A while back I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Champion skier Michelle Roark on the Chic Perspectives Show, and I wanted to share part of the interview here.

Michelle is an amazing athlete, a World Champion and Olympian skier – and as if that wasn’t enough, she is also a super savvy chic entrepreneur, the founder and president of Phi-nomenal, a perfume line that no only smells good but also has the added benefit of helping maximize performance and really bring out the best of the person wearing it.  What a Phi-nomenal vision!

Michelle talked about how she got the inspiration for her business idea from a conversation with her coach about the importance of being able to utilize all five senses when visualizing the perfect performance.

You must check out her sites at@

Phi-nomenalwww.Phi-nomenal.com
www.VoilaSSP.com

She then used her Chemical Engineering background and her mathematical knowledge of Phi to develop a unique and well-balanced product line designed to empower the human spirit.

Phi-nomenal’s Confidence Natural Perfume Oil and Custom Crystal bottle sold out within a week of being introduced at Eve Boutique in Denver.

Michelle talks about how she balances competing on the World Cup circuit while running her growing company, her recent trip to the White House and her company’s goal of being the scent of the first woman President of the United States.

Michelle has been featured in Business Week, Self Magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and Forbes.

You can learn so much from her story and I am so excited to have her interview as part of Chic Perspectives Season One.   You listen to her Chic Tip here.

I been getting exciting updates from Michelle this winter as she continues to rock it out on the ski slopes.  You may also catch her on one her many media appearances:

Feb 13 — NBC live coverage of moguls event 7:00 – 10:30 pm MST
Feb 15 — Fox News Small Business 4:30 pm PST
Feb 21 — MSNBC Small Business 7:30 am EST

This week it was my pleasure to chat with Angela Stalcup, the Atlanta Market Director for Ladies Who Launch and the Chief Curvy Officer for The Curvy Life about how women entrepreneurs are changing the world.

www.ladieswholaunch.com/atlanta www.curvylife.com

Angela talked about the latest trends she is seeing in women entrepreneurs and why the numbers of women starting new businesses continues to grow in the current economy and how women are becoming more sophisticated in their approach.

Angela gave some great examples of how the barriers to entry have gone down and how women can now compete at a global level with large companies without feeling a tremendous disadvantage.  All signs still point to this being an increasing popular path for women.  While lifestyle is usually a factor for women’t entrepreneurial career choice, more and more money has become more of the focus as women are realizing just what they are capable of achieving once they step out of the shadow of a boss and take their economic power into their own hands.

Angela talked about the new feminine power and how it differs from the traditional view of power.  This is such a hot topic in female business leader circles of late, so I would to hear your comments on how women leaders are challenging the norms and bringing forth a new approach based on collaboration instead of control and what the effects of such a perspective shift will be.

She also spoke of the rise of women in the corporate world and how leadership norms are changing, why certain practices are outdated and what it really takes to get ahead in today’s business world.

Angela and I talked about the new girls club, and how the last 10 years have seen a great shift in how women network, connect and help each other.  We discussed why women in the past have felt a need to compete with each other and why cooperation is the new norm in women business relations.

I know you’ll enjoy this insightful conversation about the next wave of feminine power in the workplace and what that means for profits, products and our planet.  Check out more about Angela, Ladies Who Launch Atlanta, and The Curvy Life @  www.ladieswholaunch.com/atlanta www.curvylife.com

CIMG3003Today on the Chic Perspectives Show I got to chat with Lorraine Chilvers, CEO of Delaney, a professional services company that provides financial expertise to businesses.

Lorraine has held some high-level executive positions with Fortune 100 companies, she talked about why she moved from that to being an entrepreneur.  She reveals why given the current economic climate, Delany’s services are uniquely suited to meet the needs of growing businesses.

I always like to ask successful businesspeople about mistakes or failures in their past.  Failure can be a powerful teaching tool and often businesspeople’s own past failures helped create the person they are today.  Lorraine shares what failures she’s observed in the past that have led her to this point in her career.

The economy is still down and people are beginning their plans for 2010.  Since Delaney Consulting provides financial advice to companies, Lorraine gave some great advice to small entrepreneurs.

She also talked about what makes a smaller company such as Delaney different from all the other consulting companies out there.  Delaney is also placing significant efforts towards education, with their “Delaney Learning”  program.  Lorraine talked about why the company is focusing on education.  Lorraine also talked about a new program Delaney is also starting for CEO’s, called Delaney Think-Tank.

A large part of Ms. Chilvers outside life is focused on supporting women.  She is on the board of Zonta, which is part of Zonta International.  She talked more about the work she does to support women.

Lorraine also shared some great advice for women who are in the early stages of their career and deciding whether to start up their own company.  And lastly don’t miss the personal side of Lorraine.  We all have our pre-conceived ideas of “accountants”  – Lorraine tells me, what a CFO really does in her time off…

Thanks Lorraine for being a great guest on the Chic Perspectives Show today.  For more on Delaney Consulting, LLC go to: http://www.delaneyllc.com

Want to make your team meeting the most exciting part of the week ?  If so check out this episode the Chic Perspectives Show.


This week I had the pleasure of talking with internationally recognized team effectiveness and innovation expert, Kimberly Douglas, President of FireFly Facilitation about igniting the innovation on teams.  Kimberly has earned numerous awards and recognition and was recently honored with two awards for innovation – the SHRM Pinnacle Award and Facilitator of the Year by the Southeast Association of Facilitators. www.fireflyfaciliation.com

I got the chance to find all about Kimberly’s critically acclaimed book, The Firefly Effect, and how the concepts in the book have been changing the way leaders and managers think about their own creativity as well as that of their people.

Innovation is the way out the recession, says Kimberly. Businesses need to dare more to be different if they are going to survive and thrive through the recession.  Kimberly talked about how everyone can find that spark of creativity within them and what a tremendous corporate asset that can be to businesses.

We talked about the new role of leadership in corporations, no longer is the charge to command and control, but rather to inspire and creative an environment when collaboration can lead to the productive leveraging of all team members unique strengths.  Kimberly talked about how to find untapped talent within an organization.

Next we got into workplace conflict – surprise – you shouldn’t be by it.  Conflict is normal, natural and can be a great impetus for sparking creativity.  Kimberly shared how to make conflict a source of “creative abrasion” and avoid the time wasters of infighting, destructive sarcasm and ego battling.

There’s so much talk about strategic planning in companies, that often the plan is so overwhelming and complex, it causes a scattered focus – which no company can afford these days.  Kimberly shared how to keep the team focused on the marketplace and business goals.

Kimberly talked about how when you tap into the innovation of your team, infinite possibilities become available that can catapult your business results to new heights.   She shares tools and techniques for holding team members accountable and keeping them engaged.

She also shared with us the secrets of the world’s leading thinking styles assessment tool – the HBDI – explained how people can use these practical tips to immediately improve their communication effectiveness.

Kimberly shared some of the projects she has been brought in on and the specific results her company has achieved for clients.  She also shares her outlook for how companies are innovating out of the recession, the opportunities smart companies are spotting and taking advantage of and the changes she says to expect in 2010.

Thanks Kimberly for illuminating your light on some very complex and challenging business issues and reminding us all to look for our own unique spark of innovation – we all have a unique light to shine.

CIMG2972Mark Allen, veteran entrepreneur, and Gary Ellis, marketing and sales professional and graphic design entrepreneur, were in the studio today to talk about LockboxData.com, and online safe deposit box for personal, confidential information and documents that can be accessed from anywhere.

Gary and Mark have been friends for years and attend the same church.  After founding the company, Mark approached Gary this year to help take LockBoxData.com from a developed concept to a marketable business.

Mark talked about how he created Secure Data Systems with Todd Cormack. Todd came up with this idea when his son’s computer crashed. Disasters like that, make you think – wouldn’t it be nice to have somewhere you could store all the important data you might need. So Todd and Mark worked on this concept for several years, developing it as different situations occurred.

Then Hurricane Katrina really showed the team the value a product like this could have in the marketplace. After all, when your hard drive is washed out to sea…you’ve lost it. Katrina victims also learned everything in safe deposit boxes were turned to mush, along with all the documents in their homes.

First Mark and Gary talked about how LockBoxData.com works – it’s really like an online safe deposit box. Mark and Todd built it so you can download, scan or even fax your important documents and data into your account. LockBoxData.com is an encrypted service monitored daily by Trust Guard a third party online security service.

When you sign up for an account you receive a personal encryption key that encrypts your data a second time. The encrypted data is stored in multiple offsite server farms to again assure information is safe and protected.

You set up and manage your account just like you would your computer files. You set and name the folders like you want them, then you download your documents, place them into your folders. For security,

LockBoxData.com will send you an email every time your account is opened.

We then talked about why people need something like this.  Everyone who works on a computer knows to always save your documents; you never know when something might happen.  It’s kind of that way with life,we just never know when something might happen.

Generally in a family, one of the parties handles the majority of the family business, “what if” something happened to that person, would the other know where to locate all the important or critical documents.

Studies have shown millions of dollars are left in bank accounts because something happens to the account owner and no knows about it.

What if you lost all your passwords, lost important personal or family documents, it just goes on and on. There will be a point for all of us, when it’s not “what if” but “when”.

For those whose grandparents or parents are still living, who knows where their important information is located in a time of stress or death.

Mark and Gary spoke about why data security has suddenly become so important for people.

People have so much stuff these days, we can’t keep up with it all. Whether you’re in college or retired, you need somewhere to keep your documents and data where you can easily access them. The world is becoming all internet, online business and transactions. We worry about viruses, hard drive crashed and look for back up resources. There are several out there, some are for documents like Lockboxdata, and others for hard-drive backup.  Once again, the “What if” creeps up…what if your apartment or home burned up, that external hard-drive won’t do you a lot of good, or the boxes in the attic. “What if’ you were on vacation or out of the country and needed a document, could you easily access it?

Mark told the story of when his family went to England, and lost their passports on the way from the airport to the hotel, and how his LockBoxData.com account allowed him to download copies of the passports to take to the embassy.  In a couple of hours they had new passports and were able to travel on to France and enjoy the rest of their trip.

Mark and Gary next explained how people can purchase a box.  They also explained the residual monthly income opportunity for people who work LockBoxData.com as a business.

Thanks Gary and Mark coming into the studio today to talk about LockBoxData.com and how it can be a valuable resource for everyone.
