Hi Folks,

I had the good fortune to be interviewed by Kellie Hill from The Right Nutrition Plan about my new book Feeling Good About You. If you'd like to hear the interview or learn more about the book, here is the link.

I wish you well.

Lisa Baehr's slide deck is now available from her presentation last week on "How to Attract Customers Through Social Media"!  It was a great talk and very informative!  If you missed it or want to check out the links, please contact me and I'll email it to you.  

Are you ready to achieve your ideal weight?
Are you ready to make a non-radical leap to optimum health?
Are you prepared to change your body on the inside and out?
Are you ready for some simple solution?

You own a business, but who taught you how to be an effective manager, or even what that means? And where do you find powerfully effective tools? If any of these sound familiar:

• I don’t know how to motivate or inspire my people.

• I can’t get my employees to do what I tell them to do.

• I can’t find good people to hire.

• None of my employees care the way I do.

Perhaps you need a new perspective on management and some new tools! The management workshop is not a lecture; it’s a ‘roll up your sleeves ‘laboratory’ for you to go to work on your business and get the personal help you need.
