Who you hang out with matters! More reasons to get out of your own backyard.


I feel like I jumped on the fast track since attending the eWomen Network conference in Dallas in late July. You can read my earlier blog post about my small world experience meeting Nancy Juetten because of her signature jacket. Since then I’ve been been jolted out of my comfort zone on many an occassion but none with more joy than the “Gathering of Great Gals” at Nancy’s home in Bellevue, Washington a few weeks ago.

Kathie Nelson, Kristen Schuerlein, Betsy Talbot, Susan Harrow
What a privilege to be invited to make the 4 hour journey from Portland to Bellevue to hang out with Nancy and some of her favorite people. This gathering of million dollar women (and those of us on their way) connected quickly coming from a shared focus to serve our clients through packaging our passion. Let me share some powerful moments….
Betsy Talbot, Business Coach to Women Entrepreneurs, inspired me when she shared her excitement about her latest project. Newly married, she is writing a book, “Married with Luggage”, about she and her husband travels as they explore the world. More about this project on her blog.
Wow’d by Kristen Schuerlein, savvy business woman and founder of Affirmagy, we raised our glasses to toast her upcoming co-host appearance on QVC Shopping network.
Jean Thompson, Seattle Chocolates, who recently appeared in O Magazine as one of Oprah’s “favorite things” how she uses her Extreme Dark Chocolate and the Survivor Chick chocolate bar to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

Susan Harrow, Jean Thompson, Nancy Juetten

Working with Power (it’s easier) founder, Michele Lisenbury Christensen, took a break from her new baby to hang out with us. Gals, visit her website to be inspired to new heights! I know I was. I can’t wait to get better acquainted.
Phyllis Heppenstall, owner of the very successful Lover’s Package retail chain, regaled us with stories of her early days of building her business in a highly dominated male arena.
Meeting Nancy’s guest of honor, Susan Harrow, media coach and author of “How to Get Booked on Oprah” was indeed a special treat. Not only full of fun, Susan is generous and brings a practical wisdom to everything she does.
This was just one event that is serving me to catapult me into the next phase of growth.
Susan Harrow, Phyllis Heppenstall, Nancy Juetten

What about you? What is your next big thing? Could a “Great Gals Gathering” be in your future? Better yet, get out of your comfort zone and connect with someone who inspires you…and intimidates you as well! Great things can happen from small steps.
