It’s become apparent in today’s economy that this dog-eat-dog competitive model of business that our society has adopted is falling apart.  Buckminster Fuller talked about it a long time ago when he said, “We have to make this shift from a model that’s based on scarcity and independence into a model of thinking about abundance and interdependence.”  I believe this is where women can really step-up to shape and mold the business world into a new sustainable direction.

Women possess a unique quality of feminine leadership and a particularly unique role and vision that they bring to the biggest problems.  In the business world, women face a unique set of challenges.  Women tend to have a more holistic approach to solving problems.  Women are very much tapped into (and designed with) an intuitive sense.  This can be both good and bad.

Women tune into how everybody is feeling.  Is this working?  What do I have to weave together in my role?  Women are naturally geared to looking at the care of other people.  On one hand this can become a challenge because in business there are decisions to make.  As a woman, you need to be able to handle people not agreeing with your opinions.  You need to let go of the expectation to make everyone happy.  On the other hand, a woman’s ability to hold a holistic view and form relationships in the right way is going to make a big impact in how to solve some of the challenges that are faced.

Have you ever encountered the kind of person to whom you are immediately drawn like a magnet, even though that person is a complete stranger?   You have probably said to yourself, “I don’t know what they have, but I want to find out more about them.”

That person exudes personal confidence, and who wouldn’t want a piece of that?

How do you harness that energy?  Does it just come naturally for some people, or is it a learned behavior?  Well, I think it’s both.  It is definitely possible to make that internal connection that is attractive and intriguing to your prospective clients.  It is possible to get to a place where you’re no longer selling…you’re attracting new clients.

With the Six-Step Mastery Program process that I’ve created, you will have your emotional housekeeping done so you’re not being held back by any limiting beliefs or plaguing thoughts from your inner critic.

Isn’t that great? What an exciting place to be!

One of the number one reasons I choose to work with women entrepreneurs and businesswomen is because I’ve seen many women at workshops and seminars trying to find the secret to success.  They are doing home study courses and spending thousands every year trying so hard to find that missing link.

The truth is the missing link isn’t in their marketing program or in the products they offer.  What’s missing is internal alignment.  I think the know, like and trust factor is paramount for people.  People want to work with those who have integrity and authenticity.  Trust me, people intuitively want to work with those who have that spark. If you are missing that internal congruence, that spark is not going to happen for you.  It’s like trying to build a skyscraper on top of a foundation of quicksand.  It’s just not going to hold.

I created Brilliance Mastery to help create the kind of confidence that is deeply rooted from the inside.  I know this will really impact the delivery of your marketing message so that it is attractive and compelling to prospective customers.

When this new system finally clicks, you know the difference you make in the world and you don’t hesitate to share that and proclaim that.  The clarity in communication is massive! It’s no wonder that it translates easily into a huge transformation for many women.

People will feel a newer sense of confidence and say, “You know what?  I know, like and trust this person.  I really feel that their value is integrity, and I resonate with that.”

A lot of people have asked me how I came up with the name and meaning of my new program Brilliance Mastery.  I really love the meaning behind the word brilliance, and how beautiful and relevant it is to the goals of the program, so I thought I’d share my thoughts with you.

Brilliance - what a powerful word, right?  For me, I immediately think of the brilliance of a diamond.  We covet diamonds.  They are valuable, beautiful and strong, yet the journey to become a diamond is not an easy one.

A diamond starts off as a dark, misshapen lump of coal.  Only through a process of intense pressure over time does the structure of that ugly carbon shape transform into something beautiful.

I can’t help but think of the journey of a woman entrepreneur and the amazing and similar transformation that occurs.  It’s not always pretty, not always smooth sailing.  But it’s through that process that you learn to handle the pressure and make wise choices in the face of adversity.  It’s how you suddenly expand beyond who you’ve known yourself to be to face the toughest obstacles.

That’s why I love the word brilliance in terms of Brilliance Mastery.  For me, it describes that ability to master the journey from lump of coal to diamond – the wisdom to know that even the toughest challenges are actually helping to propel you to the next level of your highest expression of who you are and what you have to offer this world.
