After 35 years in the beauty industry, Coreen walked away from a successful career, traveled to Mexico, learned silversmithing, and built a bold jewelry brand inspired by culture, color, and personal expression.Today her designs are collected by women worldwide, who want their style to tell their story.I loved the lessons she shared that any entrepreneur can apply:Turn frustration into opportunity When Coreen was ignored by plastic surgeons she tried to partner with, she tracked the referrals she sent them and returned a year later with proof of the business she generated.Let curiosity sell for you Coreen wears her bold jewelry everywhere—grocery store, events, lunch. The pieces spark conversations that naturally turn into customers.Don't get the wrong idea: it wasn't always easy: Coreen described sitting in a chair crying because her business wasn’t working.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Leslie Lautenslager shares personal insights from her 25 years serving as a trusted advisor and protocol expert for General Colin L. Powell. Leslie discusses the "art and science" of protocol, explaining how formal rules provide a framework for building international relationships while kindness dictates when those rules should be finessed. We explore her unique journey from a double major in psychology and fine arts to the U.S. State Department, and eventually to her pivotal role managing General Powell’s international speaking circuit and his office during his tenure as Secretary of State.The conversation dives into the General’s "love note" system—a rigorous training method he used to ensure his staff remained "in harmonic" with his high standards and expectations. Leslie also highlights the simple but profound power of the handwritten thank-you note, a practice both she and the General credited for opening doors and maintaining deep professional respect. You will learn how to prepare for high-stakes leadership, why treating everyone with respect is the ultimate diplomatic tool, and what it was like to work alongside a leader who was a constant student of the world.About Leslie Lautenslager:Leslie Lautenslager is a distinguished protocol expert with a career spanning over three decades of high-level diplomacy and international relations.
