A Well Designed Business with LuAnn Nigara and Friends including ~ Nancy Ganzekaufer, Business Coach & Body Language Trainer
I can't say enough good things about Nancy! She spoke at a conference for IDS Portland and attendees are still raving about what she talked about. Not only did she share tools and strategies everyone could use to build their businesses, but she also presented them in a way that we can easily take action and implement what we learned. Nancy also connects with everyone on an individual level and understands that our businesses are as unique as each of us. As one designer shared with me afterward, this was the first time she left a conference without thinking she needed to change her way of doing business because it didn't match what was presented. Nancy truly wants to see everyone succeed and because of this, she teaches with a heart to encourage and build up.
