Lee Kantor is also the host of the popular Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Show and several other Atlanta-based radio shows. Today we spoke with Paula Reik of GoldCore Business Concepts . GoldCore Business Concepts specializes in helping small to medium size businesses improve their bottom line performance through employee and management development. The goal is to help companies improve their overall performance and revenue through increased productivity, reduced turnover, improved employee and customer satisfaction, and the development of superior managers and leaders. Paula began her business career at East River Savings Bank in New York City. In her 20+ years of corporate experience since then she has worked for such major international corporations as Bendix International and Eastman Kodak.
As an International Marketing Manager for Bendix she gained manufacturing and international exposure, having worked closely with a domestic manufacturing division and with the international field sales organization. At Eastman Kodak – Business Imaging, Paula had the responsibility of working with a wide range of organizations including Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Delta Airlines, Bank of New York, Russell Sportswear, VHA of Georgia Hospitals, Primerica, and with many other large and smaller sized corporations and government agencies. Most recently Paula brought her experience and expertise to The Whole Life Health Center, a small family owned business as the Marketing Director and Office Manager. Paula’s mission is best stated by her - “My mission is to help improve business performance through employee and management development. I have chosen to work with the small to medium size business community because I know that these businesses face the same personnel challenges that large corporations deal with but don’t always have access to the same level of training remedies. Management skills are just as important for a small to medium size business owner or manager as they are to any manager within a large corporation. Personnel issues are sometimes even more critical to deal with in a smaller business because each individual has a larger impact on the overall performance of the organization.” Also, if you know of a Business Coach that we should know about, please email BevAnn Bonds at Info @ B- Support Solutions.com.

Today we spoke with Mitzi Crall, Ph.D. Mitizi has an extensive and varied background including 20 years as a marketing executive, owned her own marketing and design firm , owned an engraving business and grew it to over $100,000 annual revenue, and has set records in sales and marketing, some that have yet to be beat. Her philosophy is - "But Life is More Fun Than All That" Intrigued with the powers of the mind, the mind/body connection, and her own intuitive abilities, Mitzi’s true passion is finding the outer limits of human potentiality. She has studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming® (NLP) directly with founder Richard Bandler, and has trained in a number of diversified disciplines that are revolutionary in human performance and communication. Mitzi is also a student and practitioner of Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) with Lyn Buchanan, former trainer for the Government’s psychic spy program commonly referred to as “Star Gate.” It Ain’t all Talk and Theory As one client stated, “You’re not sitting here telling us to move out there, you are out there blazing a trail and showing us the way.” Mitzi is the author of the highly-acclaimed book 100 Smartest Marketing Ideas Ever, published by Glenbridge Publishing, as well as countless articles; has been the keynote speaker for such prestigious organizations as The American Marketing Association and American Advertising Federation; has led business training seminars throughout the country; has been interviewed on numerous radio stations; and been quoted in such renowned publications as Millionaire’s Blueprint, and Reuter’s Business, Europe. It’s Only Worth the Results You Get Flashes of intuition, bending tableware with your mind, in truth, it’s little more than unusual fun and games — that is, until we learn how to capture that power to truly transform our lives. In the arena of personal and professional development, the same worn-out motivational solutions have received face lifts, new names, been hashed, rehashed, and beat to death. The results they offer are, at best, fleeting. Face it, if it was working, we wouldn’t still be looking. The promising news is there is uncharted territory out there and it is offering unprecedented possibilities. When you are ready for real change, at the deepest levels, Mitzi offers exceptional, and exceptionally effective, solutions for companies and the people who drive them.

John’s desire to help business owners is in his blood. He has always been surrounded by entrepreneurs. His grandfather, father, brother, an uncle, an aunt and sister-in-law have all been or are small business owners. He has seen it, heard it and experienced it firsthand. Now He is experiencing it by providing the help and outside perspective his family all wished they had received.
John’s 30 years in Human Resources with a strong and varied background in labor relations, benefits, compensation, organization design, team building and performance management makes him uniquely qualified to coach business owners to realize their potential and achieve their full potential. He has also found that advising senior managers and executives is very similar to coaching business owners – goal setting, maintaining focus, getting the right people, keeping them highly motivated, keeping them informed and having strong relationships are critical to continuous improvement.
