Brown Bag Seminar - November 15, 2007
Joan Collins – The Laws of Attraction

Business and Life Coach Joan Collins will present the basics of the Law of Attraction. You’ll learn what is required in order to attract more business, better relationships and a more fulfilling life. You’ll also learn how to pinpoint the blocks to attraction including patterns of behavior, attitudes and self-limiting beliefs that need to be recast. Are you surrendering your personal power? Are you clinging to attachments? Are you overworked and under compensated? Come to this meeting to learn how any one of these things keep you from attracting what is good and what you can do about it. 

Joan Collins, M.Ed. is a business and life coach who regularly leads workshops on the South Shore, featuring the Law of Attraction.  Her popular class, Attract What Is Good Into Your Life, is also a perennial favorite at Stonehill College. In addition to her private coaching practice, Joan offers group coaching and is a frequent speaker and guest columnist. In more than thirty years as an entrepreneur Joan has successfully started four businesses and is still going strong. She says, “I wish I’d known more about the Law of Attraction when I started going through all the ups and downs of business life. Now I just want to help others by sharing what I’ve learned through experience and from my coaching background.”

Bring your own lunch, we’ll provide beverages, dessert and of course a great presenter.
Members - $15.00
Non-Members - $20.00

sswbn logoConnections by Lois Wood

Lois WoodAt the luncheon and breakfast events that I attend LOTS of people are getting up and telling everyone about al the connections that they’ve been making with other SSWBN members, but they’re not emailing the notices to me so I can post them here! Darn! What to do? Oh well, a couple of people did take advantage of this column to publicly thank other people for the good business connections they’ve found at SSWBN:

Terri Spillane of Tastefully Simple tastefullysimple.com/web/tspillane would like to thank Stacey Shipman of Let it Flow. “I attended a couple of her yoga classes on the beach this past summer and it was great. It was a perfect way to start my day.” She also thanks Jane Ford of Work for Wellness (www.workforwellness.com). “We had a meeting about healthy living and she spoke to me about Melaleuca, The Wellness Company. I joined and I've used a couple of their products and they're great. I tried the topical analgesic on my arm and I did feel better. I can't wait to try all my cleaning products.”

Joan Berson of Professional Bookkeeping Services wishes to thank Mary McElroy of McElroy Associates www.mcelroyassoc.net for referring Atlantic Restaurant Group as a new client.

That’s it for this month! So, how about those Red Sox?!!!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Thought for this month: If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?
