I love your informative website. It kept me engrossed for hours. I gave a few of the ideas to my husband and have put your site on our desktop.

On Saturday Seminars: I truly enjoyed being part of your group on Saturday, it was a very useful session for me and I suspect, for all in attendance. You did such a good job of moderating it too; but the best part was your following up so quickly with the useful links that you promised to send. I am very impressed with that, it has certainly left a lasting impression on me, as to your professionalism.

My coach - what you did for me was perfect. You encouraged me on what was possible and still within reach. You would not have been a good coach if you had just helped me to brush my unease aside.

I've gotta tell you, I can't believe how relaxed things have been since I've consciously and actively separated my work time from home life two days in a row. The time management system you have come up with to schedule what you want to do and when works fabulously because you properly design it to work only for you. Three days into the "new regime" and things are still going smoothly’ !!!!!!

When we first met, for the purpose of investigating a coaching relationship, I was unsure of what I would get from a Business Coach. Right from that first meeting I began to see changes. Changes in me, my attitude, and the potential of my plans. I was surprised, no, shocked at how much clarity began unfolding in the few meetings that followed.

The dream that I had been carrying for 6 years, that of establishing a year round Dinner Theatre and Cultural Centre in Victoria went from vision to reality at light speed. I was sweep away in the momentum of the energy that surrounded the idea as it came out through our coaching sessions. Now just five months from our first session the theatre has been established, the business plan written, the cast in rehearsals, and opening night is looming eight weeks away.

I recognize that the theatre is coming from the efforts of my partner and I along with our supporters, however I also know that none of this would be happening without "my Coach". I tell everyone: "they need to find a coach like Linda, if they want to get their dreams out of the mist and into their hands".

Now as the theatre unfolds, I find that our sessions take on a much needed grounding effect. You have a wonderful way of sensing my stress and guiding me to the right view of the issues. Yea Coach!

Linda has coached me on business plan writing, interviewing, respecting yourself, self confidence and a host of other things too numerous to list. She may be the just the person you need to help you find your next gig in life - you would benefit just by meeting her.

This note is to let you know how much I enjoy reading Dean Christy's poems.  As web master for victoriabusinesstalk.com I have the opportunity to read just about everything that is posted.  I have to confess that I was not a fan of poetry.  Now each month I look forward to reading Dean's poetry. I'm hooked.  Thanks Dean for opening my eyes to something beautiful!

As the owner of a new business in Victoria, I have discovered that networking with other business people is critical, and that is one of the reasons that I have enjoyed attending Linda Conn’s free Saturday seminars for the past several months.  VictoriaBusinessTalk’s monthly sessions provide an opportunity to meet other new business owners and discuss business start-up issues with them.  

Linda Conn chairs the two hour sessions in a business-like way, tempered with her friendly sense of humour, and she ensures that every participant at the session has a chance to be heard.  Each person is encouraged to share a concern, and the group brainstorms possible solutions in a supportive way.   The atmosphere in the sessions is warm and caring and participants leave the seminar with a list of possible ideas to incorporate into their business planning.

"VictoriaBusinessTalk. com's monthly editorial and ezine are enjoyable, thought-provoking and informative. I have found myself reflecting on a topic, such as this month's "Dreams", long after I have finished reading. Linda has a delightfully natural way of presenting a holistic perspective on being self-employed...how it affects your whole life, not necessarily always just the 'bottom line'. I also appreciate Linda's honesty and willingness to appear "real" in her writings as evidenced in her latest article following up on the success of taking a vacation at home. It is refreshing to see someone encourage and inform people in business without trotting out the same old, tired clichés. Well done - I am looking forward to the next edition!"

I am writing to tell you how thrilled I am to have won your contest.  The results have been more than I could have imagined.  I started with an enjoyable evening at a theatre with a friend. Then not only did I receive more services than I expected in terms of business coaching from Linda Conn, and computer tech help from
need-pc-help-right-now.com Paulette Nurse,  I feel these two great contacts may even turn into friends!

I have witnessed a model of generosity and fun that compels me to pass it on and also fill MY business with more flow, happiness - and fun! Thank you so much.  I am very glad to have met you and look forward to sharing much with you in the future.
