Unleash the Power of Focus on Accelerate Your Business Growth Radio

Join me Monday, February 13th at 1pm ET on Accelerate Your Business Growth Radio show when my guest Christine Giri will be talking with us about how harnessing focus can help us realize our success.


Having a relaxed mind is the power behind the focus and creativity needed to build a thriving company.  Learn the strategies for managing your inbox, social media, your clients, your schedule, and creating the processes in your business to help you use more time more effectively.  When you eliminate wasted efforts you are less constrained by time and more open to getting things done. The results will bring your attention back to what is important to move your business forward.



Consultant and Speaker, Christine Giri founded Time Tamer Consulting with the belief that time spent effectively is not about Daytimers and Blackberries, but is about combining focus with innovative systems that reflect the needs and direction of their business.  Christine works with high-performers to increase their individual and business effectiveness.

Please Vote for My Friend Maia!


Presented by Cleveland Business Connects (CBC) magazine, the Connectors Choice Awards is an annual awards presentation that is dedicated to recognizing the best and brightest individuals and groups that represent the local corporate event-planning industry as well as the professional networking community.

The awards are presented in a variety of categories and honor individuals and organizations for their bodies of work in a calendar year. 

I’m writing to ask you for your support of my friend Maia Beatty, The Powerful Presence Trainer and Coach, who has been named a finalist in the Best Speaker / Meeting Facilitator category.

She has my highest recommendation ~ and since only public voting will determine the winners, our votes can help her win!

Just like on American Idol, the winner is determined solely by the number of votes, so your votes matter. It would be very helpful if you would pass this on toyour own family and friends and ask for their votes as well.

So please vote and ask your friends and family to vote at the website http://www.cbcmagazine.com/cca2012/vote.

Voting is open January 9 through Feb. 10, 2012. The winner will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on March 7, 2012.

Thank you for your votes and thank you for passing this on to your own networks and asking for their support.
