Womenpreneur : Strategies for Success with Smita Singh

Welcome! My guest today is David Nihill, the author of Do You Talk Funny? When I read his book, I absolutely could not put it down! David used to be terrified of public speaking, but he conquered his own fears and launched into the field of stand-up comedy. He now teaches others to do the same. The premise of his book is that comedians are the ultimate public speaking masters and we can learn from them. What prompted you to take up the challenge of improvisation?  It started with a friend’s spinal cord injury, and I ended up hosting a comedy show fundraiser. I feel that I was dragged kicking and screaming into the world of public speaking as a stand-up comic. I committed to a full year but then decided to keep going. What was it that stood out to you in applying comedy to public speaking or everyday conversations?  Storytelling is the key, and it’s what stand-up comics do best. They learn to tell stories about themselves that are short, effective, with key pieces of information. Most comics keep a “fun st

Welcome! My guest today is Fabienne Raphael, who is an online business coach, speaker, best-selling author, and podcaster of “Marketing to Crush Your Competitors.” She helps women cash in on their expertise and build their online businesses the right way, focusing on profitability and automation. Fabienne lives by the mantra “Connect, Build, Automate.” Let’s jump right in with Fabienne! Tell us a little about your story. My story as a woman entrepreneur is not like what I thought it would be. After obtaining my college degree in Physical Therapy, I always thought I would work a traditional job. My business and life partner introduced me to seminars, personal development, and the idea of “What if you had your own business?” My mind slowly opened to the idea of entrepreneurship. We started several businesses together before entering the world of online marketing. In your early days, where did you find your clients? Where I worked previously was where I first became a consultant. Most of my contacts at first

Welcome! Today’s guest is Kim Ades, who designed The Frame of Mind coaching program to provide executive coaching clients with a powerful infrastructure to help them achieve higher levels of success. Kim is here to help us understand emotional resilience, overcoming self-doubt, and mindset shifts. Join us! Tell us about the first job you ever had. I was the salad bar girl at a Subway shop in Montreal. How did you start coaching and doing all that you do today? I am really a serial entrepreneur; I owned a company and found that a higher degree of emotional resilience is the determinant in success. This is what led me to coaching. What does “having emotional resilience” really mean? Is it being completely relentless that is the ultimate success factor? We all know that life experiences knock us down sometimes. Those who can get back up will have a higher level of success than others. Do you think that failure is important to experience and understand your resilience? Yes, failure is important to success

My guest today is Liz O’Donnell, a wannabe mogul, busy working mom, and (sometimes) maid. She is the founder of Hello Ladies, an award-winning website for smart, busy women. It was named one of the Top 100 Websites for Women by Forbes. She has written the book, Mogul, Mom, and Maid, which looks at the choices, options, and the impact of women’s decisions on them, their families, and their careers. Let’s explore the following questions with Liz: What brought you where you are today, and what was your first job? I signed up with a temp agency, thinking I would be doing office work. They stuck me at an Adult Day Health Center, which was NOT what I expected. I was so intimidated, working with the elderly people, but I ended up LOVING it! What made you write your book? My girlfriends and I get together occasionally for “Wine and Whine” sessions. A good friend was sharing about her busy mom schedule and her husband’s involvement and irritation when the house was messy. It occurred to me that women face these ch
