Elizabeth Fletcher Brown

Elizabeth Fletcher Brown, the founder of WomenWorkingSolo.com, has successfully made a living as a solopreneur, doing what she absolutely loves, for over 20 years.

After graduating from the University of London's Laban Center for Movement and Dance, and the London School of Contemporary Dance, Elizabeth enjoyed a very successful career as a professional dancer in New York City, London, Tokyo and Los Angeles. She performed extensively on Broadway, film, television and in print.

She said, "What this stage of my life taught me was the importance of following your dreams, the art of being persistent, the meaning of discipline, not taking rejection personally, the importance of working together in a team, knowing when to take the stage as a leader and shine and when to be a supportive follower, how to work with "prima donnas" (literally)… and so much more. All of this became the foundation for her future business successes."

One of her more unusual assignments resulted in her being featured at Madame Tussaud's Waxwork Museum in London. And some of her most fun jobs were performing with various artists, including Janet Jackson in NYC.

One of her most fulfilling projects was working with the Artist-In-The-Schools program in Hawaii, using movement and dance to help young, adolescent girls gain confidence in their bodies and their feminine persona. This expanded into her later volunteering with the renowned arts-based program for teens, The Power of Hope.

Elizabeth then traveled internationally as a sought after workshop facilitator for personal and professional development workshops, teaching thousands of participants and inspiring them to move into action at previously unknown levels. Since 1989 Elizabeth's workshops and seminars have acted as catalysts, assisting others in practical ways of bringing greater purpose to their lives, exploring new possibilities, and cultivating the skills and confidence in themselves to go after what they really want.

In addition to creating thriving Healing Arts Centers in Annapolis, MD, Washington, DC and Hawaii with her husband Francis, Elizabeth also become the #4 producer for a top natural foods networking company within months.

One of her most recent accomplishments has been the creation of The Massage Business Center, a virtual university for massage therapists and healers to learn business skills. It is consistently ranked at the top of the search engines.

Her present company, Life Mastery International, is dedicated to supporting entrepreneurial women in establishing an inspiring, compelling vision of their future business success, and developing a strategic framework to get there. She also loves helping self-employed professionals stand out from the crowd and be recognized as masterful in their field.

Elizabeth believes that we each have something unique to share with the world, and doing so will lead to us being more vibrant, dynamic and enthusiastic in all areas of our life. She integrates this philosophy into every aspect of her work.

Elizabeth is certified with Success Unlimited Network®, one of the oldest coach training organizations in the US, attended the Graduate School of Coaching and the School of Small Business Coaching, and is a founding member of the International Association of Coaches.

She has also completed advanced levels of the acclaimed Peak Potentials Train-the-Trainer Program for excellence in facilitating skills including accelerated learning technologies. Elizabeth is also certified as a trainer with Consulting Resource Group, using their personal and professional development products, programs and systems for excellence in business and in life.

As a Licensed and Certified Wealth Builder with "Millionaire Maker" Loral Langemeier, Elizabeth teaches financial awareness workshops for women.

As an active member of her community, Elizabeth is the past director of the Bellingham Women's Chapter of Leads Club, and is a member of the Bellingham Women's Professional Network.

Elizabeth's Personal Quest: Understanding what makes people tick. What inspires them to go beyond the ordinary to achieve the extra-ordinary.

Elizabeth's Greatest Achievement: When she was 21 years old Elizabeth left behind her family, friends and everyone and everything she knew (she's from Scotland) to move to New York City, and to a country where she knew nobody, to follow her life-long dream of being a professional dancer (which she did). This adventuring spirit still lives on in her today!

Elizabeth lives in Bellingham, Washington with her husband Francis, and their dog JJ.
