Looking for a Shine?

Putting Your Best Foot Forward

"I'm just a Plano shoeshine girl," Denise Pullen jokes. "I don't have a title. I shine shoes."  Her business, The Classic Shine, started small 25 years ago in Dallas with a single purpose: She hired only women."I wanted to give women a Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 job," she said. "I wanted a more stable income for women. I always had a vision."  From a single portable shoeshine stand, Denise has grown her all-tuxedo-clad woman business to encompass conventions, trade shows, to-your-office, and even personal shoeshine-o-grams.  She will share the insights she's gathered over her years as a classy professional woman entrepreneur in a male-dominated world, and give her best advice on how to SHINE!

The Beautiful Mind

The greatest gift of beauty God gave every woman

Lifelong entrepreneur Tim Gillette had a long history of working, but not always doing what he dreamed of doing, working for others, until an accident stopped him from working in the way he knew it.  He began a journey into the world of entrepreneurs, where he learned the value of mentoring, mastermind groups, and coaching to help people achieve success through many kinds of life transitions.  Tim will help us identify effective ways to face our own challenges and transitions.
