Give Birth to Your Gift
Where Are You
In the Product/Service Life Cycle?
Like Venus was born perfectly formed from the foaming sea, your idea can be born perfectly formed and ready to market. Product development really isn’t that hard, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to begin. And, at other times, you can get stuck. The Product Midwife helps you through the process from conceiving your unique product or service through marketing once its "born."

As The Product Midwife, I offer coaching and support services during all phases of the product/service life-cycle. The types of services that will best benefit you depend on where you are in the cycle. To find out which products and services are best for you, click on the link in the upper left corner corresponding to where you think you may be.
For a complete description of the product/service life-cycle, subscribe to my opt-in list by clicking on the button to the left. In return, I’ll send you a free PDF report explaining the different phases in the Product/Service Life Cycle. (You will need a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat, to read this file.)
One-to-One Coaching
I offer two types of coaching programs: Coaching Only and a Coaching/Consulting Combination. With both types of program, I help you reach your goals through probing questions, advice based on my experience and research, and other coaching techniques. You do the work.
However, with the combination program, I offer more hands-on services, including helping you do some of the work myself.
To see if we are a good match, I offer a free 30-minute “get to know you” session. To set your appointment, please complete the form below.

Group Coaching Courses
Sometimes people learn better in groups. The group dynamic can add incredible value to the coaching experience because you can learn from several people at the same time, as well as offer your unique wealth of knowledge and talent.
Currently, several group coaching courses are under development.
Calling the Stork
A Pre-Conception Group Class
In Western culture the White Stork is a symbol of childbirth. So, in keeping with The Product Midwife’s analogy, “Calling the Stork” is calling forth your unique gift or gifts, so that they can manifest as products and services. In this course the group uncovers their passions and core purpose, thus discovering their unique gifts. By the end of the course, each participant should have at least one idea for a product or service that is in alignment with their core interests, skills and calling.
The Baby Steps of Product/Service Development
A Gestation & Development Group Class
You have an idea for a product but are unsure of how to develop and launch it to the world. In this course, participants learn the basic steps of product and service development and leave the class with at least a game plan for developing their product or service, if not something ready to launch.
The Marketing Vortex System
A Post-Natal Group Class
An ineffective or dysfunctional marketing funnel can cripple your business. And simple marketing funnels, as taught in most marketing courses can get tired and less effective over time. In this course participants learn how to create effective marketing funnels for their businesses and spin them into client-attracting, magnetic, marketing vortices!
