👏🏽 yes! In my coaching and management I want people leaving feeling that they are taking something positive with them! That’s just me. We are kindred spirits.

We. Are!

And more than hurting my feelings – – because whatever the reason how I FEEL is much more important to me than how I look and I feel probably 12 :-) – – it really started me thinking about her approach and the fact I suspect it works for her!

It would not work for us :-) it is not what we do

You're literally the only human that is able to look good on a Zoom call without all the filters or excessive makeup. I'm glad you're calling out predatory marketing tactics for what they are... gross. "You're less than, only I can make you greater" messaging is shallow and a sure sign that a business owner/provider probably didn't get hugged enough as a kid. Ick.

and I’m literally laughing out loud as I remember all of this because I really thought holy shit lady we may need to refine your marketing tactics.

Because I am 55. And I did grow up during the heyday of no sunscreen and only baby oil.

And I don’t do peels or serums or anything mostly out of a sense of laziness, not fighting the patriarchy🙃

it really was humorous and yet? I can imagine many women wouldn’t find it curiosity sparking OR humorous.

I think you look amazing at 55! And I think I'm a good judge.

…if you do say so yourself? :-)

The whole thing was fascinating and, while I know it’s her business and this is what she does, I also kept thinking of that quote– – we don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.

It was such an interesting experience.

Yes, I do:-) Also, from a sales perspective, it's just a bad technique. Building up works better.
