YOU ARE AWESOME. Stop asking for the permission to be so.

On Thursday, September 23rd, Ellen Cleary will tell you how as our Speaker and third AWESOME sponsor at WESOS-Frankfort, a networking and education group for women entrepreneurs and business owners.

Ellen is a principal advisor with Advancing Global EDU, a firm that specializes in helping businesses move along the strategic marketing continuum from idea conception to feet-on-the-street sales.

Ellen’s focus is on the education vertical (PreK-Graduate school) and her clients go from mom-and-pop shops to global corporations. And in case you’re wondering, her hottest talk tracks these days are: e-learning, equity, STE(AM), AR/VR, professional development, and social-emotional issues facing today’s students. She's on board with all these things. It’s a crazy time of change in education, and of course instability means work for consultants.

On WESOS:
“WESOS has provided me with a true sisterhood, based on shared values and mutual respect,” Ellen said. “I discover more about myself and who I want to be as a person at every WESOS meeting, or 1:1, or phone call. I've made some of the best friends of my adult life through this organization that both inspires me and humbles me.”

Ellen has spent more than 25 years in BigCo doing BigCo things – product development, marketing management, sales, leadership – but made the choice to work for herself, from my home. She has blazed her own crooked path to her career and life, because it works for her! She loves the freedom to pursue her passions, so that she can raise two amazing and exhausting kiddos to be respectful and respected members of society, and friends and loved ones to share the journey with.

In late 2019, Ellen started a side business as a Beauty Guide with LimeLife by Alcone, a professional makeup and botanical skin care company. This venture quickly became her passion and the source of much joy. Good skin is foundational and quality products should enhance (rather than cover) true beauty. Ellen believes in empowering women in particular and loves that about this company culture. She believes in the power of eye liner, lip gloss, mascara, and bronzer to change her outlook on any given day. She was been a LimeLife fan for years, but this is her first foray into any kind of network marketing, and she is very much interested in learning how others have been successful.

And recently she began as an affiliate with BOXT, which combines my love of wine and entrepreneurship! Woop woop!

Ellen will be raffling be raffling off a choice of a LimeLife lippie or an eyeliner, along with a special discount code for BOXT wine if you want to try it, or pass it on to someone else who is a wine enthusiast!
