NABBW Monthly Teleseminars

NABBW February 2010 Teleseminar
Living Single at Midlife with Jane Scandurra Co-Director and Co-Producer of documentary Single www.singlefilm.com Tuesday, February 9, 2010 3:00 PM (EST)
Jane
is a seasoned marketing professional with over 25 years experience. A
"corporate marketing chick" turned documentary filmmaker and
entrepreneur, she's held various global marketing management roles at
industry leading companies including IBM, Nokia, Prodigy,
Bristol-Myers, and BBDO. Jane is co-producer/co-director of the feature
documentary film "Single" (www.singlefilm.com) about the growth of the
unmarried population and the challenges of finding a lasting
relationship in today's crazy world. A recent BarnesandNoble.com "Pick
of the Week," the film is currently available on DVD and digital
download through popular online retailers including Amazon.com,
Barnesandnoble.com, and NetFlix as well as via video on demand through
Verizon FIOS and other national and regional cable operators.
Jane's
passion for social networking has made her a frequent radio and TV talk
show guest, including a national appearance on Fox TV last fall. Her
insights on how to enjoy living single will be part of a feature
article in the March issue of MORE Magazine. Jane's day job is
providing strategic planning/program management services for Fortune
500 companies, marketing agencies, and non-profit organizations. She is
also a professionally trained personal coach and avid public speaker,
offering training and consulting services on personal branding and
social networking for organizations and individuals.
Here is a sample of what Jane will discuss during this teleseminar:
- Despite popular belief, a "happy single woman" is not an oxymoron.
- The
playing field is leveling off. Men still seem to want to date younger
women, but now two can play that game. A growing number of younger guys
are dating older women - in a big way. But I'm still not
convinced that this trend will stick in long term relationships.
- If
the guy you're dating thinks your body isn't perfect, change the guy,
not your body. (note on this: I'm 115 lbs and my boyfriend insisted
that I get liposuction - not surprisingly, he became an ex-boyfriend)
. - "Recycling"
is good for more than just the environment -- Looking up that old flame
from high school or college that you haven't seen in 30 years....can be
a pleasantly surprise.
- "CYA" now stands for "cover
your ASSets." In midlife, we have a lot more to lose, so we are
being more cautious than ever in our partner selection. A large
percentage of marriages break up over finance issues. Once in
mid-life, many marriages don't ever take place because of it.
- Casual
hook ups - it may be a lot easier and less stressful in mid-life, but
is it really satisfying?? If the ultimate goal is to find a meaningful
relationship, is hooking up with Mr. Right Now a pleasant distraction
that's preventing us from seeing Mr. Right?
- Online
dating - yes, the market is huge and growing for the over 45 crowd.
I've been on and off over the years. I've met some interesting men, but
it's always the same string of similar disappointments that makes me
say, "never again."
- Most important perhaps...."You are what you think" seems to become more evident in mid-life. Don't ever think it's too late to fall in love. Again. Believe it.

websites, blogs, branding and viral marketing techniques -- to help

information with others. (FYI -- This teleseminar is an example
of social media techniques as Phyllis is in Los Angeles and Barry is in
Jerusalem yet they work together.)What you will learn on the call:
