By Lisa Williams, Personal Fashion Advisor for Busy Women Wednesday February 17, 2009 7:00PM - 9:00PM What’s in your closet? We wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time; why not wear 100% of our clothes 100% of the time? If it was possible to look well put together in current trends without spending an outrageous amount of money – would you? Personal fashion consultant, Lisa Williams believes it’s essential for our personal well-being, our responsibility to our environment AND it is possible. How many items of clothing do you need to create a well coordinated wardrobe? Considering that it’s possible to create 40 outfits with 10 key pieces, you could wear a different outfit 7 days a week for 5 weeks and 5 days before you wear the same outfit again. How many outfits can you make with your current wardrobe? Lisa’s passion for fashion began at an early age but really didn’t hit home until recently when she became a Personal Fashion Advisor. Frustrated with her own wardrobe, Lisa took the challenge of “leading by example” only to discover the task of creating a functional wardrobe was over-whelming and a lot harder than it should be. Trials and tribulations have rewarded Lisa with the tools she needed to talk on this subject and share her insight to help other women create more with less. Lisa believes creating a well-coordinated wardrobe is the answer; environmentally and personally and she is sharing the ‘why’s and how-to’ with women who are concerned about both.

The Top 3 Secrets To Selling to Women Wednesday November 18, 2009 7:00pm - 9:00pm
‘Marketing and Motivation Maven’ CEO Leader to Luminary Training Inc.
“It is a truth, universally accepted, that in times of turmoil, you are either helping or hurting. There is no neutral in times like these.”
A sadder truth, less widely accepted, is that the LACK of a few very specific business skills stops thousands of well meaning, well educated leaders from helping the world in the way they know they want to.
Over 90% of workshop, retreat and seminar leaders end up failing miserably in their attempt to build a viable live event business.
This is tragic. The time for leaders with REAL SOLUTIONS to reach the people who are really suffering is NOW!
Millenium mayhem in the form of change, challenge and adversity threaten to destroy our mental, physical, emotional and financial health at every turn.
Leaders with solutions must learn to magnetize the people that need them to them!
This means learning to sell and market so your events are PACKED with eager souls, looking for the answers only you can provide!
