Breakthrough Women's Circle

Dear Breakthrough Friend:

Greetings! I’m very excited to announce the launch of Ellia Communications’ new Breakthrough Women’s Circle!

If you’re a woman in transition looking for enlivening support, feedback, guidance, and resources to navigate through your midlife transitions and take your life and career to the next level of success, you’ve come to the right place!

This membership program is perfect for women who wish to:
bullet

Change careers

bullet Find more passion, power, and purpose in your current life/direction
bullet Navigate successfully through midlife transitions such as divorce, empty nesting, re-entering the workforce, or changing jobs
bullet Transition out of corporate into owning your own business or practice
bullet Become more financially successful doing what you love
bullet Use your creative talents more confidently
bullet Overcome the 12 “hidden” crises women face today, such as: failing to balance life and work, feeling stuck in a financial trap, not using your real talents, and feeling you’re heading in the wrong direction
bullet

Take your life and your career to the next level of success!

Your Breakthrough is Possible, But You Must Take Action

For most women, making significant career or life change can seem overwhelming at first, and confusing about where to begin. Often, the first step is the hardest.

That’s where the Breakthrough Women’s Circle comes in. Having undergone a major career reinvention myself, and in helping hundreds of women each year do the same, I’ve uncovered vitally important approaches to life and career change that truly work, and work fast.

In this inner circle, you’ll be given specific guidance and support to sort out what you really want in the next chapter of your life, and learn new information and approaches that will help you achieve it as quickly and successfully as possible.

As an inaugural member of the Breakthrough Women’s Circle, you’ll receive:
 
bullet

One Monthly, 60-minute open Special Breakthrough Topic Phone Call, either with Kathy Caprino, or a special interviewed expert on women’s transition, career and work-life success, entrepreneurial success, financial growth, and more

bullet

One Monthly 60-minute Q&A open group phone call with Kathy, providing you the opportunity to share your challenges/issues, and receive feedback from Kathy and other circle members on specific issues or challenges you are facing

bullet

A Breakthrough Women’s Circle Online forum in which to ask your questions, interact, support and learn from other members and experts

bullet

A monthly newsletter and 10-minute Video Blog with dedicated content you’ve asked for that addresses your key issues, questions and hot topics

bullet

Special Monthly Office Hours with Kathy – Nationally-recognized Career and Life Breakthrough Coach – Access to brief private phone consultations with me on particular career or life issue/challenge you’re facing that you’d like new perspective and coaching guidance on

bullet

Hot-off-the-presses, cutting edge information on Women Succeeding Abundantly - what it takes for women of all generations and ages to create abundant success in their lives, gleaned from Kathy’s original national research study Women Succeeding Abundantly

bullet

A hand-selected panel of advisors and experts with in-depth knowledge and complementary programs and expertise on topics of keen interest to women in transition

bullet

Downloads of recordings of all calls

And more benefits and partners are being developed now!

Find A Proven Roadmap and Support System

In this circle, you’ll gain access to a proven roadmap and support structure that will help you create the success and fulfillment you long for in life and work. You’ll find a special community of generous, smart, and successful women who can support you on your way.

This proven roadmap is my four-step Guide to Empowered Living, that helps you:
 
bullet

Step Back – to gain empowered perspective, and identify your specific “Breakdown Myths”

bullet

Let Go – of the thinking, patterns, and behaviors that are holding you back

bullet

Say Yes! – to accessing your compelling visions of your ideal life

bullet

Commit and Create It – develop a specific, concrete, doable action plan that takes you from where you are today to a new, exciting life and career full of passion, power, and purpose

Why Join Now?

Rather than your having to wait until a coaching seminar or program with empowered women comes to your area, I’d love to offer women the opportunity to come together anytime day or night -- virtually, digitally, and globally, and right now! Ask your questions, get straight-talk and advice from women who’ve experienced what you are facing, and have achieved great success.

The Breakthrough Women’s Circle is founded on the concept of "synergy" - we move faster, more joyfully, and more successfully when we're in supportive and enlivening partnership and company. One plus one equals far more than two!

All this for $29.99 per month!

Join the Breakthrough Women’s Circle now as one of a select group of Inaugural Members, and take the first month for just $4.99! I’ll elicit your specific feedback on what you’d most like to see, hear, and explore, in the coming months in the program.
