========================
Everyone has a “book inside of them.” But few actually publish one, let alone two or three. But what is it like when four women set a goal to publish a book together? Fun, frenetic and frightening at the same time. That’s a good way to describe the journey that Michelle Porchia (Trumbull, Connecticut), Debra Gould (New Orleans), Nancy Lewis (Atlanta) and I had in crafting our book: Real Women Real Issues: Positive Collaborations For Business Success. And Michelle and Debra join me on today’s show to discuss the value of collaborative partnerships in an ever changing and competitive world.

The book is more than a business book. It’s explores the intersection of friendship, faith and collaboration between African American women who dare to dream. From meeting each other more than 15 years ago at a National Speakers Association conference to forming our mastermind group, The Ebony Speakers in 2007, we’ve shared our joys and tragedies with each other, and now in our new book.

Listen to this interview and share it with others who dare to dream. It demonstrates how women who live in different parts of the country can support each other, outreach to the marketplace while achieving personal and professional success.

Alice Paul, the great Suffrage March organizer didn’t want them. The sight of 22 Black women from Howard University was disruptive to her cause. And Southern Whites certainly had no use for them. They were considered the inferior race, prime targets for lynching, discrimination and real violence against women.

The time: March 1913. The day before the inauguration of President Elect Woodrow Wilson, who certainly had NO use for Black People or uppity women who did not know their place.

Despite all odds and the racial tension of the era, they marched anyway. They held the banner for the organization they had just formed two months earlier. Little did they realize that their act of courage would signal an ultimate victory that gave ALL women the right to vote by 1920.

Now 100 years later the 22 gave way to over 300,000 members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Armed with that historic sense of courage, my organization marched 15,000 strong on March 3, 2013 down the very Washington Streets that the original 22 walked for the cause. I was there on March 3rd, and this show is dedicated to the 22 who made the difference.

My name is Carole Copeland Thomas. I am proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, and this is Focus On Empowerment!

The Book For Anyone Thinking About The World Of Entrepreneurship
Co-Authored By
Carole Copeland Thomas

Five years in the making, Real Women Real Issues Positive Collaborations For Business Success is a book capturing the essence of businesswomen working together for positive change. I met Debra Gould, Nancy Lewis and Michelle Porchia nearly 20 years ago at a National Speakers Association national convention. We formed Ebony Speakers in 2007 and now we've just published our first book together. (This is my third book.)

If you are in business or thinking of starting one, this book is for you.

Real Women, Real Issues: Positive Collaborations for Business Success is a unique collaboration between four dynamic women coming together from many years of varied experience and from our own Mastermind group experience. Out of that came the concept of communicating with other women on the importance of maintaining quality personal, professional and business relationships with other people who promote positive living.

From years of experience in training, human resources and corporate consulting Debra Gould, Nancy Lewis, Michelle Porchia and I have crafted a power-packed ground breaking business guide for women and men of all ages and ethnicities.

Topics in the book include:
•Work-Life Balance
•Global Diversity
•Networking
•Relationship Economics
•Starting and Running A Business
•Working Through Difficulties and •Challenges

We've "been there and done that." We know the dynamics of balancing family life with business and share our inner thoughts of how to make it all work. Each one of us has celebrated our triumphs while navigating the sting of tragedy. Our monthly conference call meetings have created an accountability that keep us going and move us closer to our goals.

This book shares our thoughts and strategies on building a business that can withstand the test of time. Every day won't generate a million dollars in sales. But we will help you generate millions of new ideas and strategies that will take you to the next level in life and in your business cycle.

========================
Popularized in the 1970s by its founders Richard Bandler and John Grinder, Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP has ridden a wave between high praise and straight out criticism during its 40 year existence. Steeped in a myriad of techniques that help each person understand their own process of thinking, NLP helped make motivational speaker Tony Robbins a multi-millionaire, while others have succeeded in advancing the concept in corporate and commercial arenas throughout the world.

Today we’ll define NLP in simple lay terms with a practitioner who understands it best. Our guest today is Tom Dotz, co-authored of a new book: NLP: The Essential Guide to Neuro-Linguistic Programming. We’ll learn about the NLP techniques for enhanced goal setting, motivation and confidence building, as well as strategies for overcoming fears and other obstacles to achieving success.

Put on your “thinking cap” and journey into the maps of your internal thoughts and realities.
This will indeed be a very interesting show.

==============

About The Book

NLP literature may seem too technical or therapy-oriented to some. But this new NLP book is different as it’s a first-person account of real people applying NLP in their everyday lives – with themselves, their relationships, and their businesses. By exploring specific situations, you learn what NLP processes enabled people like you to improve their communication skills, creativity, and confidence.

Divided into 9 situation-specific sections, this book leads you through the most important NLP life-changing practices. You will discover:

·         How your unique mind works and the strategies it has chosen that created your personal patterns and habits – and how you can change them.

·         Simple solutions that work for the issues of anxiety, procrastination, and motivation.

·         A better understanding of people from special ways of observing their behavior and the language they use.

·         New ways of relating to other people that will enable you easily build rapport, be more persuasive, and encourage collaboration.

In this book, you’ll explore perennial problems of procrastination and stress, and learn how to live more in your “Zone.” It includes easy-to-understand applications of newer and more advanced NLP techniques, They also make new uses of key NLP ideas like mental rehearsal, mind-reading, and conflict integration. Each dynamic chapter contains Discovery Activities to make sure these life-changing skills become your own. This a must-have guide to NLP for self-development and influencing others, for people who know little or nothing about NLP and NLP professionals.

NLP CAN BRING YOU…

·         Better success at work because you learn to be a more effective communicator, a more creative and productive contributor, a more influential leader, and a better team player.

·         Enhanced relationships because you become more aware of how others think and behave, more comfortable with these differences, and more versatile in how you communicate with others.

·         Greater ease in connecting with people and making decisions in varied contexts and situations because you can understand and manage your feelings instead of being driven by them.

·         Increased personal satisfaction because you recognize what motivates you, know ways to reduce inner and external conflict, are better equipped to create goals and relationships that are compelling and rewarding.
