Through Company of Women, we wish to weave wisdom, warmth and wellness into your everyday life. We want to inspire you to achieve your full potential and to realize your dreams.

Our dream is that Company of Women will act as a catalyst to bring people and businesses together and that together we can make a difference in the lives of others.

LETTING GO

After 23 years in our current home, we are moving. Now I am a bit of a pack rat. I have kept a copy of every report I have ever written since 1981, along with files on every board or committee I ever served on… all of which goes to say, we were knee-deep in paper. And then there’s my collection of books – on every subject known to man.

My daughter ordered a dumpster for me. Subtle eh. Suggesting that perhaps given the move is looming up, I might like to start sorting through my collection of files, reports and memorabilia.

Come to one networking dinner and see how fast you get support and connections for your business!

A membership at Company of Women isn’t simply a chance to network. It’s connecting to the best people, the best ideas and the best benefits.

Are You A Commodity?
by Tessa Stowe

Do you find yourself competing on price? Do you often talk to a
prospect,think you have made the sale and then they decide to
shop around and buy based on price?If this sounds familiar, then potential clients probably perceive you as a commodity. They think the service you're offering is much the same as the service offered by LOTS of other people.

So it makes sense for them to shop around and buy the cheapest.
Wouldn't you?

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Don Miguel Ruiz

Rooted in traditional Toltec beliefs, these four agreements are essential steps on the path to personal freedom: Be impeccable with your word; Say only what you mean; The word is the most powerful tool humans have; Don't take anything personally; Self-importance leads people to think they are the center of the universe, causing pain and injustice; Don't make assumptions. To avoid frustration and blame, ask what is meant; Always do your best. This is the surest way to avoid self- condemnation, though it is important to realize one's best is always changing
