Thank You For Your Interest,
Women On Fire Day is
SOLD OUT
...
Imagine how your life would be…
if only you could get the inspiration, strategies and
support to bring out the passion within you and
fully live the life of your dreams?
Dear wonderful woman:
In all my years coaching women, I have never met a woman who didn’t – somewhere in her deepest depths -- have the spark of a great idea or a longing for herself that she wanted to share with her family, her community, the world.
That’s why several years ago I started to introduce and connect the fabulous women I knew and worked with so they could meet each other and learn how “isolation is the dream-killer.”
In these gatherings they could find and share what they were “on fire” about and receive the support and inspiration they needed to go after their dreams.
We call ourselves Women on Fire®.
We celebrate and support each other’s lives and dreams.
We get together at teas, events, or in coaching groups…AND, this year, we are kicking off a national tour of Women on Fire Days with the first stop in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
And, you are invited!
I’d love to meet you and hope you’ll consider joining us in Columbus on September 30 to learn how you, too, can live the life of your dreams!
Please watch this short video from last year’s phenomenal retreat in Chicago to learn more about Women on Fire:
Join me for a powerful, interactive workshop that will help you
Ignite Your True Desires and Take Powerful Steps to
Live the Life of Your Dreams!
I invite you to spend an extraordinary day surrounded by the uplifting energy of other great women like you, along with stand-up comic and executive producer of Rosie O’Donnell’s radio show Janette Barber.
This is your exclusive invitation to transform your life by attending the 2011 Women on Fire Day at the beautiful Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Friday, September 30, 2011.
At this powerful and special one-day event, we will celebrate your life and successes and launch you into the rest of 2011 toward your dreams, desires and wishes!
If you haven’t been able to personally experience a Women on Fire event, here’s how to know if this retreat is right for you:
You are excited about your life and want practical strategies and support to take it to the next level.
You are successful, but you want and need to be recharged and reinvigorated.
You're going through one (or more!) of life’s many transitions and need support, strategies and inspiration to move forward.
You are worn out and worn down, and you need a break to reset, reorient and reinvigorate your life toward what you want the most.
You have long-held dreams and desires that you just can't seem to make happen fully -- yet!
You are dazed, disappointed and wondering what happened to all the exciting dreams you used to have. Let’s dust them off so you can start moving toward them again.
You are tired of the same old stuff and want to try something new and enlivening.
On paper, you appear to have it all, but things still just don’t feel right. There is emptiness where your joy should be.
You understand the value and benefit of spending a day with other talented, inspiring women and you want the opportunity to share and celebrate your life and theirs.
If even one of these statements describes what you’re feeling and captures what you want for your life right now, that’s a good sign that this event is for you!
"Debbie Phillips has the amazing ability to bring together women of passion who can inspire each other. She is a Woman on Fire!" --Ellen Pearlman, former magazine editor, New York City
I know many of you may worry about taking time away from your family and even spending money on yourself – despite how reasonably priced this event is – for such a special day that is designed solely for your joy and learning.
Our lives are so busy!
We are usually taking care of every thing and everyone else – leaving our greatest dreams and desires to discover or on the back-burner.
I’ll let working mother Julie Moorehead tell you about her experience:
"I consider "Women on Fire" to be the ultimate networking forum where you make true, heartfelt connections. Everyone authentically cares about what you're "on fire" about, and everyone seeks to really help each other in their endeavors. This goes beyond handing out business cards, this is a place where you make real friends. I applaud Debbie Phillips for being the driving force behind "Women on Fire" and its greatest role model." --Sophfronia Scott
In just one day, you can have an experience that is designed to carry you through the year – or even beyond!
"I was not in a peaceful or centered place in my life and was hesitant about going to the retreat. Knowing Debbie Phillips, I should have known that magic would happen! I shared, listened, laughed, and cried with so many women. I was inspired!!" --Beth Rose
So… now that you have a sense of the transformation that is possible for you at this Women on Fire event, here’s a closer look at all that you’ll receive as a participant and member of this life-affirming and transforming gathering.
A sampling of what you can expect during our full-day retreat:
Inspiration, strategies and support from a pioneering Life and Executive Coach (me!), Debbie Phillips.
I no longer take on one-on-one coaching clients. Instead, I devote myself to providing Women on Fire with powerful and transformative events like Women on Fire Day. I love the opportunity to share my years of coaching, strategies and support with you, in person, for an entire day. Because, I know you are busy, dedicated to your commitments, and torn in many directions, we have tailored this event to be packed with powerful content, at a very reasonable price, all in ONE DAY.
Six-time Emmy Award winner, author, and stand-up comic Janette Barber will be our keynote speaker.
Janette is currently the executive producer for Rosie O’Donnell’s SIRIUS XM show Rosie Radio. A popular guest speaker and successful author herself, Janette is an original member of Women on Fire, having attended the very first Women on Fire Tea in New York in 2004. She will have you laughing yourself silly as you learn valuable strategies and insights to take home with you.
You’ll hear her story of triumph over tragedy and learn her secrets and strategies to becoming the success she is today. We never know just what Janette is going to say, but I guarantee you will remember it for the rest of your life!
You’ll have time to connect with other women and gain new ideas, support and encouragement so you can make the leap forward into the life you know is inside you.
You will have interactive experiences to celebrate where you've been and next steps toward what you really want in your life. (Rest assured, you will never be called on or forced to speak if you don’t want to.)
You will relax and have fun in the comfortable, beautiful surroundings of the Franklin Park Conservatory. It is a premier horticultural and educational institution showcasing exotic plant collections, special exhibitions, and a signature collection of work by glass artist Dale Chihuly.
"Instant friends. Exponential brilliance. Immediate related-ness. You've never experienced a love-fest quite like this. Intimacy, creativity, creation, love, love, love. Tons of fun and warm, warm memories. Can't wait to be back with the gang. This is the space to nurture your true dreams." --Carin Channing
As a life and executive coach who’s worked with busy professional women for the past 15 years (many of whom are moms, too), I understand the demands on your precious time and energy.
As women, we are so busy trying to hold everything together there is little time left for us to focus on ourselves.
With all you do, you deserve to give yourself this one
deliciously delightful day!
"The Women on Fire retreat is the perfect way to focus on recharging your batteries and finding the support that is needed to keep moving towards your goals." --Laurie Forster
So that you will have a very clear picture of what you’ll experience and receive as part of Women on Fire Day, here’s a detailed overview of the day:
1
I will share my personal insights and encourage you to go after your dreams and vision; and also answer questions from you!
2
You will meet new women to inspire you and support you.
3
You can share what you are “on fire” about or not – no one ever has to speak or say anything she doesn’t want to at any Women on Fire event.
4
You will enjoy a delicious, healthy lunchamid the beauty of the Conservatory.
5
You can engage with special guests and panelists who are role models and inspiration for living the life of your dreams.
6

7
You will celebrate the day at an exclusive gathering after the event with cupcakes and tea. It will be an opportunity to get to know (even better!) the women you met or connecteded with during the event.
Special note to Women on Fire who’ve attended past retreats: This day is especially for you. I don’t have to convince you of the benefits of celebrating and updating your dreams and reconnecting with the warm, enthusiastic energy that is Women on Fire. Each event is unique and special because of the women who attend.
You will also:
1
Meet the Women on Fire leaders from the Columbus area: Jan Allen, National Chair of Women on Fire’s Each One, Reach One program; Coaching Group and Tea Leaders Andrea Dowding and Jerry Browning.
2
Craft a plan for your next steps forward so you can take what you learned and discovered home with you and put it into practice.
3

4
Gather a circle of support that will propel you forward.
5
Participate in an inspiring closing ceremony before we all say farewell to each other until the next Women on Fire event.
…and much, much more…
Please note, this event is not for you if:
Attending would stress your family finances to the breaking point.
You have a hard time being present for other women, listening, sharing, or cheering on others’ successes.
You don’t believe you deserve a day like this.
You don’t see the value of investing in your own growth or well-being.
You don’t believe that joy, excitement, connection and friendship can go hand-in-hand with learning and growth.
You don’t particularly enjoy connecting with new women, making new friends and contacts.
BUT if the description of this event makes you feel hopeful, excited and even a little tingly about what to expect, this could be just the BIG ticket for you to take the next leap forward in your life!
At the last Women on Fire retreat in Chicago, women came from 11 states and from as far away as California, Arizona and Massachusetts.
Why? Because there is something very connecting, inspiring and uplifting for those who participate in Women on Fire programs.
It's also why Women on Fire teas and events have caught fire (pardon my pun!), first in New York City, then Boston, Columbus, Ohio, Los Angeles, Traverse City, Michigan, as well as, Martha’s Vineyard, Santa Fe, Naples, Florida and soon in Paris, France!
"For all the women out there who think they have to always put their best face forward, women on fire gives you a safe place of support to open up and be authentic! This is hands down the best group of women you will EVER meet!" --Vicki Irvin
Join us September 30, 2011 in Columbus.

Here's what a few more past participants said
after attending "Women on Fire" events:
"Having "sacred space" and time to begin to build new relationships with seekers and doers was amazing. It seemed like an eye blink in time and I still haven’t come down from the tremendous high of meeting such wonderful, openhearted women." --Christine Wagner
"The Women on Fire Retreat is a life changing experience. A safe place where I was truly me. I experienced genuine warmth, support, encouragement, and inspiration. Every person had a story and everyone cared. Priceless Experience." --Margo Frazier
"Give yourself a gift and attend a retreat where you will connect with other women on a deep, powerful level and make connections for life!" --Mary Ellen Jones
"Attending a WOF Retreat is a beautiful way to connect with other sisters to share experiences, goals and challenges. A place where we discover what is different and what is a common thread we all share. A grand source of strength and hope for the possibilities we imagine and desire." --Jeanne Burritt
"If you want to shake things up in your life, want to be surrounded by like-minded women who will inspire, encourage, be with you, make you laugh cry, and enlighten you on your journey, you HAVE to attend a women on fire event. These events are magical... It's like being at a spa that focuses on massaging your mental health. I loved being and spending time with inspiring, amazing and caring women for 2 days was THE best event I've attended all year. Debbie is THE most inspiring and giving person I've ever met. She created an atmosphere of love, inspiration, discovery, and caring that surpassed any other women's event, ever!" --Shannon McCaffery
"Every woman needs the support of other powerful women. For me the biggest value from a WOF retreat was the unbelievable willingness to give me contacts, referrals, and resources to help me build my business. I don't feel alone anymore." --Mandy Pratt
"The retreat has helped give me the strength and encouragement to move forward with a professional dream I have had for over two year. I just started a job with my first client. I am ON FIRE!!!!! I had a difficult time explaining how valuable the retreat was. I feel like it is an experience that all people would benefit from no matter where they are in their lives. I really wish it was a monthly meeting 4-6 hours." --Linda Gusloff
"If you are doing the same old thing every day and wondering why you're so tired, come to WOF. If you're wondering if life is getting boring (or if you are), come to WOF. You'll leave with energy, a clear plan, and new friends who remind you that you have passion to offer this world." --Alice Harra
"Energizing, invigorating, inspiring and powerful. Can't wait ‘til next year!" --Jenn Bajec
"It's hard to describe! It's an amazing weekend with a group of powerful, successful women who surround you and support you in rising out of your difficulties and following your dreams! It's a time to learn about yourself, when it's okay to talk about those things that you can't talk about in the real world - our fears, hardships, self-limitations, and the way to embrace and overcome them. The best part is, the support doesn't end when the retreat does... I'm uplifted every day by one or more of the women I met!" --Catherine Law
