Reboot and Reframe-Breakfest Event, WBE
When: Thursday, January 9, 2014 – 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.
Where: Women’s University Club
What: In 2008, after moving to a new city, buying her first house, adopting a dog and starting her own consulting business, Maria Ross was struck with a brain aneurysm and hemorrhage at the age of 35. Doctors dubbed her recovery “miraculous” and as she healed and recovered, she re-booted her brain and kick-started Red Slice — her branding and marketing consultancy — back into high gear.
Because of her cognitive and psychological impairments, Maria found new ways to adapt her business so she could continue advising clients on how to translate captivating stories into irresistible brands. She soon saw many parallels between her personal struggle and professional success and realized the seven strategies that healed her body and soul were equally applicable to successful branding and entrepreneurship.
Today, her business is thriving and since her injury, she has published two books, been featured in national media, and produced amazing client results…all after a health crisis many people do not survive.
On January 9, come hear Maria’s captivating, funny and inspirational story of being knocked sideways out of her life by an event that taught her new meanings to the words no, patience, focus and humor. She will show us how life’s hardest lessons can fuel your efforts to build an irresistible business, career and brand.
