Entrepreneur and author Barbie Hall Gummin began her career building a sandwich board advertising company in Newport, RI, then Washington DC and Ithaca, New York. The business paid her way through Catholic University and a year at Cornell. Barbie landed a position at Young & Rubicam Advertising agency in Manhattan with clients including Lipton, Bristol-Myers and Unilever. Passionate about health and fitness, Barbie moved to Colorado and created a highly successful consumer packaged goods promotion company that targeted health clubs throughout the United States. She enrolled dozens of Fortune 500 companies and thousands of health clubs nationwide in her business.
After 16 years, Barbie sold Promote It to The Active Network then took a sabbatical to explore next steps in her life. Her new book, Ka’Ching – How to Make Your Fortune in Midlife describes what it took to start “Promote It” and her new business, “TLC5 – The Life Coaching Connection” which launched Labor Day, 2011.
TLC5 was created to market Life Coaching as a significant industry that improves lives not only for high net-worth individuals and sports professionals but for anyone who wants to achieve more in life. TLC5 is a resource for life coaches and coachees to find each other. Consumers and Life Coaches who join TLC5’s “Club Fearless” interact through coaching webinars (recorded and archived for easy access), interactive on-line forums, a blog, daily Life Coaching Tips and behind the scenes conversations. Consumers are invited to interview coaches listed in the Club Fearless Directory which includes coach contact information, photo and bio. TLC5 is reaching out to member based organizations and sponsors to support the business while consumers and Life Coaches are charged a nominal membership fee.
