Meet the “Get Booked on Oprah Expert” Susan Harrow at the 10-17 Grande Sized Publici-Tea Workshop!

Listen to Dr. Pat on Thursday at 10 a.m. to Hear “Get Booked on Oprah” Expert Susan Harrow and Me

Be sure to tune in to the Dr. Pat Show on 1150 a.m. Alternative Talk Radio tomorrow at 10 a.m. for a sassy show about the power of local and national do-it-yourself publicity.  The “Oprah” of talk radio Dr. Pat Baccili,  “Get Booked on Oprah” Expert Susan Harrow, and me will share useful tips, stories and inspiration to compel you into action to share your own powerful story with the world.

I listened to the Dr. Pat Show today, and it really shifted my mood in a good way.  She is so absolutely positive and inspiring.  That kind of energy is needed now more than ever, especially while others are claiming that the sky is falling and spending so much time worrying and wondering about things well beyond their control.  She challenges her listeners to live full out and consider what they would do in the world if they knew they could not fail.   Those are fighting words, and they are well worth listening to.  I hope you’ll tune in tomorrow.

Listen to “Chat with Women” Radio Show Today at 8 a.m. for Local and National Publicity Tips from Me and Susan Harrow

If you are near your radio this morning at the 8 o-clock hour (PST) in Seattle, tune in to the Chat with Women Radio Show.  “Get Booked on Oprah” expert Susan Harrow and I will be on the show, offering useful tips to help you earn local and national publicity on a do-it-yourself basis.

Given how the economy is giving everyone a run for the money, there has never been a better time to roll up your sleeves and learn how to get seen, heard, and celebrated for your winning ways with the media carrying your story forward with impact and efficiency.  We are promoting two events we are hosting on October 17 at the Mercer Island Community Center, located conveniently at 8236 SE 24th St., Mercer Island, WA 98040-2235.

The first event takes place from 9 - 11 a.m. and puts Susan in the spotlight, sharing essential tips to earn Oprah’s attention.  The second event takes place from 12:30 - 5 p.m. and offers equal focus on how to earn local AND national publicity.  Visit this link and scroll to the center of the page to read about the VIP event.   Learn about and register for the second event at this link.

By the way, I was able to earn some big TV time for that nationally recognized expert I blogged about the other day.  KOMO TV 4 News came out to the “Stay Healthy. Live Young” event on behalf of Highline Medical Center’s ongoing 50th anniversary celebration and did that exclusive interview I was angling for with Dr. Mehmet Oz.  This was among the top ten most popular stories on the news, according to the KOMO 4 news website. Sometimes, you just don’t get confirmation of your interviews until the 11th hour — even when dealing with someone with the extrordinary national reputation as Dr. Oz.    We got confirmation for this exclusive interview just a couple days before event day, and reporter Marlee Grinter did a fabulous job.  More to the point. Dr. Oz did a fabulous job addressing the Highline Medical Center’s event guests.  Mara Burke, director of community relations and volunteer services for Highline Medical Center, reported that he was gracious, amazing, and invited a standing ovation from the 600 women who attended the event.  I would have expected nothing less.  It was an honor to have the opportunity to contribute to building the buzz about this sold-out event in my own backyard.

Getting the Financial House in Order Can Make It Easier to Engage the Help You Need to Build the Buzz

I gave a presentation to a group of women business owners on Friday and received an “aha” moment for myself.  I started the talk by asking three questions.

1)  How many people in the room want to sell more of their products, services, or ideas?

2)  How many people in the room want lasting and influential ways to set themselves apart from their competitors?

3)  How many people in the room have all the money they need to hire the professional service providers they desire to make either or both a reality?

Everyone in the room answered “YES” to questions one and two.  Not a soul answered “YES” to question number three.  That reality really caught my attention.  I know the women in this room are not alone in their plight, and answers to ease their pain are sorely needed.  That certainly points to a fabulous market opportunity for those eager to do exactly that.

And, since cash flow is an issue for so many, it seems timely to extend an invitation to check out the Money Wise Business Women Conference coming up on October 25 at the North Seattle Community College. You can enjoy a 10% discount on the very affordable registration when you read all about the event and register by using the link provided here. Just fill in the words “Business Women” in the coupon code section of the online registration, and you’ll pay $64 instead of $79.

As for easing the pain of women business owners everywhere, I am brewing on a big idea to tell you more about very shortly.  In the meantime, the bigger issue seems to be getting the financial house in order, and the Money Wise Business Women Conference is just the place to get that mission accomplished.  I’ll be speaking at the event about how to get seen, heard, and celebrated through the power of do-it-yourself publicity.   If this topic captures your interest, I hope to see you there.

Dr. Oz is Coming to the Emerald City on October 4

You can imagine how thrilled I am to be doing the PR in anticipation of Dr. Mehmet Oz’s visit to the Emerald City.  He is was recently named by Time magazine as among the world’s most influential people.  He regularly appears on the Oprah Winfrey Show to offer practical medical advice on issues we all worry about.  Now you have the opportunity to hear him speak in our own backyard.  Visit this link to learn more about the Live Healthy  Stay Young  Women’s Wellness Event featuring Dr. Oz.  Saturday, October 4 from 7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center.  Seats are limited and advance registration is required.  Plus. you’ll receive a copy of Dr. Oz’s book, YOU: Staying Young.  If you are ready to register and benefit from a fabulous day of inspiration, information, and practical health advice, call 206-695-5544.

And, oh by the way, the dessert to be shared at the keynote luncheon during which Dr. Oz will speak will be the Extreme Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar from our very own Seattle Chocolate Company.  As you know, 100% of the net profits from the sale of these delicious, beautifully packaged bars are donated to women’s breast cancer charities.  With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up on October 1, the timing seems really right to welcome Dr. Oz to our Emerald City and enjoy dark chocolate for health reasons.

Getting so close to Oprah in such close date proximity to the Grande Sized Publici-Tea™ is just wonderful serendipity for me.  At this October 17 event,  “Get Booked on Oprah” expert Susan Harrow and I will share essential information to make it possible for you to share your own winning story in your own backyard or with Oprah.  And we’ll connect over tea and chocolate as we ponder the possibilities and inspire you into productive action.  Seats are selling quickly, so you’ll want to claim yours today.  Here is the link to make it easy for you. Here’s to inspired health, positive actions to make life better for women with breast cancer, and the opportunity to connect with you to inspire your DIY publicity success in the media venues that matter most to you.

Chat with Women Hosts to Share What They Look for from Ideal Radio Show Guests

Great news.  The hosts of the “Chat with Women” radio show will be stopping by the September 12, 2008 Publici-Tea™ taking place at the Village Bellevue to share what they look from from ideal radio show guests.  Pam Gray and Rochelle Alhadeff have useful tips to share if earning radio attention is high on your priority list.  When you pay attention to what these radio hosts have to say, you’ll be steps closer to earning the “air” you seek to spread your message far and wide.   I had the good fortune to be interviewed by Pam and Rochelle the very day the first Media-Savvy-to-Go Tips Booklets came off the press (you can listen to this July 12, 2006 interview at this link), and their show generated a flurry of interest in my products and services.  Do yourself a favor and listen to the program to get a sense of the guests that are ideal for the show and how you can go them one better.  The show airs weekdays on 1150 am during the 8 a.m. hour.
