The Virginia Women’s Business Conference (#vwbc2012) had such a great line-up of speakers. This event was held on 11/16/12 and I can’t wait to attend next year. One of the most highly tweeted sessions was given by Darnyelle Jervey.
Darnyelle is an award winning author, speaker, and business strategist. She is a business builder and a motivator who empowers women by helping them define their purpose and leverage their Incredible Factor.
Key take-aways from Darnyelle Jervey:
- Release your incredible factor and change the lives of others.
- You should be marketing your business 10-12 hours a week.
- You lose an opportunity to market if you have a one sided business card.
- When a problem is top of mind, people are actively seeking solutions.
- Identify your audience of 1, who has the problem you can solve.
Awesome stuff. You can tell which ones were my favorites because I made them bold above 🙂
I really had fun creating these visual summaries. Especially drawing the wand and the incredible magic dust. Just makes me smile. Hope you enjoy.

The Virginia Women’s Business Conference was filled with powerful leaders and business owners with a vision. The conference (#VWBC2012) was on 11/16/12 this year.
It was all about moving your business and your mindset forward.
One of the featured speakers, Vernice Armour, was unforgettable. Vernice is a former Captain in the United States Marine Corps who was the first African-American female naval aviator in the Marine Corps and America’s first African American female combat pilot in the United States military.
Wow, what a huge accomplishment!
Now, she is a motivational speaker, author and coach. She shared her message on breakthrough mentality at the #VWBM2012.
Key take-aways from Vernice Armour:
- Go for Plan “A”
- 95% of businesses fail within the first 3-5 years. Not true, “they give up”
- Create a conversation in social media, not just SHOUT OUTS
- “Opportunities don’t go away. Other people just take advantage of them”
I drew these visual summaries to capture the conversation and the motivation.

October 12-13, 2012 was Power Boost Live (#PBL12) weekend!
I flew to Phoenix, AZ to be a part of this wonderful community and work with Pamela Slim’s marketing conference. Pam Slim is a writer, speaker, and business coach who had the vision for this one of a kind conference.
Weeks before the conference started, the Power Boost facebook group was jumping with activity.
It felt like everyone was ready to see their business Take-Off.
That energy, combined with my long flight, gave me the inspiration for this picture. “Prepare For Take-Off“.
The 2 day marketing conference was packed with innovative entrepreneurs and business owners. Attendees ranged from life coaches, speakers, and authors to artists and a drummer! I created visual summaries for 6 sessions which included 4 keynotes. 
We learned that you can have the BEST business in the world, but if nobody knows about it, you’re not in business.
Marketing is CRITICAL to being a successful entrepreneur.
See the visual summaries below for key-points, tips and insight.

When I heard that Pam Slim was having a twitter party to promote Power Boost Live, I was pumped.
I’ve been following Pam for a long time and she is one of my favorite business coaches and authors.
Since I am a total newbie on Twitter, I figured this was a good way to stick my toe in the water. This was also the first time I attended an event hosted by Karl Staib of Party Biz Connect. Everything went smoothly, no technical difficulties 🙂
Pam shared tons of tips mixed with her real life experiences. Take a peak at the graphic recording below. Tell me, what do you think is the hardest part of marketing? Do you have a favorite marketing tip to share?

The Prince George’s County Library hosted a great event yesterday as a part of Women’s History Month. I just love the library. If you are not taking advantage of your local library, you are missing out. Seriously. Well, enough said, let me tell you about the event.
Cheryl Wood gave a power packed presentation on “How to be a Successful Entrepreneurial Woman.” Cheryl is an author, coach, and a dynamic speaker. I used my iPad to create these sketchnotes “live”, during her presentation. Her enthusiasm and energy was contagious. The library almost had to kick us out because the room was just buzzing when she was done. Loved it.
You can click the image below to see the sketchnotes in full size.
