fulfilling their destinies and achieving more success than they ever imagined. These women exude the kind of grace, confidence and strength that every woman can achieve, while also being mothers, daughters, wives and leaders. The GLOW Project will ignite your spirit and inspire your dreams.
The GLOW Project will show you that, no matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you try, you can never achieve your full potential and happiness without GLOW. GLOW is your birth right as a woman. Your essence, your passion and your dreams can no longer be denied. You ARE brilliant, magnificent, and unequalled! Embrace your essence and forever live in GLOW.

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!

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)
May 2, 2011 by Master-User
Filed under Past PFW Events
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.

You will be inspired, energized and ready to SUCCEED.
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.

Understanding Men: Dating Tips for the Fabulous Single Woman (June 14)
April 28, 2011 by Master-User
Filed under Past PFW Events
Are you frustrated, confused and overwhelmed when it comes to dating?
Are you resigned about finding the right life partner?
Do you wish you could understand what men are looking for when it comes to dating & relationships?
Are you ready to get back into the dating game but don’t know where to start?
In a light-hearted and fun way, Christine will guide you through the often frustrating maze of understanding men. There are always reasons behind behaviours and so often we forget we are OPPOSITE to each other, not VERSIONS of each other. We will be looking at:
- Why we are often so frustrated trying to get what we want or need from men
- What causes a man to be attracted to one woman and not another
- The different types of attraction and how you can get more of the type you want
- How a woman needs to be listened to
- How to have a man communicate more (he wants to!!!)
- Things men presume we know about them, but we don’t… and NOT knowing causes us a lot of hurt feelings and unnecessary battles
Only once you fully understand men, can you create the possibility of having that amazing relationship you’ve always wanted.
Join us at the beautiful Loft 404 ~ Ambrosia Hub to start learning some key distinctions that will begin to transform how you relate to the opposite sex.
