Bring your passion – and your business cards – to our September mingler and to start your fall with some luscious inspiration!
Please join us for an evening of connections & networking and a fire-you-up speaker to help you get back to your business and support you in meeting your goals for 2010 with special guest speaker Pat Mussieux who will talk about the 7 Steps to Growing Your Business By Getting Out of Your Own Way. Well-known as “The Queen of Networking,” Pat has x-ray vision for seeing relationship-building opportunities and the creativity to convert them into clients! (please see full bio below).
- Complimentary hors d’oeuvres
- Please bring your business cards, positive attitude and desire to contribute!
In this presentation, Pat Mussieux will share with you the powerful mindset and marketing techniques that she has mastered over the past few years – that have taken her from ‘hell to happy’! You will come away with tangible, relevant, meaningful, easy-to-apply steps that you can use TODAY to help you:
- understand the No. 1 barrier to entrepreneurial success
- learn 3 easy ways to find money on the table, and
- learn the one thing you are NOT doing now, that you must begin today……in order to grow your business!
Pat will help to make it easy for you – so you can get out of your own way and grow your business, starting today!
About Pat Mussieux:
After 15 years of training executives at companies like Stantec, The Westin Hotel, Sherritt International and other private sector organizations, she left the corporate world and put her skills to the test as an entrepreneur. Having stepped in and out of her business for the past 20 years, Pat contracted with a millionaire business coach in 2009 to help make quantum leaps in her business.
In just 1 short year, Pat created a six-figure home-based business after having moved across the country, leaving her 22-year marriage with virtually nothing – and starting life over in a new city across the country. She is an undisputed expert on mindset and marketing, and how to make BIG money doing what you love!
Pat is the author of “The 7-Step Guide To Growing Your Business by Building Confidence and Courage”, teaching women entrepreneurs how to get their message out and enjoy massive results, removing the self-imposed barriers of habits, attitudes, beliefs and expectations! Recently, Pat was nominated for the 2010 RBC Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Through her coaching programs and products, Pat shows her clients how to experience freedom inside and out and create the life they truly want to live, now! It’s a ‘no-excuses’ approach!

What’s On Your Bucket List? (Aug 18)
August 1, 2010 by Master-User
Filed under Past PFW Events
First of all, what is a “bucket list”? A bucket list is quite simply the things we want to achieve before we “kick the bucket”. It could be learning a new language, starting your own business, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, getting a degree after the kids have gone off to university, or owning a cottage. It is those dreams we keep putting off to another day, often a day that never comes.
Join us for a workshop that will help you bring your dreams back to life!
In this 2-hour workshop, we will use a variety of media from handouts and whiteboards to discussions and Q&A exercises throughout the seminar to help you create your own personal Bucket List.
This interactive workshop will help you:
- Find clarity about your most important priorities and passions
- Get inspired by the stories of others as they share their dreams
- Come away empowered with new techniques and tools to tackle the things that you’ve always wanted to do!
This workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to share and explore life’s ambitions and the means to achieve them in a fun, collaborative environment that elicits the powerful inspiration that lies within us all to bring our visions to life and find fulfillment and joy!
The workshop will be led and facilitated by Susan Wright, founder of Wright Momentum, a lifestyle coaching and consulting company that inspires people and organizations to engage in a process of change that generates renewed energy, synergy and collaboration. As a seeker of experience, a masterful designer, and guide for handling new and uncomfortable terrain, she helps people rapidly develop trust to arrive at conscious choices and inspired action to successfully manage change and create desired results.

Our guest speaker for this evening is Anne Dimon, CEO of Travel to Wellness Inc. She will reveal her journey as an entrepreneur, as well as the joys & challenges when traveling the globe as a respected travel writer/international spa journalist meets the 24/7 reality of running a business.
Anne will share with us how the idea was conceived during a nine-day, six-airline tour, the challenges of being a one-woman band, and why she recently went retro with the launch of a print version of the magazine. She’ll reveal the secrets to how her six-year-old website remains at the top of related searches, and the recent pivotal point decision she made to take the business to the next level. Lastly, how her reputation as a journalist has both helped and hindered and how she maintains editorial credibility when also trying to sell advertising.
ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST
Anne Dimon has an enviable job. For close to 20 years she’s been traveling the world as a travel writer/columnist, spa and hospitality industry journalist and, currently, as editor-in-chief of TraveltoWellness.com. Her Toronto-based company Travel to Wellness Inc. owns the six-year-old premiere online wellness travel magazine and has recently launched a print issue.
Prior to her life as a journalist, Anne was director of PR at a major Toronto hotel then left to become president of her own public relations company. In her early career, she worked in broadcasting – radio and television – both on-camera and behind the scenes. Somewhere in there she also found time to create a line of travel fashions.
An avid runner and half-marathoner, she walks the talk and in 2006 was recognized by the Ontario Free-Tobacco Network for her contribution to the implementation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act.

We then tie our movements together into an earth-shattering chair dance routine that will leave everyone feeling exhilarated and breathless. Then we will TAKE IT TO THE POLES where we learn how to dance, spin and twirl on the pole, finishing off an unforgettable pole dancing routine!
Not quite sure you’re ready for this? Please read on…
What can I expect to do at the class?
We will start with a gentle warm up, followed by a lesson in sensual movement, chair dancing and pole dancing.
I’m a bit shy, can I still participate?
Absolutely! Our classes are designed for beginners. Everyone feels shy at first but we’ll make you feel comfortable in no time. Our classes are not about getting it right. So long as you are willing to have a laugh and try something new, you will definitely enjoy yourself.
Who are your instructors?
All of our instructors are regular women like you with regular day jobs that have been trained by the Aradia Fitness Franchise to offer the best quality party instruction.
What should I wear?
Most groups just wear what they are going out in later that night. Be sure to wear clothes that you can easily move in. Short skirts can create a challenge since you will be constantly focused on pulling your skirt down. If you opt to bring a change of clothes, yoga wear is a great option. However, keep in mind that you will only have about 5 minutes to change afterwards so you’ll want to bring clothes that are easy to change in and out of.

Sundays with the Muse: Introduction to Capoeira for Women (Nov 22)
November 23, 2009 by Master-User
Filed under Past Community Events
Experience the beauty and exuberance of the Afro-Brazilian art form capoeira, an intriguing blend of dance, martial art, music and ritual.
This workshop is a gentle introduction into the fascinating and rich world of the Afro-Brazilian martial art, capoeira. With origins reaching back to the brutal world of slavery in colonial Brazil, capoeira incorporates elements of African, Indigenous and European cultures. The hypnotizing and joyful music, the camaraderie of the circle, the circular and powerful movements, all lead the body and senses to an experience that is both grounded and deeply spiritual.
Lang Liu has been practising capoeira for over 13 years. She has taught capoeira in Toronto for over 7 years and recently founded the ‘Filhos de Bimba Toronto’ school of capoeira, whose mother school is based in Brazil under the guidance of Master Nenel, son of legendary Master Bimba. Lang is currently writing a thesis at the University of Toronto based on her experiences of capoeira as an embodied form of knowledge with the potential to transform lives.
