A gift for you

I am just back from the round table event for Lord Davies ....me and a few people who have been sitting around tables for the past 10 years!

One of the things that is really puzzling me is this ....despite there being pressure on us from Europe re quotas and despite there being only 3.8 percent women directors in the FTSE 250 ....diversity professionals will not engage on the http://www.genderiq.tv/ project

I have been told
  • It wont work for senior women
  • It wont engage the men
  • It's not professional enough
  • We don't want to focus on gender
What do you think? Here is s a link to one of the modules. Check out the resources tab as well as the Q&A function and the chapter functionality in the power point.
Gender IQ in negotiating


Please do let me have your opinion as it will really help me to understand how useful this tool might be and what our strategy might be re raising awareness if big organisations dont want to engage.

With passion, as always

How do you keep your job?

Breaking news ….I just managed to persuade another phenomenal woman to come and speak on the 25th November at the F Word event …
She calls herself an ordinary girl from Scotland and yet she works with the Royal Family and has her own product range in Tesco’s.

More about Denise later! First, I just got this question in one of my coaching Mastermind groups:

‘At a time of financial challenge in the workplace and the looming cutbacks, does anybody have any tips on 'differentiating' themselves more positively in the workplace?’

How do you keep your job? How do you stay ahead of the game?

How do you start your own business and make six figures in the first year following redundancy?

How do you get to the point where you feel like shouting …..

‘Redundancy, Geronimo, bring it on!

I promised you that we will help you manage and control any kind of fear, inner saboteur or phobia if you join us for this amazing day

 More details here

But the truth is ….it’s better than that! You will leave with more power, charisma, high energy …

...and if you want to make sure that you keep your job, get a promotion, start or grow a business, then these are the personal qualities you need in bucket loads.

Don’t kid yourself that having ‘good skills’ is enough because it never has been and now it is even more important that you take control of the fear that might be holding you back.

And you can!

Somebody who did take control of her destiny and literally created life exactly the way she wanted it, despite some horrendous set-backs, is Denise McAdam (hairdresser to the Royal Family)

I have known Denise for many years and she is one of the most inspirational women I know and she is coming on the 25th …

…to talk about… how she dealt with her own fear to get to where she is today. Denise was recently awarded the Royal Victoria Medal.

 You can read more about Denise here

You will absolutely love hearing Denise talk about her journey. What she has to say is priceless.

An NLP skill I always press home is ‘learn from the best’ Don’t try to learn quietly or by trial and error…it will take decades!

Find somebody who has already done what you want to do and go and learn from them. (on the 25th you get 4 of them in the same room!)

So, if you have been sitting on the fence regarding making a decision. Now is the time.

Now you are getting 4 world class speakers and experts in the same room, on the same day to share all of their knowledge and wisdom with you.

You will see a live phobia cure. You will discover what it takes to run a business or hold down a successful career.

You will practise practical NLP tools for managing fear of public speaking or board-room presentations and you get to have lunch in a Michelin starred restaurant

.....with other people just like you from every stage in their career, both corporate and entrepreneurial

(and my 18 year old daughter is coming too with her friend (who is scared of spiders!)

What’s holding you back? Remember that procrastination is a form of fear (fear of making the wrong decision) Read more here

Deadline midnight tonight ...Happy Guy Fawkes

This is a quick reminder that the deadline is midnight tonight for getting your free bonuses. Let me remind you what they are

A live recording of one of my 2 day seminars (thoughts about leadership, life, success and even Botox from the UK’s most influential women)

A 10 page report on the competencies that senior level women have) based on real data collected from our leadership programmes

Here are the full details again

I have had a few questions re the day and one of the critical ones is this: Some of you need to get it signed off by your boss and ‘do we have a formal brief?’ Yes and it is called ‘Managing dynamic teams in a fear fuelled economy’ Please email tracey@eve-olution.net for your copy.

Some of you are paying for yourselves. GREAT! Here’s what we have decided to do to help you. If you pay by Pay Pal or Bank transfer from your own funds we will give you two tickets for the price of one. If you book your ticket right now you will get all the bonuses and a second ticket free which means you can split the cost with a friend or colleague – and remember you will both get a sumptuous 3 course lunch at the Hoxton Apprentice thrown in as well! If you have already attended my 2 day seminar then you can come for FREE as long as you bring one paying guest. And remember that they can enjoy the two for the price of one deal if paying for themselves. Let’s add that up …..£99 EACH for an amazing day with three world class speakers, delicious Michelin starred 3 course lunch and bonuses worth an extra £120 each. Oops I am losing money. Never mind I want to get you there! Don’t lose this opportunity book here now

Obviously I have been thinking a lot about fear this week. Did you see The Apprentice? Paloma got fired. A talented, successful, professional woman got fired. Why? Not because she did anything wrong but because in the boardroom she let FEAR take over her physiology and she turned into a defensive, aggressive victim. Shame, it doesn’t have to be that way.

My 15 year old daughter made a video for me yesterday. It has been getting a lot of comments on FB. One of them was a private message from a guy who said ‘I was dreading the end thinking that it is was going to say …died in a car crash’ He isn’t unique, we have all been brain-washed by fear based advertising, a fear based economy and a fear based press.

You can peek at that video on FB by clicking this link Facebook - Tracey Carr 

When would be the right time to reclaim the source of your happiness?

Book here now

I hope to see you there

With passion!

Fear of rejection holding back sales?

A little while ago you helped me with some research about the sorts of products and services you want and need in the future. One of the biggest surprises for me was the high percentage of people (87%) who want tips on how to manage the inner saboteur.

So I took action. No point in doing the research if you aren't going to respond right?

I took BIG action. I have organised for you ...a very special event on November 25th bringing together all of the people and information that you need to banish any kind of inner saboteur ...forever! And, I am goingt o be teaching you all my secret skills for managing physiology if you get shaky when you speak in public.

You will see somebody go from absolute terror to calm in less than an hour. Here is four minutes from Rich who went from Investment Banking to phobias and is now here to help and enter-train you ;-) Rich on life and the Universe
