Episode #82 Amplify Your Dreams with Yasemin Inal

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am pleased to have Yasemin Inal on the show.  Yasemin is a Certified High Performance Coach, the Founder of Amplify Your Dreams, Biz Strategist and International Speaker.

For Yasemin, High Performance means becoming your best version, becoming the person you were destined to become. In the Certified High Performance Coaching world, the definition is  reaching and maintaining higher levels of clarity, energy, courage, productivity and influence – the five main pillars.  But life happens, and Yasemin emphasizes that it is not necessary to maintain high levels in the five pillars all the time, but instead do your best at your own pace, and take the steady road towards your goals.

Becoming a Certified Higher Performance Coach is a process that involves much more than an online course.  It is a comprehensive training that has taken several decades to develop and perfect.  

Yasemin’s program is a 12 week program that she delivers over a period of 6 months –  1 week of heavy coaching alternating with a check-in week.  Her clients have full access to her during the six months.  Together, they go through the main five pillars and then go into the mastery of these areas.  She also encourages them to learn to self coach, both for themselves, and for others. Since high performance is intricately tied to mindset, there is a great deal of emphasis on this as well.    

Yasemin offers coaching 1:1 and in her group coaching program The high Performing Entrepreneur Mastermind.  

Join Yasemin at her live event, Amplify Your Life, Your Business, Your Impact on April 20-21, 2017 in San Diego, California. This is the first destination in a tour, with future dates planned.  While the event is mainly for entrepreneurs and visionaries, is also for anyone who is into personal growth.  She will be the main trainer, and also has an awesome line up of speakers.  

Those who sign up before March 27th can benefit from the early bird special which is $100 off General Admission.  There are also a limited number of VIP tickets with some great benefits, which are sure to sell out quickly!

Episode #81 Publicity with Purpose with Heather DeSantis

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am pleased to have Heather DeSantis on the show. Heather does Public Relations for small and mid-size companies, in particular entrepreneurs that would like to be internationally known for their cause and mission.

Heather is currently working on a variety of different PR projects including several big media tours for clients.  As well, in honor of Random Acts of Kindness Week, she has created a media campaign contest to drive awareness for a group called In between Girls, which raises awareness for Tween Girls and will allow its founder to share her message nationally and locally in a big way during a period of two weeks.

She also is attending two of the largest media conferences in order to meet some people in the media to best serve her clients.  

Having a great passion for working with people who have a great purpose, Heather is growing a Facebook group called Publicity with Purpose.  This group will be posting free media leads.  Members of the group can comment on the lead links that they feel might be a good fit for them, and Heather and her team will give them free publicity.  

Her start in PR began when she worked at an advertising agency for three years.  There she was involved in media promotions for food brands, NFL networks and Yahoo sports.   She left in June 2015 with full intentions of becoming an entrepreneur.  She began her business in earnest in April 2016.  While there has been great ease in her first year in terms of referrals and growth, there have also been challenges too.  Specifically, in learning what works for her, controlling her spending, not doing what everyone else is doing just because and so on.  

Her model focuses on discovering her client’s key message, who is their ideal consumer, buyer and follower, and find out the most direct way to serve that person.  With the online market being over saturated, Heather brings her clients together with people who really resonate with their message and need them in person.  She also gets her clients’ calendars booked with interviews, and writes their content as well.

Heather offers a number of packages that are tailored to where her clients are starting from and where they want to go. You can reach out to Heather via her website at  www.desantispr.com on Twitter at @HeatherDeSantis, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DeSantisPR and on IG: prgirlboss.

Heather Shares her Message  

“Purpose Before Profit — If you focus on your MISSION and your WHY, your story and product will improve the lives of others. Then the profit will come!”

Episode #80 Successful Event Planning with Carolien Mertens

/1 Comment/in /by

Today I am excited to have Carolien Mertens on the show.  Carolien is a live event planner based in Brussels, who has an extensive background in conference planning and has an ever expanding network of contacts around the world.  She plans everything from large group events, right down to smaller retreats with groups of 10-12 participants.

Carolien also hosts an Introduction to the Online World event  for local entrepreneurs so she has been on both sides of event planning.

Event Planning Process

When planning an event for someone, Carolien offers a variety of services, according to the needs of her client. Her fees are based on either a per person flat rate for the management of the event, with a per person fee added on for additional services.  

When starting to plan an event, Carolien interviews her client.  Together, they go over everything from the vision they have, who the participants are, what the agenda is, and the desired outcome.  Location, and budget are major components of the planning, as well as timelines and suppliers needed to bring everything together.  

Return on Investment and Benefits

Carolien shares how entrepreneurs often have great outcomes when they host low cost events, and upsell to a more expensive product, such as 1:1 coaching sessions.  If profit from the event itself is the goal, she suggests having regular tickets that cover the cost of the event, as well as premium tickets where the profit is made.   

There are many benefits that come out of hosting live events.  For the participants, and host alike, a deeper connection is obtained from face to face contact.  Live events also provide an amazing venue for learning a new skill, without interruptions.  And for participants, connecting in person with an influencer is a huge honor, and often life-changing.     

You can connect with Carolien on her website at www.carolienmertens.com , on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/carolien.mertens.96  and on LinkedIn at https://be.linkedin.com/in/carolienmertens
