Wondered who else had listened to this call. I enjoyed it greatly and was wondering if anyone out there in CS world has a connection with Sharon. What I'm hoping to find are notes of what she says or a transcript of the call. Yes, I'm being a little lazy -- or trying to use my time wisely.
 
Yes! I got an email this morning with the recording and listened this afternoon. I plan to listen again and again and figure out how to adjust my show to fit it in. I already have ideas, just need it all to flow.
 
Sharon is an Awesome person & friend, I listened to it a few times already & I also know Jillian Grant who is also Awesome! As far as a trans script I don't have it. Maybe I'll ask Sharon if she has it & to see if she'll bring it to our next meeting....:D

Thanks, Ginger. I'd really appreciate seeing notes if there are any!!
 
I listened to this recording yesterday and thought it was great! Just getting ready to listen to it again and review my notes...just in case I missed anything!
 
I saw the email, but have not had a chance to listen. Maybe it would be possible to email HO for a transcript since the email came from there.

Loved seeing Sharon at conference. She is especially inspiring to me because I, like her, have been in the business for a long time.

Just wanted to keep the request for note fresh in your mind, Ginger. ;)

Perhaps I should be looking for Jillian's show notes. Anyone have a lead on those?

Thanks!

Thanks, Ginger. I appreciate your help.
 
Does anyone still have the link to the conference call with her earlier this summer? I cannot find the email (I don't remember seeing it) with the link that everyone talked about. But I loved hearing her story at conference. It was probably my biggest AHA moment!! And yes, I had tissues and was passing them out too. ;)

:D Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :love:
 
After hearing her speak at Conference (and no, my eyes were not dry either!) I listed to that call twice yesterday. Last night, I had more fun at my show than I've ever had before - because I shared my PASSION for this company! There were 5 people there, one guest took information (I am calling her tomorrow evening) and the host is considering signing. That has NEVER happened to me before! I'm so excited about my other two shows this week - let's see what happens!!!
 
I Googled Jillian Grant and found a conference call she did in February 2011. Just dial the phone number, access code and reference number to hear it.It's about 53 minutes long, so plan accordingly. I have to say I just spent my entire lunch break listening to this call and taking pages of amazing notes. Now I can see why Sharon Zelen was so inspired by Jillian. (on a side note... I didn't know there was a Director Chef Success....??)Jillian Grant Call - Pampered Chef Directors

That is Awesome!! I have been telling Sharon all about what is happening & she cannot believe it! She is such a GREAT person & SO funny as well.... :cool:

There is! Just like this forum, you can see (I think) 5 pages without logging in, after which you will have to become a member. In order to do so, there are steps you must complete to prove you are a director.
 
Thanks for the links. I will make sure I listen as it seems everyone who has is in awe..:)
 
Thank you so much for sharing the link! I've listened, re-winded, and listened again to both Jillian's February call and Sharon's. I have a show tonight and tomorrow night, and I can't wait to change my approach and see where it gets me. I stayed up late last night reviewing my notes, writing an outline, and rehearsing what I'm going to say. It appears I've really been doing it wrong all this time :) I love Jillian's quote, "What is worth 9 no's to you? Is it directorship?". Ugh, that literally pierced me in the heart, b/c I don't ask everyone, yet I say I want to be a Director. I'm going for the No's NOW!

I was practicing with my husband and my mother on their lunch breaks today and my hubby stopped me cold, "do you know what the name of his company is?". I was like, "hello, Berkshire Hathaway!" As for as my mother, she just gasped and questioned what I just said. Needless to say, they were impressed and I'm hoping my guests will also be.

I will definitely report back!
 
Does anyone have an audio of these two ladies that they could forward to me? I'm in Canada so am unable to access the training section you all have (which I must say sounds fabulous!)TIA
