This Week's Event

Craft Talk Speaker: Pierre Dulude of Walton Capital Mangement

Classification: Land Based Investments 

Menu: Caesar Salad, Chicken Portobello and Double Chocolate Brownie Delight

 

Post Event - Summary

ProActive Business Leadership

Classification: Business Coach

 

Pauline Fleming is a Master Certified Executive Coach who works with businesses and leaders to coach their staff and customers to want to stay.  It costs 10 times more to get new business than to get repeat business from current clients.  Pauline helps business leaders to work at being their best.  Business leaders who are stressed and overworked cannot do the best for their business.  ProActive Business Leadership helps its clients to work on their happy quotient.  Happy people are more productive people who enjoy coming to work and will build on their strengths. 

 

At last week's meeting Pauline talked with members about her program "How to Grow Your People, Profits and Playtime".  Pauline explained that she works with business owners in the areas of  life, business and play, but her main focus is on how to put all three together to create balance.  Her mission is to inspire million dollar business leaders to grow their business.

 

Pauline also believes in "walking her talk" so she discussed with members how she has invested $200,000 in that last 5 years with her own coaches and experts and how the investment has helped her to grow.  Some of the results she has seen in just this past year include: 

  • bringing on board her assistant, Liane Ellis who is a technology wizard.
  • Hiring personal assistant, Brandy.
  • adding a 3rd person to her team who provides concierge services to her clients.
  • introducing 10 new products including her self-leadership process and several DVDs.

Pauline also told members about acheiving her goal of becoming a Certified Speaking Professional (which only 10% of professional speakers have) and how that acheivement gave her the distinction of being only the 3rd person in the world to have both a Master Certified Coaching designation and a Certified Speaking Professional designation.

 

ProActive Business Leadership offers different packages to help business leaders focus on different areas of themselves and their business.  Pauline outlined for members in attendance a special offer available for OXA members on upcoming workshops and then provided examples of work she has done with some of the OXA's members including Mario and Annie of Northwood Country Homes and Mike Kolberg of Royal Moving & Storage.  Both of whom have worked with Pauline and seen great results.  Aimee Dupuis also provided a great testimonial of the results she has seen after working with Pauline.
