== WANTED ==
Ambitious professional women in a STEM or male-dominated environment wanted for hazardous yet rewarding one-way journey to ‘extraordinary’. Returning unchanged unlikely. Recognition and success await those who succeed. Here’s how it’s going to work.

In February, I’m going to teach, from start to finish, an intimate, virtual, online workshop on strategies specifically designed for women — called Womaneuvers™ – to transform ambitious professional women into the extraordinary leaders of tomorrow.

From figuring out WHO you really are to discovering WHAT makes you unique and how to express it confidently in a manner that separates you from the pack, to finding your distinctive professional voice, boundaries and more.

We’ll figure it all out together, in the workshop and in a weekly live group call. I’ll give you tools to help you KNOW and OWN your talents and how to promote in a powerful way that sets you apart, makes you valuable and sought after. I can guarantee that you won’t return from this training the same person that you were. Once a week for five weeks, we’ll connect via ZOOM after each week’s videos and actions.

Ask me anything! I will stay on the line as long as there are questions. Plus, I’ll share the tools and strategies I personally used to transform my career, Womaneuver through the corporate chess board and create my business.

For this kind of in-depth one-on-one interaction with me, when done for corporate seminars, would usually cost thousands to spend a single half-day with me.   But for this 8-10 hour of private training it won’t even cost a fraction of that. I’m thinking the cost will be $497. Reason for that price?

I only want to work with people who are READY to work with me. Who are serious about working on themselves, their professional growth and professional presence, aka their professional brand.  Who understand how important getting their professional brand right can be to their advancement; getting increases in compensation, and in more leadership roles. Women who understand the benefits will be WAY MORE than the $497 investment.  So my question to you is this: Are YOU ready for YOUR Mission Possible?

If the answer is OMG YES (or OMG MAYBE) …Then sign up today!

Space is limited and signup will end at the stroke of Midnight Sunday January 29th. …So if now’s the time you decide to stop trying to “fit in”…. If now’s the time you decide to stop playing small…. If now’s the time to let your light shine…Then take massive action today and join Womaneuvers…The difference between ordinary and extraordinary, success and failure, is the willingness to be MORE of who you are.

It’s the willingness to really KNOW, step into your personal power, create your authentic professional brand and OWN it. Together, let’s help you transcend and rise up into the ranks of the leaders of your industry those visionaries who inspire you on a daily basis…

What is in the Workshop?

When you join the Womaneuvers™ Workshop, you get access to four core modules of the program, which will be delivered over 4 weeks on our private membership site, 4 LIVE group coaching calls every week as well as access to a Private Facebook page. There will be a lot of information for you to grasp all of it, but don’t worry. I am here to help you.  Choose the concepts that resonate the most with you. As long as you contribute to the LIVE coaching calls, we will delve into them. We are all a work in progress and choosing one or two key tools will make the process manageable.

For being part of the Womaneuvers™ workshop experience, at the end of Your Mission Accomplished, you will have a one hour plus group “Anything Goes” call. And because my commitment is to your success, I will limit the number of attendees to this workshop.

Each Module will build upon the other to establish the foundation for creating your ultimate authentic leader brand so that you are no longer limited by second guessing and by playing small. You will have the tools to confidently and comfortably respond rather than react under pressure, speak authentically, with clarity and persuasively act with intention.

One Email Changed My Life!

“I contacted Barbara-Ann when the situation at work was becoming so unbearable, I contemplated quitting. She saw the issue and outlined key points for me to address with senior management in response to an email from my immediate manager. I followed her guidance.

That ONE email changed how I was treated and respected.

Within a two-month period, I went from having to walk on egg shells to being treated as a team player.  Shortly after my email to management, a bonus program was implemented – the criteria for achievement was not known to us. As a result of asserting myself, and due to my work ethic,

I was the only one who received the performance bonuses.

Because I asserted myself, not only did I gain management’s recognition, but I was treated more as a team leader by my peers. and many sought my advice on how to handle their own conflict. I pride myself on my work ethic and performance. The level of disrespect that I received was intolerable and was wearing me down. I was internalizing all my frustrations and Barbara-Ann helped me resolve the conflicts in a professional way without letting my emotions control the situation.

Not only did that one email change how I was treated but resulted in over $5,000 in additional income within a TWO-month period. Barbara-Ann’s clear guidance gave me the courage to take action. I am glad that I did.”  

Darlene B. Derry NH

$20,000 Salary Increase!

“Barbara-Ann has helped me take my career to higher levels, with progressive increases in responsibility and compensation. Through her coaching, I negotiated a $20,000 increase in a job offer. As to career progression, she has an innate sense on how to guide your career progression.  Barbara-Ann teaches you the “boardroom” negotiation and communication skills you need to succeed.” 

Susan K. CISSO,Pittsburgh, PA

Retro-Active 10K Annual Raise!

“I was congratulated by my Supervisor and given a $10,000 annual raise for my performance on that day and it was retro-active to my date of hire. As an added bonus, I received a company-wide recognition for going above and beyond for my duties.  I owe my new found success to Barbara-Ann for helping me to develop in both my professional and personal life.”

Laureen J. Everett, MA

Talk about really getting into your head and heart to finding what you own with ease and the flaws you need to fine tune in order to be true to yourself while having you and your brand/business be genuinely respected.
