Happy summer to you! Have you taken time for some summer fun?  In Connecticut, we are anticipating a heat wave this week, so I look forward to cooling off at the beach some time in the next few days.
I’ve been out of touch for quite some time.  So, where have I been?

Many coaches, consultants, and sales professionals rely on group meetings and seminars to market their businesses and to deliver free and fee-based programs. Traditional meeting space in hotels and conference centers is very expensive and often cost-prohibitive, unless you are a big business or are offering a high-priced workshop.

I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day and had a chance to visit, call, or reflect on your fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other special men in your life, past and present. Even though Father’s Day has passed, it’s not too late to express your love and gratitude if you haven’t yet.

I’m all for coffee and lunch dates, especially for home-based business owners who necessarily […]

I was having lunch with a business colleague, “Rachael” the other day, and she told me how she has been asked by several clients to offer group programs.
Currently Rachael is a health coach who offers one-on-one coaching sessions, but she hasn’t yet started to cultivate and market to groups. It’s something she’s been meaning to […]
