Coach Joan Collins' hugely successful workshop, Attract What Is Good Into Your Life, continues to win rave reviews all over the South Shore. After a summer respite Joan will be offering the workshop again beginning September 19th in Duxbury and September 12th at Stonehill College. Many alumni from the workshop continue on as private coaching groups. Here are a few comments from participants: "This is a safe place to clear out negative emotions and relationships in order to make room for good things." "I am a better person because I took this workshop." "I've uncovered my values and my passion, and I'm on my way." "I now know what it means to be in integrity with myself." Joan also reports that she has held workshops for non-profit groups, as a fundraiser, and for friends who want to participate together. She is also available as a speaker for group functions.

Helen Marrone is pleased to announce that she was just promoted to District Manager with Arbonne International Pure Skin Care, Make-Up and Nutrition. If you haven’t already asked Helen for a package of free samples call her today. The products sell themselves!

Ann Marie Williams, of Atmosphere Consulting recently "organized" a group of clients, fellow professional organizers and friends for a build day
with South Shore Habitat for Humanity's womenBuild project in Brockton. 
The team worked along with future homeowner, Andrea Enos on various
aspects of the home.  The organizers of course made sure that the supply
trailer was re-organized for maximum efficiency!

In September of this year Gail Madjzoub of Integra Professional Coaching will be traveling to the UK to give a "Capacity Building" workshop for communities in Birmingham, England.  There is a great need in big cities for training in community building through improving communication skills, setting appropriate personal and professional boundaries and improving interpersonal relations.  Integra has been asked to do just that in England's second largest city and Gail looks forward to the challenge!

And last but not least for Heaven’s sake, Jayne Pelosi of Renaissance Interior Design was asked to speak at the Dennis Public Library in Dennisport in July. She will be discussing her journey towards writing Interior Divine as well as offering some free tips on chic and inspired interior design!

Look forward to hearing from many of you, next month, same time, same Bat-station!

Connections by Lois Wood

Ann Marie Williams of Atmosphere Consulting would like to thank Lynda Chuckran of Welch Healthcare for introducing her to the Network and introducing her to key members.  Ann Marie has done a lot of networking and belongs to other organizations but SSWBN is the best!
 
Jayne Pelosi of Renaissance Interior Design wants to thank new member Ellie Pechet of Phoenix Rising Counseling for helping her with her "strange version" of stage freight. "Once I hit the stage, I am relaxed and in the flow, but it is in the preparation of a talk where I usually really put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself to be perfect. Through the Yuen Method, Ellie was miraculously able to shift my energy so I feel nothing but confidence and calm as I prepare for my upcoming Las Vegas presentation. People must try this out; she is truly a healer."
 
Donna Mucci of the SSWBN Network office would like to thank Cathy Manning, Elizabeth Pineault and Veva Johnson for their guidance and  support of her decision to return to school in the Human Services field.  "The members of this network have always been so supportive!  Their encouragement is heart-warming and I look forward to my journey!"

Cheryl Arlanson Russo, Attorney at Law would like to thank Gretje Ferguson of Gretje Ferguson Photography and Lori Johnson of Your Best Image for creating her wonderful professional portrait.  Lori was terrific with her wardrobe selections and make-up application, and she stayed throughout the entire shoot to make suggestions.  Prior to the shoot, Lori and Gretje both talked with Cheryl to get to know her as a subject and to learn from Cheryl what image she wanted to convey through her portrait.  Cheryl reports: "Throughout the shoot I enjoyed their good humor and they made me feel like a supermodel [thanks for the ego boost!].  Gretje's photography speaks for itself--top notch service and quality!  If you are considering getting a portrait done, I highly recommend the services of Lori and Gretje--they are a dynamic duo with truly great results!"

Cheryl would also like to thank Ginny Walker of EmbroidMe.  When Ginny says "one item or a thousand" she really means it!  She helped Cheryl with a rush order on monogramming a gift for her niece.  Cheryl says: "I know my one item was very small, but Ginny and her staff treated me like I was their most important customer, and helped me with choosing just the right font and thread color to make my monogrammed gift perfect.  Ginny's customer service was tremendous, and I recommend EmbroidMe for that one special item or many!"

Veva Johnson, Professional Bookkeeping Services, Inc. wants to thank Teresa Anderson, Mayflower Cleanpro, Inc. "My rugs have been restored to looking like new I know they use environmentally friendly cleaning solutions which makes me feel good to know that I'm not harming the Earth these rugs are 10 years old have come back to life.  Their process brought back the colors that are in the rugs so I am enjoying them all over again and it makes my house 200% nicer as I "think" I just did my spring cleaning.  A very uplifting experience and I will use them again in the future.  Thank you, Teresa."
 
And, I would like to thank some folks myself!  Thanks to Susannah Brown, Attorney at Law, for hiring me to come up with her whole new company look.  Check out her new website at attorneysbrown.com, and she’s already handing out her new business cards!
 
So, keep those Connections up!   As they say in that other organization, "it works if you work it!"
