Last weekend VGS had the pleasure to work with ladies attending a
"Women's Forward" (as opposed to a Retreat) with
Half Full at the
Historic Publick House Inn in
Sturbridge MA.
Half Full is a wonderful company that helps
businesses and individuals overcome obstacles to move forward professionally
and personally.
Without Half Full there would be no Vintage Girl Studios.
I
met
Half Full's Rebecca Twitchell in early 2010. My husband had
done some work with
her and suggested that the two of us meet. At the time I was a
crossroads professionally (though I didn't yet realize it) and was
trying to find that elusive balance between my professional and my
personal life. I
loved what I was doing, but was having conflict with my co-workers to
the point that It was starting to effecting me
physically and emotionally.
I remember our meeting so well as she listened intently to
my story. Then she asked me the question I needed to hear.
"Why can't you go on your own? What is holding you back? If you are so passionate, why stop?"
I had week of soul searching. Questioning whether if I changed this
or that maybe I could keep on working things out with everyone.
Then
in a moment of clarity, I could hear Rebecca's questions and I knew
that I had the answers. YES. I can do this. I will start over. I will
get organized. Then my strategic plan fell in to place.
With the love and support of my wonderful husband Christian, I moved on and Vintage Girl Studios was born.
Rebecca
is still a wonderful cheerleader as my business has grown. Last weekend
was the first time we worked together professionally and I know the
women who attended this Forward went away energized and excited.
Thank you
