About Laurie Klein Photography

When you first meet Laurie Klein you might guess that she helps empower women, but you would never guess her method - Infrared Photography

She is known today as both a successful photographer with a signature style, and an instructor of healing workshops that celebrate women by helping them re-discover their core purpose, strengths, passions and joys.

Her life long commitment to the art of photography began 41 years ago in high school. "I didn't really discover my passion, my passion discovered me." Laurie said.

Turning from just taking pretty pictures, Laurie sought to perfect her craft by attending the photography program at R.I.T. and then getting her M.F.A. from Ohio University.

Later, Ansel Adams became one of her heroes and mentors. He taught her that discovering her own artistic voice was the gateway to becoming a fine artist.

"Her style is unique, combining a wonderful ability for composition and a sensitivity to her subjects that will carry her to the top of her field. I can't teach the way she sees and feels!" - Ansel Adams

Today, she is recognized mostly for her signature infrared photography. Her work is held in private collections and museums. She is sought after for her exclusive commissions and extraordinary creativity workshops.

Laurie's unique way of using infrared photography, and the caring, personal way she captured her subject's innermost emotions almost always became a transformational experience for both photographer and client. Today, she calls that "The Laurie Klein Experience." As time went on, she added to her shoots, the wisdom, ritual and spirituality that only 30 years experience can gather.

Sitting on the deck of her lakeside studio, she watches the clouds and their reflection in the water below. She is preparing for another Bodies in Water workshop. Nine women, all very accomplished in their own careers, will be coming for The Laurie Klein Experience. Laurie will begin with a ritualistic time of self-discovery and sharing. Each will have brought a camera, so that they may photograph one another and be photographed by Laurie.

Katrina Kelly Jewelry ignites the splendor of bygone eras and captures timeless beauty. The line is an 18k gold and platinum collection featuring an array of colored gemstones. Katrina’s style has an ancient, heirloom and cultural feel, enlivened with a flare of modern whimsy.

Katrina initially enrolled in design school to be fashion designer, yet found her interests gravitated towards a world of gems and precious metals. She was captivated by jewelry’s intrinsic, mystical, and symbolic attributes. After earning a Fine Arts degree in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design, Katrina trained with esteemed jewelry masters in Florence, Italy. She then received hands-on experience at a fine Turkish jewelry company and worked as a bench jeweler under the tutelage of several designers.

The collection is a style and look that fuses cultures, and combines fine intricate mastery with an exotic vibe. Katrina takes cues and inspiration from her travels, her curiosity of other cultures, her awe of divinity and her love for all things that sparkle and shine.

Nina Basharova - Award winning fine jewelry designed from reclaimed metals, all made in New York.

Born in the Russian Federation and raised in the Ukraine, Nina Basharova's artistic journey began while being exposed to her parent's community of actors, writers and painters. She was inspired by that creative environment and merged her love for culture with an affinity for jewellery steeped in history.

She began her studies with Fine Arts while living in the Ukraine and went onto get a degree in Jewellery Design at the Art College in Haifa. There she was twice honored with the prestigious and had her work displayed in the Museum of Art in Ramat Gan.

She arrived in New York in 2002 throughout this time she has been diligently creating her own collection, focusing on carving out her own original identity of hand finished pieces that blend together an artisan's eye for craft and detail with a truly modern sensibility. Each one of her collections has been recognized by press and various jewellery competitions for an individual piece of work.

A piece from her first collection "Milky Way" was included in the book "500 Bracelets" (Larks Books, 2005) and then again in the follow up book, "500 Earrings." In 2006, the collection was chosen by World Gold Council and panel of jewellery trade experts for promotion.

She has received many international and illustrious awards, including: 
Geometrichemozioni 2006 by 'Trissinooro

In addition her work has recently been featured in numerous consumer magazines like Cosmopolitan, Modern Bride, The Knot as well as upscale jewellery trade periodicals: Vioro(Italy), Lustre, Modern Jeweler and JCK Magazine.

Exclusivity is an important ingredient in her recipe for success. Most of Lady Golf's clothing labels carry European labels. "Europeans are extremely creative and have a passion for quality and design. I very much appreciate that and so do my clients!" She attempts to not carry items that can be purchased in the local golf stores or Country Clubs so her clientele will not see themselves coming and going. If an item is sold in a discounter you will not see it in her store.

Like so many other small business owners her philosophy focuses on service and quality. I cater to the richest women in the world. I also have moms, real estate agents, teachers as clients and they all want quality and service and ...... They are willing to pay for it. "My clients may make a deeper investment in what they buy from me, but again the quality and timelessness of the clothing make them a very good value."

Personal service is Lady Golf's middle name! Roger Genuin of Walter Genuin Golf and Dress in Munich Germany, recently personally delivered orders to Lady Golf customers. " Clients want attention and service when they spend their money and we give it to them."

I'm a Couture Designer based in Wales - UK, specialising in Corsetry. I also create unique Corseted Bridal Wear and Ball Gowns, Evening Wear and Lingerie

In my work I have been lucky enough to receive commissions from Sir Hardy Amies Royal Couturier, London and Rigby and Peller Royal Corsetiers, London.

Over the last 18 years my Couture Corsetry designs have been seen in some of London's best boutiques, some excellent Welsh boutiques and has been shown several times on Television and in Magazines.

I have designed and made Historical and Theatrical Costume

Craft, Innovation and Technology interest me greatly.

Studying Costume History and Art History I was always fascinated by the resourcefulness of our forebears, the human desire to explore and develop ideas.

As a nominated member of Wales Innovators' Network - a supporting organisation for inventors and innovators, I have had the wonderful opportunity of exhibiting my work at The British Female Inventors and Innovators Show, London, The Salon Des Inventions, Geneva and the British Invention Show, London.

My new company "Inspired by Ruby" is dedicated to developing lingerie garments that will improve the lives of women everywhere.

The birth of Laxmi's Delights My experiments – informed not just by culinary creativity, but also by my bachelor’s degree in chemistry – ultimately led to the creation of a line of boutique specialty foods. My forte in balancing tastes and harmonious flavors, passion for food and innovative recipes, has led me to create the now famous gourmet spiced nuts, which I shared with family and friends during entertaining. After years of sharing these mouthwatering treats with friends many urged me to package them for a wider audience.

I made attractive little packages for local specialty stores. The buyers requested for more because the products were flying off the shelf. And so it was that in 2000, I founded Laxmi's Delights. As a professional food consultant, writer and author, I have carved a creative niche in specialty food marketplace.

Packaging the Organic Flaxseed Spreads, as the next best invention for Laxmi’s Delights product line was a natural, especially when I discovered that guests both adults and children at my home were gobbling them up with crackers, breadsticks, or right off the spoon!

Golden Flaxseed Spread with Dates and Orange Juice was awarded Outstanding New Product 2007 Finalist by the NASFT. Flaxseed by itself is bland in taste but as a Spread it’s a Home Run! It’s nutritious, intriguing, very satisfying, and absolutely scrumptious. Many are using our organic spreads as an alternative to peanut butter, jam and mayonnaise. I hope you'll too.

Two decades later – a wonderful and fascinating culinary journey, I have made the transition from a reluctant presence in the kitchen to an innovative chef, skilled teacher, accomplished food writer and produced award winning gourmet foods.

For me, the greatest high in cooking comes from the people who eat my products and cook from my books. I remember one admirer telling me that after trying my cauliflower and broccoli recipes, he could tell his father proudly that he now ate the much-maligned broccoli. One person acknowledged she lost 30 pounds cooking and eating regularly from my cookbook. Organic Flaxseed Spreads are a hit with youngsters. Adults rave about satisfying tastes.

I hope you too like our products. Please enjoy sharing them at the family table.

Vizini® is a revolutionary, STRAPLESS sun visor for everyone who is concerned about eye damage caused by the sun, furrowed brows (the #1 injection location), the headaches and, of course, that dreadful hat-hair caused by traditional sun visors. This is a sun visor you should wear every day, year round. It was created for everyone under the sun

Vizini® Is Proudly Made in the USA

• The Vizini visor has a unique patented design that allows you to attach to your sunglasses or prescription glasses.
• The Vizini visor does not clamp onto your head or have a strap as with most traditional visors so there’s no headache. It barely touches your forehead.
• “I can’t even tell I have it on!” is the initial response from many people to the most comfortable sun visor you will find.

Try one and see.

I am continually asked, “How did you come up with Vizini®?” I created Vizini® when my children were on soccer and swim teams. I found myself, along with the other parents, continuously holding my hand over my eyes. (Having curly hair makes putting a hat on my head a dubious decision and wearing a traditional sun visor always gives me a headache).

The first strapless sun visor is created!

I sat down at my kitchen table one day and began cutting the bills off my husband’s baseball caps. After many failed attempts, I arrived at the design you see today. When I began to wear Vizini® I had a revelation. The muscles around my eyes had become accustomed to being relaxed when I was in the sun, whereas before, I was squinting and furrowing my eyebrows – making wrinkles – without even realizing it.

No more squinting… no more furrowed brows… I am compelled to market my invention to anyone concerned about eye damage caused by the sun, wrinkled brows, the headaches caused by traditional sun visors and — of course — hairstyles ruined by wearing a hat.

Once you start wearing Vizini®, you truly want to wear it all the time.

From her home in Suffolk, Jane O’Riordan (née Hamerton) runs a successful personalised gifts business.

Jane developed a love of sewing from an early age. Ever resourceful, she learnt to make clothes, home furnishings and even wedding dresses.

Inspiration for personalising towels came in the early 1990s, when Jane wanted to celebrate friends’ newborn babies with an unusual gift.

In typical ‘Jane’ style, she cut letters from gorgeous fabrics and appliquéd the baby’s name to a fluffy towel.

Love and care went into every stitch, friends were thrilled and a business was born...

Personalised Gifts

From fantastic feedback over the years, Jane knows how much an unusual, handmade gift means...

Popular as christening and wedding gifts, or to mark special occasions, Jane often hears her towels are still in use years later. Such is the affection her personall gifts inspire...

Made from thick, pure Egyptian cotton and top quality fabrics, Jane ensures every towel is hand-stitched to meet her meticulous standards.

Recently, her product range has extended to personalised hooded baby towels and children's hooded bathrobes. And for adults, personalised dressing gowns to slip in to and chic beach towels with a clever twist!

Married with two children, Jane thrives on living life. Whether she’s creating gift ideas, writing her blog, playing tennis or working for a local charity, Jane makes every moment count.

To date, she’s been interviewed on BBC Suffolk, featured in Par Excellence Magazine, Prima Baby and Vogue - and plans to launch a new venture to inspire school children to sew.

Get In Touch

When you are looking for special gift ideas for a loved one, child or him and her, contact Jane Hamerton today. To make life easier, you can order online, or email Jane with your requirements.

I knew I wanted to start a business, (either that or buy a horse & learn to play Polo - the business won!) but it needed to be something I loved if it was going to take up all of my spare time.

After lots (& lots!) of discussions with friends and family, many lists, lots of planning and organising and yet more list writing Swings and Pretty Things was born

So here we are, Swings & Pretty Things, somewhere we hope, you can find inspiration for a special gift or that home & garden accessory that will add that personal touch to your home or outdoor living space. We hope you enjoy browsing our site as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

In our travels through developing nations, we are confronted all too often with a similar sight – single mothers, themselves lacking in education, without the resources to ensure that their children attend school consistently.

Lotus of Hope partners with existing community organizations to help them extend their current capacities to provide much needed resources for these women and children.

Our mission is to stop the self-perpetuating cycle of poverty and inequitable access to education by:

- Providing necessary resources to single mothers and their children to ensure that they have access to education – an essential human right.

- Providing necessary resources to help single mothers and their children harness their potentials to improve the safety, economic standing, and stability of their communities.

- Providing continuing support to our partner organizations to enable them to maintain lasting, consistent presences in their communities.

Lotus of Hope was founded by a group of young professional women from around the globe, joined by a common desire to use their diverse experiences and accomplishments to eradicate poverty by exposing and ending the egregious educational inequalities that exist internationally. Drawing on experience in human rights law, education, health, and finance, we have sought out local organizations that are already working hard to lift their communities out of poverty by improving the lives of mothers and children. However, the demands on these organizations is immense. It is our goal to extend their reach by providing them with essential capital, intellectual, and legal resources.

International Speaker and Voice Specialist, Nancy Daniels, has been involved in voice training since 1977. A graduate of Gettysburg College with a BA in music, she discovered the techniques for improving the sound of the speaking voice while in graduate school at American University in Washington, D.C.

Prior to her move to Canada in 1981, Daniels worked in New York City for G. Schirmer, ICM Artists and the Aspen Music Festival where she was director of public relations. Aware that her own speaking voice was a predominant factor in obtaining employment with such reputable firms, she believes that a dynamic and mature-sounding voice is a fantastic asset, increasing one’s confidence and self-esteem.

While in Canada Daniels taught Voice and Public Speaking at the University of Western Ontario’s Graduate School of Journalism, The Ivey School of Business, and St. Peter’s Seminary. In 1989 she started her own business, Communication Dynamics, for businesses and the general public. Upon returning to the States in 1997, she opened her business under the name Voice Dynamic and from 1999 to 2003 continued to teach Voice & Diction and Public Speaking at the college level.

Mission

While Dr. Keller was consulting for major global and Fortune 500 companies as an Executive Coach, she realized that the majority of executive clientele where men. What’s more, the men were excelling by using one specific coaching tool: Influence.

Dr. Keller new then and there what she needed to do.

Philosophy

Dr. Keller firmly believes that when it comes to Real POWER for Women, every woman owes it to herself to have exactly what she wants. “Second best” and “almost” are not options for this creative spark plug who loves showing clients the secrets of using their natural power of influence as a woman—not “acting more like a man”—to excel in personal and professional life.

At SheBrand, we understand that your most valuable product is YOU. Successful brands reflect the unique authenticity of their creators. How you position yourself and connect with your target audience will determine your success. We have a keen understanding of and experience with the branding skills, marketing tools, entrepreneurial business systems and success mindset necessary to get you where you want to go.

Let me share a secret with you: successful branding is making an emotional connection with your target market. Before you can attract your ideal clients, you have to be very clear about what you have to offer. It is the difference between wild, abundant success and hitting a speed bump, getting frustrated and ultimately fizzling out. It’s the difference between clients lining up to work with you and not being able to pay the bills each month. Those who put this secret to work in their business never have to worry where their next client is coming from.

Success starts with brand clarity.

We can help you:

• develop your authentic, compelling message
• identify your target market
• focus on the benefits you provide and the results your clients will achieve by working with you
• communicate more persuasively with your target audience
• select which marketing tools resonate best for you and create a system for implementation
• learn how to work with the media and get more press coverage
• develop a powerful marketing strategy that you can begin to implement immediately
• charge what you’re worth and get it
• create eye-catching, buzzworthy collateral materials
• create a rich brand experience for your clients
• Brand clarity means more clients, more money and more freedom.

People are bombarded daily with thousands of messages, both overt and subliminal. Who they choose to work with or what to buy is completely based on emotion. How do you create an emotional experience that gets through those thousands of messages? Design a powerful, authentic, buzzworthy personal brand. Brand your unique brilliance and put more of YOU into your business. You need to know who you are, what you stand for and what makes you unique. There is only one YOU.

As an entrepreneur, coach, consultant or service professional, it is imperative to generate interest in and demand for your products or services. If you’re ready to build your buzz, brand your brilliance, implement a powerful marketing strategy and experience wild success in your business, then email Elizabeth Hardig at elizabeth@shebrand.com.

Clients are waiting, are you ready?

Eaton International Consulting is guided by a Board of Advisors who meet at least four times per year.

Training programs at many organizations are ineffective because they do not achieve tangible, trackable results. The content is boring and participants are not engaged.

Quite simply, we change all that. We work with organizations to help them identify what they need. Then we design programs and implement effective evaluation that demonstrates the return on the investment you put into training.

Most importantly, we create programs that keep participants engaged. This, in turn, creates lasting change in how they do things. If it doesn’t keep people interested, we don’t do it.

How do we do this? We start with a solid foundation in adult education principles. Then, we incorporate 21st century techniques and technologies to ensure participants stay focused, engaged and challenged. Finally, we show individuals how to leverage their strengths to achieve objectives.

Working with Magic Jet Group private jet charter company will allow you to feel as if you hold the keys to an entire fleet of top-of-the-line aircraft.

There is no need to take on the burden and cost of owning an aircraft. When you work with Magic Jet Group private jet charter service, you have access to the same quality aircraft, held up to the same safety standards, but without the long-term commitment or upfront payments that go along with owning a private jet or participating in a fractional program. When you charter an aircraft, you can often drive right out on the tarmac to board instead of arriving hours before a flight to pass through baggage checkpoints and security. With access to thousands more airports than commercial aircraft, chartered planes can deliver you closer to your destination, reducing the need for additional on-ground transportation arrangements.

On-Demand Private Jet Charter at its best:

Call us any time you need to fly. No commitment, no contract. Just give us at least 3 hours notice and receive our signature White Glove service. Our world revolves around you!

How we work:

With your planned itinerary and specific requirements, we reach out to our extensive network of aircraft owners and charter operators, source the best aircraft for your trip, and negotiate on your behalf to provide you with the best prices. Along with private flight booking services, we offer premium concierge services to all clients. Allow Magic Jet Group to enhance your travel by requesting any of the following services and amenities:

Wi-Fi, in-flight phone service, a certain cut-off year of manufacture, a pet-friendly cabin and crew, medical equipment, an aircraft upon which smoking is permitted, an aircraft with Overflight Permission for International trips, a conference room set-up, a particular type of aircraft, an oven, microwave oven, power outlet, enclosed lavatory, CD player, DVD player, AirShow, headsets, video monitors, meeting and event planning, lodging and ground transportation, any type of catering you may imagine, a cabin with beds, on board manicures, massages and spa services, children’s parties and and anything else you may desire to make your trip as enjoyable as possible.

We secure the best available pricing on business jet charters. Because we have longstanding relationships with the charter aircraft owners and operators, they extend wholesale rates to us, which we then pass on to you. Magic Jet Group provides additional value by offering one-way pricing on 90 percent of flights flown. If you require more than one or two days on the ground it is often less expensive to charter an aircraft twice, rather than paying to keep the aircraft stationary in one location. Utilizing our vast network of empty legs and our close relationship with one-way operators, we can typically provide one-way pricing for each portion of an extended-stay trip.

Every flight is accompanied by a comprehensive Wyvern Safety Pass Report. This report checks the history of the aircraft; the operator's insurance coverage; and the pilot's experience in the specific class of aircraft chartered.

Once you have chosen an option and you have returned the signed paperwork, you are presented with a preliminary itinerary, which includes all of the details of the trip, such as the timing of each leg, the address and contact information of each FBO (Fixed Based Operator) which will be used, and the specific ‘Tail Number’ of the aircraft contracted on your behalf. After obtaining your catering requests, ground transportation needs and the full legal names of your passengers, we send you a final itinerary containing all details.

On the day of your trip, we make sure that the crew is in position one hour prior to the scheduled departure, and that the catering has arrived, looks perfect and is in position. We make sure that there are local newspapers and business journals on board to read, and if it is a long trip, we provide such amenities as refreshing hot towels for when you land.

We remain in close communication with the crew of the aircraft. Speaking to the Captain or Second in Command before and after each leg, we flight follow, keeping you (or your assistant) informed of each departure and landing, relaying any notable details of activity throughout the trip.

Let us work our magic for you!

With well over 25 years experience, Lisa is now dedicated to working with small business owners, many of whom have added thousands of dollars in sales after exposure to her groundbreaking Juicy Marketing Systems.

Time With Natalie - A dynamic and growing TV personality on a mission to motivate, inspire and uplift all women globally.

Natalie was born in London and despite her ordinary background, she is no ordinary woman. Being raised in a single parent household, Natalie drew on her mother’s strong sense of determination and set about carving out a career for herself and a legacy for all to follow.

Starting out in traditional employment after leaving school, Natalie spent 10 years working in the finance sector in London but soon found an outlet for her love of media, music and fashion. With a property portfolio worth £1.1 million, Natalie owns homes in the UK and overseas with the most exotic being in the Island of Cape Verde.

In 2009 Natalie decided to follow her heart and founded the Inspired Dreams (ID) brand which is the umbrella company for all her brands including; ID Media, ID Fashion, ID Education and her trademark brand ‘Time With Natalie’. Time With Natalie is a TV chat show aimed at educating, motivating and inspiring girls and women of all ages and across all countries. Over the years, Natalie has interviewed self-made millionaires and celebrities including; Robert G Allen (author), Beverley Knight (singer) and Holly Valance (actor) with her most prestigious interview to date being her one-to-one interview in 2012 with Stedman Graham (long time partner of Oprah Winfrey).

Time With Natalie is the show women need to help them maximise their time and create a life which balances work, rest and play. Under the ‘Time For …’ concept (time for work, time for family, time for holiday, time for friends etc), the show provides a visual of the best in fun, educational and uplifting interviews relating to health, fitness, empowerment, beauty, fashion, business etc. Natalie will take you on a journey to help you to regain control of your life whilst having some fun along the way!

Her passion for the media industry has continued to grow and Natalie has racked up small screen parts on BBC’s Dr Who, Casualty, Hustle, Doctors and not forgetting ITV’s popular programme, Lewis. There is no end to Natalie’s talents which extends into music where she is a regular presenter for UK Christian Music Charts aired on Sky TV.

Being an ambitious and committed individual, Natalie continues to create strong networks and forums for women to have a voice and as such she is a Board member for an online publication entitled Par Excellence Magazine a luxury magazine for executive and professional women globally. She is also the creator of events around the UK which have been featured in Marie Claire and are aimed at inspiring others.

Giving back is her motto and with this in mind Natalie regular takes part in community activities and works alongside charities to raise money including; Breast Cancer Awareness and MIND Mental Health charity. Never one to sit back and relax, Natalie’s next project is to spearhead a campaign for the charity ‘Dress for Success London’ which helps women on a low income get back to work.

Being an annual sponsor to an all-girl street dance group based in Bristol who regularly compete globally, Natalie somehow finds time to look after herself by keeping fit and trying to emulate an Olympic hopeful, UK athlete Andrew Steele, whom she also sponsors.

Her dream is to see women achieve their goals and be a positive role model. Life is not about how you started, it’s how you finish that matters!

Mariwear is the latest in lifestyle apparel

Mariwear is an innovative new line of women’s lounge/sleepwear conceived and designed for women by women. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Melanie Berger who spent years in search of something she could put on at the end of the day that allowed her to still feel good about the way she looked. Available options were either not modest enough or didn’t offer any built-in shape or support; hence requiring a bra or cover up. After many years of trying to find this type of apparel, it became her dream to create it in hopes that all women would finally have an alternative to get comfortable at the end of their day while still being modest and feeling good.

Our business model

We are building the Mariwear business with the belief that women will want to share our dream with other women.  This product is unique and we encourage you to become a part of our dream by hosting a party with friends or shape your dream further by becoming a sales consultant.

Support and shape with comfort

Our goal was to provide women the support and shape without the traditional wires and fasteners. After extensive product design and development, Mariwear makes it’s debut in 2012. Every aspect of the garment design was carefully evaluated to ensure both form and function.

It was critical to provide women the support and shape without the traditional wires and fasteners. Blending these two concepts was design challenge. The internal bra cup was created by Joyce Baran of Joyce Baran Designs, Inc. with over 30 years of experience in bra/lingerie design and manufacturing.

Luxe fabrics ensure durability and comfort.

Luxe fabrics were carefully selected based on type and feel. Only the highest quality (SiroMicroModalR) is used and certified by LenzingR – the leader in producing Modal. This certification authenticates that our fabrics are milled using the best fibers available to ensure durability and comfort. We are pleased that Lenzing recently announced that  fabrics under this brand are considered to be CO2 Neutral.

We hope you find comfort in knowing that you can still look and feel good at the end of the day before you enter your own world of dreams!

Who are KAA-Boomers?

KAA-Boomers are baby boomers (those born between 1947 and 1962) and, since entering the labour force in the late 1960s, they’ve had a huge influence on organizations. As KAA-Boomers approach retirement age, they continue to exert their influence.

Tenfold is a social media training company for recruiters and business professionals. We teach our clients to use social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) to be better at what they do every day by unleashing the awesome power of social media in their recruiting, networking, job search or hiring efforts.

Stacy Donovan Zapar, Most Connected Woman on LinkedIn, has been a “pay it forward” open networker since 2004, helping others to grow their businesses, reconnect with former coworkers, network with industry peers, share best practices, find their next position and hire great candidates. The wider the network, the wider the reach and the greater the ability to help others. And it’s gone both ways, with her network in turn helping to open many doors for her along the way… It’s been a wonderfully symbiotic relationship.

Network contacts have been reaching out for years, asking Stacy for social media training or consulting. While this wasn’t possible while working in a full-time recruiting role, the demand has reached a peak and we’re excited to finally launch Tenfold, a social media training company for recruiters and business professionals.

Until now, the social media tips, tricks and advice have been handed out piecemeal via LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, GooglePlus, blog posts, etc. Tenfold is a unique opportunity to formally share our knowledge of social media with a wide audience and in a structured environment. And we can’t wait to get started!

If you won the lottery and never had to work another day in your life, what would you do? For us, Tenfold is the answer to that question. It’s the perfect marriage of our professional strengths and interests: social media + recruiting + teaching  + helping others. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to do what we love and help others at the same time. That’s what Tenfold is all about.

Initially Way Solutions started as a small consulting practice serving corporate clients with high volume recruiting needs.

We focused on the hiring process and recruiting believing that if you want to do something great, it starts with the hire. Since companies control that process, we focused there first.

We learned that our clients needed more complete solutions so we added HR technologies and education to the mix. This gave us additional credibility and greater reach inside of an organization.

You train dogs. You educate people. Our products are action oriented and designed to be relevant to the audience with fun and engaging delivery. Our participants make better decisions and leave with tactics and strategies they can implement immediately for a better outcome.

That changed everything. Our coaching and education services blew up. Empower people with the right information, systems, and processes and big things can happen. But real change happens one person at a time. Our philosophy had always been that both sides of the employment equation need a shared vocabulary, tools, and resources.

Up to this point, we were formally serving corporate clients. We were all helping individuals with their career or job search on the side.

By adding career development and job search products and services, we bridged the gap. 

People make work happen. There isn’t a silver bullet. They need more than a script or a process. They need to think about their work differently. They need good judgment. We help people understand their work ecosystem.

Once they understand the system, they can improve their work and create greater happiness--Work happiness. It doesn’t have to be a foreign concept.

It’s time for work to evolve. It’s a movement. Our corporate clients are striving for greater results through people and our individual clients are committed to express the gift of their profession. Simple, but not easy. That’s why we work at it every day. In short:

• We inspire first and educate second.
• We serve individuals and companies to empower people to create better results.
• The way to better work.

Houston based attorney, Susan Kherkher shares a FABULOUS home based business opportunity that helps people get back to work and helps all of us save money. The benefits that come along with this business are truly life changing.

Are Home Based Business Opportunities Legal?

It’s unfortunate that because of word of mouth misinformation, legal home based business opportunities are mistaken for illegal pyramid schemes.

If you’ve read anything about me, you’ll know that I’m a practicing Attorney. I’ve done my homework and believe me, I don’t dabble in illegal pyramids. This propaganda is widely spread on and off the Internet and hurts two groups of people – those who are in the network marketing business and earning a legal and legitimate income and those who would get into the business but are afraid because of the untruths they’ve heard.

The best way to check out the truth behind a home based business opportunity is to check with the laws governing your state and to contact me with any questions you may have.

About Susan Kherkher

Susan Kherkher is a practicing attorney and network marketing leader in World Ventures. Susan resides with her husband Jim and their six children in Houston, Texas. Her passion is to teach others about becoming and thriving as entrepreneurs.

Why I chose Network Marketing:

I see Network Marketing as the great equalizer. You don’t have to have a law degree or a medical degree to be hugely successful in this industry. What you need is a work ethic and consistency. I love that.

Network Marketing gives ordinary people a chance to live the life of their dreams. I believe that we all need to have a back-up plan. We all know someone who has lost their job unexpectedly.

Residual income is the answer and 60 months of preparation is required. There is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme. Do not wait until you need money.

Start now and build a residual income stream. You must be prepared to take care of yourself and your family. Find the Network Marketing business that suits you and get to work.

About Jean E. Berry - Artist Statement

I am an Intuitive Artist and Guide who loves to help heart-centered entrepreneurs "Get Their Creative On!", align spiritually, find their passion, get in action and have fun!

So, here’s a little bit about my paintings:

When I was 10, I walked through the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and pointing at a famous painting, I told my mom, “I’m going to do that.” Of course, life sometimes has different plans, taking me into business, running a wellness and healing center and back to school for furniture design.

I began painting again as a way to get to the core of my passions and purpose in life, then discovered that painting is the way. To me, painting is an intuitive process. The process itself, of laying layers of paint, is healing, insightful and metaphoric of all of life.

Although I plan some paintings, usually when starting a painting, I lay a foundation of several analogous colors then look to see what shows up.

Bright colors are layered on to bring out the joy and fun and define the figures until it is complete. The figures represent the interconnectedness of all people—the love, joy, peace, hope and wholeness that is at the core of all, once we strip away all the fear and suffering.

My figurative images serve to capture the things that are common to all humans and are purposefully generic to encompass all races and features. I seek to create a transformational art experience that creates an energetic field that uplifts and inspires one to live their best life. These paintings are created to capture the base humanness and connectedness of how we are all truly one human race.

Viewing these images and entering their energetic field, I believe, can propel one to heal both physically and emotionally and create the clarity to live your best life.

If you would like to purchase any of my paintings/prints or use a painting as digital images for your spirit work, please send me an email.

Julie Jeske, MS, LPC - Individual and Couples Counselor

I am a licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals and couples around the themes of intimacy, relationships and sexuality.

I believe that people have the desire and capacity to heal and grow. Sometimes we need a little help or support during that process. Counseling is not a one size fits all modality. Because of that, I offer different types of counseling. I work with individuals, couples and groups.

Individual and couples counseling sessions are 50 minutes in length.

I charge $75 per counseling session.

If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact me and we can discuss your specific situation. I accept cash or checks at the time of service.

SERVICES:

Individual counseling

In this go go go society, it can be hard to slow down and take time for yourself. Individual counseling gives you an opportunity to do just that. Our sessions are tailored to what you need most. Whether it’s support, encouragement or skill building.

Relationship and Couples Counseling

Couples Counseling can help you:

• Reduce Conflict and learn about “fair fighting”
• Improve communication
• Increase intimacy between you and your partner
• Reignite that “spark” between you and your partner
• Determine if it is better to separate rather than stay together

Sex therapy

I offer a warm, safe, nonjudgmental environment to talk about sex and sexuality.

Some of the areas of sex we might discuss include:

• Desire discrepancies between you and your partner
• Increasing passion and pleasure in your relationship
• Ways to talk to your partner about sex and your sexual desires
• Spicing up your sex life
• Sexual Difficulties related to disability or illness
• Addressing shame around you sexual fantasies or preferences
• Difficulty with orgasm
• Sex for the single person – realizing your potential for pleasure

Groups and workshops

It can be very powerful to be part of a group with a shared experience. In a group setting we can learn new skills, receive support from others who have experiences similar obstacles and feel like we are not alone.

Shannon Grissom - award-winning artist, television producer/host, author and songwriter

Artist Statement

My life has been an amazing ride. My creative ride started with music, and like the J. Giels song says, “I must have got lost, somewhere down the line.” For at the age of 18, I let it all go. I chalk it up to being a wild child, and tying to make a living in the “real world”.

At 33 I started to get my life back when I discovered painting. Inspired and driven, I’d get up early each day to paint for a few hours before the start of my workday. This demanding schedule was worth the effort. By 1999, I was able to leave my day job, and began to do my art as a full-time business.

At 44 I began production of the television series, Give Your Walls Some Soul. It grew from an audience of one station to over 50 stations across the country and over 10 million households, winning numerous awards.

At 46 I published my children’s book Monkey Made of Sockies. From that book came a line of licensed merchandise, the popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers that have become a world-wide hit.

Today I’m an award-winning artist, television producer/host and author. My artwork is licensed and sold globally, and I have come full circle with the release of my first music CD, Hot Coffee Red Lipstick. My second music CD, Virtually Possible (a collaboration with songwriter Jason Shepherd) was released in the Spring of 2012. I am now working on my third CD.

I see art, music, writing, and multimedia as movements in my own unfinished symphony, and I always did like to paint big.

A child once told me that I have The Power of all Giggles! Her kind words made me smile from the inside out! It is my hope that through my creative work, I can share my smiles with you, and and encourage you to follow that which makes you smile with your whole self!

I maintain a studio in Hollister, CA and welcome visitors by appointment.

Why I am so passionate about women’s financial security - Hannah Foxley's story

My passion for providing financial advice for women and ensuring that they have their own financial security is borne out of my own personal life experience.

Having worked in the financial services industry since 1999 and attaining the highest levels of qualifications I should have ensured that I protected myself in the event of an unexpected catastrophe. I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t. I was too busy worrying about everyone else’s financial wellbeing and I didn’t concentrate on my own.

Being a young, fit and healthy woman, I thought as many of us do that I was invincible and that nothing would ever happen to me. My family has no history of any horrible diseases and so I felt fairly safe that I would be fine. I knew in the back of my mind that I should do something about protecting myself financially but thought it could wait a couple of years.

Then aged 33, disaster struck and I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The shock of finding out you have breast cancer at such a young age is unbelievable. Add to that the fear of losing the roof over your head and not being able to feed yourself or pay your bills and it takes the stress to a whole new level.

I endured just over a year of relentless treatment as well as the horror of the cancer returning before I had even finished chemotherapy and all the while I had to work, so that I didn’t lose the roof over my head.

Believe me, having to go to work when you are having chemotherapy, feel dreadful, look terrible and have colleagues who ignore you as they don’t know what to say is something akin to hell!

I do however see getting cancer as a blessing, as I now know exactly what I want to do with my life and what my role is in this world. That role is to ensure that other women don’t have to endure the stress that I did when dealing with something so awful.

So I quit my employed job and set up the Women’s Wealth Expert so that I can help you to be independently financially secure now and in the future, whatever life throws at you.

I will be donating 5% of my net profits to be shared between Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Cancer Research UK and Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. Cherry Lodge Cancer Care are a small charity local to me who provide a range of services and complimentary therapies to cancer sufferers and their families, free of charge. I was able to take advantage of some of these during my treatment and I want to support them now to say thanks.

I am a proud Ambassador for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and will be supporting them in any way that I can. You can keep track of my activities in my blog.

Terry Ananny Art - Born in 1956 in Toronto, (Ontario, Canada), Terry Ananny resides in Ottawa where she paints full time. From a young age Terry showed a keen interest in painting, and although she studied Fine Arts in high school Terry Ananny is primarily a self taught artist.

Her inspiration comes from her three children and her desire to capture their precious experiences of childhood on canvas. The happy and spontaneous world of childhood is conveyed to the viewer by the rich and vivid palette used to create a figurative simplicity and charm on canvas.

As a child, Terry Ananny experienced many trips from Ontario to Quebec. The rich splendour of the colourful Quebec villages was forever engrained and etched into her memory. Now the artist recaptures these charming landscapes and their surroundings with children at play in the great outdoors.

Each painting captures a unique magical moment of childhood connecting us to our earlier childhood experiences. The brilliance of the finished canvas emits a brightness that lights up any environment. Suddenly the area is energized and made joyful.

Terry Ananny has participated in numerous exhibitions and has collected a number of awards. Her works are held in well over 250 Canadian and International corporate collections including Global Television, Merrill Lynch, Delta Hotels, Microsoft Canada, CTV CFCN Television, Corus Entertainment, Ensource, Sun Microsystems, Scotia Bank and CJOH Global Television to name a few.

Her work is seen on UNICEF cards, Canada Save the Children cards, Children’s Wish cards, book and CD covers and has been commissioned for a Canadian coin. UNICEF and Hallmark Cards will publish two new cards by Terry Ananny this year as part their 2012 Holiday Card Collection, totalling twelve UNICEF card reproductions of the artist’s work.

Canadian Prime Ministers, Governor Generals and the Government of Canada have collected her work over the last decade. During this period, Terry’s artwork has represented Canada in the form of gifts to visiting dignitaries.

Terry Ananny’s artwork may be found in Canadian Government collections including; Industry Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, The Canadian Embassy in Brussels Belgium, the Ottawa Hospital, MD Management, Canadian Medical Association, The Quebec Liberal Party Residence, Mr. And Mrs. Jean Charest, Former Prime Minister Mr. And Mrs. Jean Chretien, Former Prime Minister Mr. And Mrs. Brian Mulroney.

Welcome to Lolita Girl Clothing where you’ll find beautiful cocktail dresses, 1950’s vintage inspired dresses, rockabilly clothing, swing dresses, vintage inspired bridal gowns, retro pin up style swimwear and much more!

Founded on the idea of timeless and classic fashion, our designs are inspired from decades past. From the pin-up girl’s of the 40’s and 50’s to the sleek silhouettes of old Hollywood glamour.

With the desire to make woman feel, once again, feminine and beautiful in what they wear. Our one-of-a-kind designs are classic and fun with a playful flair for every modern woman. Whether you’re looking for a pin up bathing suit, rockabilly dress or vintage style retro frocks, we’re sure you’ll find something you love!

Lolita Girl Clothing was founded in 1999 by husband and wife Steven Williams and Maureen Fokos. The couple currently resides in Laguna Beach where they originally started Lolita Girl in an upstairs bedroom. Before long, as the business grew to consume most of their living room and garage, they realized that they required more space. The Lolita Girl design studio and showroom is now located in Irvine, California.

The company's vintage infused designs are inspired by the fabulous pin-up girls of the 40s and 50s and the bombshell silver screen sirens of the era. The Lolita Girl line can be found in boutiques and specialty stores around the globe as well as select on-line retailers.

After several successful years of selling pin-up inspired lingerie and dresses, in 2004 Lolita Girl launched "Poolside," a playful pin-up line of women's swimwear. The glamour girls of decades past were revived with this sweet, playful pin-up collection that has been an overwhelming success.

"Since we are located in Southern California, it was a natural progression for us to move into swimwear," says company head designer and co-founder Maureen Fokos. "We're bringing back a unique look and vibe to a customer and culture that has otherwise been overlooked. Packed full of sass, the Poolside line as well as the Lolita Girl brand have made a huge splash in the industry".

In 2012, Lolita Girl released their newest collection, Simply White by Maureen Fokos. A darling and romantic bridal collection that features wedding gowns with fun finishing touches and a vintage sense of style. Each dress is Made To Order so that it can be customized for each individual bride. The classic and feminine silhouettes exude vintage elegance and style that take you back to a simpler time.

All of our garments are designed and manufactured in the USA. We focus on getting the best fit for each unique garment while paying special attention to even the smallest detail. This philosophy has allowed Lolita Girl to produce the high quality 'one of a kind' garments for which we've become known.

Each silhouette is designed and draped on a dress form which allows us to really focus on the fine details. After this, each garment is fit, measured and adjusted on a fit model prior to making the patterns. Because of this labor of love , we release only a limited number of new designs each year.

Sophia & Chloe Jewelry by Nathalie Sherman - Jewelry design in San Diego, California

Born in Marrakesh, Designer Nathalie Sherman moved to the US at the age of six. She grew up in LA, moving to San Diego in 1984, where she met her husband Ken and graduated from UCSD.

Working as a paralegal for years, it was not until the 1996 birth of her daughter, Sophia, that Nathalie began compulsively designing jewelry and learning everything she could about manufacturing what she dreamed up. The line, originally eponymous, was renamed “SOPHIA & CHLOE” in 1999, when her daughter Chloe was born, appropriately paying homage to her ultimate inspiration.

Completely self taught, the designer has turned her passion and talent for design into a thriving business. Her work has evolved from dainty, fashion oriented collections to bolder, more complex and evocative jewelry designs.

Unchanged are Nathalie’s uncompromising quality standards and the decidedly feminine aesthetic she brings to each design. Fifteen years later, it is easy spot her distinctive hand in each SOPHIA & CHLOE piece.

Nathalie is heavily influenced by her heritage and home. Byzantine, Moroccan motifs are evident in her work, as is the casual easy feel of her beloved coastal San Diego where she lives with her family.

Her most recent, symbolic collections, SIGNS OF A GOOD LIFE, LANGUAGE OF BANGLES and OH SO CHARMING all feature symbols discreetly and artfully incorporated into each design, making each one its own totem of good luck and well being. These collections have been extremely well received and have provided endless inspiration for Nathalie.

Quality of service and craftsmanship are of utmost importance to the designer who feels that jewelry, at any level, should feel special. Each design is created with great care by Nathalie, whose goal is to design the best possible version of each inspired piece. Every SOPHIA & CHLOE design is handmade, in the United States, by experienced and talented staff who are committed to creating pieces that are made with the greatest attention to detail.

SOPHIA & CHLOE designs are a favorite of celebrities, and are often featured on numerous television shows and in national print publications.

We at SOPHIA & CHLOE hope you enjoy our current collections. We look forward to adorning you!

Heidi Bjork - Artist, Author and Illustrator was born in May 1975 in Reykjavik, Iceland and has been drawing and painting from an early age. Heidi studied design from 1998-2000.

She has been selling her art in Icelandic illustration magazines and also worked in a theatre on various design work. It’s only recently that Heidi has decided to focus on her art and paint passion, love and mystery. This autumn 2012, Heidi’s first children’s book will be published in Iceland, which she has written and illustrated.

In Heidi’s own words:

“…painting and drawing is the best way for me to show my true feelings. My favorite subjects are passion, love, romance and mystery. I’m fascinated by these subjects, love has many faces, most of us can relate to these emotions in our own relationships. Many times I’ve been told that my artwork displays a raw energy. I like that. Iceland is a country full of raw energy, with hot springs and a very unique landscape.

I’m drawn to mysterious stories and characters. As a child I grew up with folk and fairy tales about ghosts, witchcraft and trolls. Some of these stories are both beautiful and haunting at the same time, I like people to experience these emotions in my work. Having grown up in Iceland with long dark winters, I found the darkness both inspiring and beautiful. I often use darkness in my work.”

Heidi’s art is featured in “International Contemporary Masters V”

Her art has been exhibited at the Barcelona Showcase, an exhibition of contemporary art and photography located in Gaudi’s architectual jewel, the “Casa Batllo” in Barcelona and she’ll be exhibiting her art at the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art in March 2012.

Heidi took part in the Human Rights Exhibition 2012 ( spazio tempo arte exhibition) held in Italy 2012, also the 2nd Twitter Art Exhibition held in Moss, Norway for charity #twitterartexhibit and exhibited her art at the Stratford Upon Avon Fringe which is a festival held 2 june – 10 june 2012. The 18th of june 2012 she exhibited her work on a big LED screen on Times Square in New York.

Tsisana Kavtaradze-Eyerman a Georgian painter now living in new York City, conjures mystical expressionistic scenes tinged with the fog of distant memories.

Her landscapes swirl and bend in faded tones of green and orange, giving themselves over to abstracted, rhythmic repetitions-an evocative trace of Kavtaradze-Eyerman's previous career in music.

These litting, sonorous spaces are peopled by figures between childhood and adulthood, characters whose ghostly faces recall the paintings of Edward Munch. Pictional space-pliable and shifting-manifests their internal states and implicit relationships.

This expressive iconography emerges from Kavtaradze-Eyerman's charged scenes of collective memory.

Recurring caged birds suggest the suffocating binding of family and cultural tradition; children being moved by parents as by puppet masters question the legacy of emotional interitance; crisscrossing gazes and uneasy poses betray unspeakable tensions in fantastic group portraits.

Kavtaradze-Eyerman's whimsical scenes invariably evoke and re-configure viewer's own childhood experiences and family history. Her visions, informed by our memories, economically conjure entire narratives of cultural origins and personal histories.

Lisa Call - creates bold geometric, abstract, contemporary textile paintings composed of her richly colored hand dyed fabric.

Lisa Call creates bold geometric contemporary textile paintings composed of her richly colored hand dyed fabric. Her work is abstract but draws elements from many places: her love of the colors and geological forms of the southwest, repetition, pattern, and an attraction to human-made structures for containment such as fences and stone walls.

Call’s award winning work has been shown in solo and group exhibits throughout the United States and Europe including Craft Forms at the Wayne Art Center, National Crafts, Fiber Art International, and Layers of Meaning at the Contemporary Crafts Museum in Portland, Oregon. Her piece, Structures #11, was selected for the cover of the Quilt National 2003 catalog. Structures #5 is included in the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum’s permanent collection Rooted in Tradition: Art Quilts of the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. Her work is included in the University Hospitals in Cleveland, Town of Parker and Broomfield’s College Hill Library public collections and private collections across the country.

A self taught artist, Call began making contemporary textile art in 1993. In 1997 Call founded The Fiber Connection, a successful online artist support. She received a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison (1987) and a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley (1985). She was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1963. Having grown up in New Mexico she returned to the southwest in 1994 and settled in the Denver, Colorado area.

Artist Statement

My abstract textile paintings are informed by many elements: my love of the colors and geological forms of the southwest, repetition, pattern, and an attraction to human-made structures for containment such as fences and stone walls. I work in series, exploring themes of interest in depth. Color is of primary importance and is combined, intuitively, in unexpected ways, employing a unique palette of cotton fabrics I hand dye.

I am drawn to textiles by the tactile nature of the medium and intrigued by the flexibility of woven fabric in contrast to its underlying rigid grid construction. I manipulate sections of preconstructed color, verses applying pigment in small brush strokes, to create a composition. Individual elements are freehand cut and placed onto a flannel-covered studio wall, where I work improvisationally, designing, constructing and refining the lines and shapes in the piece. Extensive stitching on the surface adds rich texture to the finished work.

Linnie Mclarty Jewellery - in ethically and responsibly sourced materials

Award-winning designer and artist-jeweller Linnie Mclarty came to jewellery design with a fine art background, which greatly informs her practice. She works for the most part in precious metals, but is happy to use other materials if she feels they are more sympathetic to the design, or preferable to her client.

Linnie tries to work ethically and responsibly. She is one of the first licensees of certified fair-trade, ecological gold, from which 15% of the bullion price is guaranteed to go towards ensuring a fair wage for the miners as well as funding the development of schools, healthcare, fresh water and mid-wives in the mining dependant villages. No chemicals are used in the extraction of the ore, and no child-labour is involved.

Linnie is happy to work to commission, using 100% recycled silver and gold that is officially certified as fairtrade, and by using fairtrade, fairmined gold she tries to ensure that the story behind her jewellery is equally as lovely as the jewellery itself.

We believe your people are your business so as you’d expect Adhere Training is passionate about helping them to reach their maximum skills potential, enabling them to contribute as fully as possible to the success of your organisation.

Imagine a retreat just for women… women ready to end their struggle with weight. Imagine a life free of weight worries...

Green Mountain at Fox Run is a safe and welcoming place, where, unlike typical weight loss spas, struggles with body, food, eating and self are truly understood. Where, with other like-minded women, you can discover how to transform your thinking, stop overeating, move more confidently, and begin your journey to a healthy weight.

Green Mountain began in the summer of 1972 when founder Thelma Wayler, MS RD, took over an empty dorm at Vermont's Green Mountain College. There she began telling women that diets don't work — almost four decades before the idea became accepted as it is today.

Instead, she provided women with weight loss help by letting them experience for themselves the power that eating well, moving our bodies and thinking positively offers in helping us reach fitness goals. But perhaps the most important concept that Thelma fostered was freedom of choice — how the freedom to make choices based on what we want, and then accepting the responsibility for those choices, is at the core of success in achieving goals in any area, including weight management.

Thelma also realized the importance of advice and direction based on science, not fad, with a good deal of professional insight and judgment thrown into the mix. As a result, the program has always operated under the direction of a highly professional team that includes registered dietitians, exercise physiologists, mental health professionals and physicians. Today, our staff also includes an expert in human metabolism as well as professionals in the nurturing arts, including yoga and massage therapy.

Today, Green Mountain operates out of a former ski and corporate retreat on a hill overlooking Okemo Mountain and the Okemo Valley Golf Course, Set on 26 wooded acres, the lodge is a low-key, relaxing retreat with informal classrooms, well-equipped physical activity rooms, a spacious dining room, and a comfortable living room. The feeling is one of relaxed camaraderie.

Up to 40-45 women can be accommodated in single, double and triple rooms. The emphasis here is on informal living rather than pampering, although massage and other amenities are available. In this way, Green Mountain can offer a more personalized experience that facilitates the development and planning of effective strategies for long-term success.

The core of the program has remained similar to Thelma Wayler’s original vision. The language of intuitive eating and intrinsic exercise has codified Thelma’s approach. We have layered in newer practices, such as mindfulness and meditation to help women get in touch with their bodies and what they need. Our behavioral classes address the new challenges modern women face in juggling careers, kids, and aging parents as well as the non-stop pace of life with technology. And our fitness program complements the hiking and snow shoeing Vermont offers with exercise classes you would find at home, such as Pilates, Zumba, and yoga.

About Marsha J. Hudnall - Owner & VP, Programming and Communications

Marsha has been a part of Green Mountain since 1986, where her mission has been to help participants learn to enjoy food and eating while successfully managing their weight and health. 

Marsha has served as president of the Vermont Dietetic Association, chairperson of Dietitians in Business and Communications, and member of The American Dietetic Association's (ADA) publications and marketing committees, and most recently, Consultation and Business Practice Delegate, Council on Professional Issues at the ADA. She currently sits on the board of directors for the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) and is a member of the ADA practice groups Dietitians in Functional and Integrative Medicine, Behavioral Health Nutrition; Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutritionists; and Food and Culinary Professionals.

Katerina Mertikas - Canadian and UNICEF artist of expressionistic art based in Ottawa, Canada

Katerina Mertikas is a self-taught artist who was born in Tripoli, Greece. She and her family (Patrinos) immigrated to Canada in 1960; first to Montreal and then to Ottawa. Her two daughters were originally the inspiration of her work, and now she happily depicts her grandchildren in her works with a renewed energy of watching them grow.

Katerina had her first show in Ville Saint Laurent in 1989 and has been showing ever since. Painting spontaneously, in bright, bold acrylic paint, she captures what she feels and what her memory retains. Her paintings are mainly of children having fun, playing games or participating in sporting events in a naïve style.

Katerina classifies her own work as naïve expressionism, trying to convey to the world the message of love, peace, innocence, and friendship.

Katerina explains: “I love vivid colours. I love the feeling the painting creates within me—especially when depicting children in all their joys and excitement. I try to capture the special, happy moments in our daily lives on every canvas I paint.”

Katerina’s work has been selected by UNICEF and the Canadian Lung Association for cards, stamps, and calendars to help raise funds for their charities. She has also been honoured with a “Women of Distinction” award in the arts category in 1999 and elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts (U.K.), whose patron is Prince Philip of Edinburgh.

Carmen Grenier - Photographer · Art Director · Photo Production Manager

From early on in my life, I knew I would be a photographer. As a teenager, I read every single article I could find on photography. At fourteen, I bought my first 35mm camera with my own savings. Simply put, I lived for photography and dreamed of one day working in the field.

So not surprisingly, I went on to pursue a career in photography. At first, I worked in a photo lab, retouching negatives and prints. But, what I wanted most was to work where the action happened. So I moved to Quebec City and became a medical photographer for a teaching hospital. There, I learned that precision and timing are of utmost importance.

Following that assignment, I had the privilege to work for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG). Being the photographer for the CCG was one of the most challenging and exhilarating experiences of my career. The assignments were varied and often under harsh weather conditions. I was tasked to cover the extended mandate of the Canadian Coast Guard for the Quebec Region and its vast territory. This included photo shoots on board ships, of icebreakers and helicopters.

For the last 20 years, I’ve been working as an art director and photo production manager. In this capacity, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, in fields ranging from high technology, science and rail road transportation, to high-end cuisine, food production and the wine industry. For the most part, I was engaged in large-scale projects aimed at branding and promoting Canadian products, both domestically and abroad. My clients included federal organizations, among them Industry Canada, Canada Post Corporation and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and such well-known and prestigious companies as Reader’s Digest Association, Via Rail Canada and Canadian Geographic magazine.

In 2007, I took a well-deserved vacation in Europe and fell in love with its beauty and diversity. It was then and there that I decided to get back behind the camera lens and return to my first love, taking photographs. I began creating a body of work I am proud to present through this portal. In addition to images of the discoveries I made while traveling, my gallery features photographs of food and wine which are special interests of mine. I am a certified Sommelier and love to cook. Also included are shots of nature, including gardens and varieties of plants and flowers. All of my work is captured under natural light.

While pursuing my career in management photography, I will continue to venture into new territories and share my findings through this portal.

I live and work in Ottawa, Canada and am fluently bilingual in French and English. I am willing to travel and available for assignment photography and contract work, worldwide, including art direction and photoshoot management.

History

In late 1997, Eileen LaPorte, the founder and first president of WIC, organized a small network of long-time consultants who could benefit from collaborating in consulting engagements and sharing best-practices in their own businesses. Originally called SEWN, the Self-Employed Women’s Network, WIC was born at the first official meeting in January 1998.

The purpose was two-fold. First, create an organization of high caliber professionals who were dedicated to their own consulting practices, who wanted to improve their prospects for interesting projects and the breadth of their potential offering, and to tap into a wealth of experience to improve their own business. Second, become the first destination for companies seeking seasoned professional consultants in a wide range of specialties.

Today, WIC has more than 400 members, an active community of full members and community members, satellites in the East Bay, North Bay/Marin, the Peninsula, San Francisco, and the South Bay, and a regular calendar of events that delivers best-in-class business advice on a wide spectrum of topics. WIC hosts an active email community that provide a forum where members and subscribers ask questions, get advice and find business partners.

Discover the Power of Collaboration

Established in 1998, Women in Consulting (WIC) is a collaborative community of consultants working to build strong businesses. Our members, a vibrant and diverse group, are a premier resource for businesses seeking expert consultants to deliver specific, high–quality results.

It's this singular focus that drives the passionate, peer-to-peer exchanges that happen every day among Women in Consulting® members. And it's through these exchanges that WIC delivers the greatest benefits to its membership, including:

• Access to a diverse, high-caliber network of colleagues, many of whom serve the world's leading organizations
• Immediate, on-demand access to innovative and tested solutions
• Insight into what works and what doesn't, shortening the agony of trial and error
• Continuous learning throughout every stage of the consulting lifecycle, from just getting started to managing a mature business
• Opportunities to collaborate with other professionals whose skills augment yours
• Regular opportunities to socialize with colleagues at general meetings, satellite meetings and workshops
• Enduring friendships that go beyond the professional realm
• Whole-life support, from attorney and accountant recommendations to insurance and childcare options to help finding a book, a good phone, or the right gift for a 10-year-old.

Idea Girl Media - Marketing, Internet, Social Media Marketing in Wilmington, Ohio

Keri Jaehnig of Idea Girl Media is a seasoned social media professional help with social media for small businesses, nonprofits, and political candidates.

Keri's Statement

“Communication, Communication, Communication!” - the key to success for any for any operation.

I have a degree in Business Administration, and additional training in Non-profit Development. I spent 14 years of connecting people globally in the field of cultural educational exchange. There, I became known as “the idea girl” for my enthusiasm in successfully probing new angles to promote my cause.

I have served as an Executive Board member for my local chapter of the American Red Cross, and collaborated on several non-profit committees. At a time when a regional anchor employer discontinued 8,000 jobs in my small town of Wilmington, Ohio, I raised more than $30,000 in 6 weeks for the local family YMCA. In addition, I have received awards for my abilities in sales and leadership and I am a partner of two other successful small businesses.

As a candidate for my local Board of Education in 2005, I was the first in my county to use Email Marketing for political campaigning. Technique and savvy gained over several previous years of email marketing experience led to successful results still talked about today.

My most recent training includes Social Media Examiner’s Facebook Success Summit 2011, Social Media Success Summit 2011, Blogging Success Summit 2011, HubSpot Partner Training, and I have completed the Lets Get Social training program for Social Media Managers. This has aligned me with top professionals in Social Media Marketing, and among the top 1% of Facebook Marketers.

As a social media manager and social media marketing strategist working in new media since 2009, you can count on me for a solid answer based on thorough research. If I do not know the answer, I know where to go to get it for you.

As a consultant to small businesses and non-profits, I work with them to attract new customers and new clients through social media marketing.

I am a 2008 honor graduate of Clinton County Leadership Institute and live in Wilmington, Ohio with my daughter, Taylor, and husband Rob, a City Councilman. I can be won over with non-fat lattes, international wine, travel to new places, and quick wit! :)

Idea Girl Media is the new media division of Culturally Connected, LLC.

Aly Pain - Premiere Career Coaching, Leadership and Corporate Team Coach in Vernon BC, Canada

Aly Pain moves Entrepreneurs from average to awesome with her ‘tell-it-like-it-is” style. She brings her bold, authentic and skilled coaching to her keynotes and workshops, private coaching and groups, to fearlessly move them forward.

Aly Pain has over 15 years experience in communications and as a facilitator/ trainer combined with certifications as a Life Coach (CPCC) and Organizational Team Coach (ORSCC). Along with her designation from the International Coach Federation as a Professional Certified Coach, (PCC), she has achieved a rigorous standard in the practice of coaching that she shares from the stage.

Aly began her speaking career at the age of 7. She won the honour of being the emcee at my Elementary School Christmas Pageant because she could clearly project her voice in a gymnasium of 300 people without a microphone.

“I remember vividly the ‘try-outs’ where I was up against children older than I was, as we stood at one end of a long hallway and read lines from a play while two teachers at the other end of the hall listened to see who they thought did the best job.”

Combining skill and compassion in her first job out of college with Dynamed as a Biomedical Electronics Technologist, Aly took a strong leadership role and created a "never been done" before training program for home patients to help them avoid hospital visits.

After 15 years of training and facilitating groups, Aly then delved into one-on-one work through coaching with CTI (Coaches training Institute). She went on to become certified (one of the first 70 people in the world) in Organization Teams and Relationship Coaching.
