(OCALA, FLORIDA) -- SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 -- Barb Elgin, CEO and Founder
of Coach Sappho(tm), a life coaching firm for lesbian women, has
invited Conscious, (whose recently-penned autobiography "Getting
Unstuck: Girl to Girl You Can Be Infected Indeed" is being made into
a Showtime movie by the producers of the L Word television series) to
join Ms. Elgin along with members of Coach Sappho's 'Creating a Life
I Love' Club, for a live telephone interview and discussion on
Wednesday evening, September 28, 2005 at 8pm EST.
Barb reports that she met Conscious at GayDays 2005 in Orlando,
Florida, bought Conscious' book and couldn't put it down. "Conscious'
life story," according to Ms. Elgin, "is about surviving, against all
odds, and how getting real heals, when one is brave enough to go
there. Conscious has that courage and hers is a story everyone should
hear." Ms. Elgin will be interviewing Conscious during Coach
Sappho's 'Creating a Life I Love' Club's Wednesday evening tele-
group. She will interview Conscious for about 30 minutes and then
will open up the program for 25 minutes of questions and discussion
between participants and Conscious. Non-club members are invited to
attend as well. To attend, call Barb Elgin at 866-396-BARB.
Coach Sappho(tm), a division of BE A Success Enterprises, LLC, was
founded in 2001 by Barb Elgin. Ms. Elgin was born, raised and
received her graduate education in Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to
starting BE A Success, she worked in a variety of professional
positions in behavioral healthcare, including private practice
psychotherapy, employee assistance, care management and clinical
management. Ms. Elgin reports that Coach Sappho's email lists
include lesbian women and allies from over 40 states and 10
countries. The majority of http://www.CoachSappho.com 's services and
events are offered by telephone and on the Internet, enabling easy
access and opportunities to pursue personal, career, relationship and
business goals in a convenient, supportive and resourceful
environment. Ms. Elgin says her goal for every lesbian woman she
coaches can be summed up in the statement: "I'd like to see every
lesbian woman 'go for' the life she dreams of without letting her
own 'inner critic' and the world stop her". Ms. Elgin also coaches
organizations to become more sensitive to the 'coming out' and career
development needs of lesbian employees and managers.
