I've been dreaming of this for a year now and thrilled to announce the first-ever Making Things Happen™ workshop :: an intensive designed to fire you up for 2010.  Spend an afternoon with me making a clear, active, successful plan for 2010.  From branding to bold moves and everything in between, I'm inviting 30 people to join me December 21st at the Watercolor Resort for an intensive like no other.  I'm fired up and intend to make sure you leave feeling the same way about your future.  I'll be asking attendees vital (ie- hard) questions and require that participants be ready to lay it all out on the table.  This workshop is not for the faint of heart, but for wedding professionals who really want to change, grow, and harness their full potential in the new year.  I'm excited to do this first intensive in my hometown and will announce future dates and locations soon.
