Debbie Ducic’s Summary

We attract, motivate, train and develop Gutzy Women (and Brave Men) as a way of life. It’s a belief system. It’s a new innovative and creative way of working together……Of dreaming together...Of manifesting together.
Our reason for being here is to establish our credibility with other members as ethical, qualified, experienced, talented, action oriented, and caring human beings who are passionate about helping others (especially women) create more abundance and freedom in their lives.
It is our belief that new technologies and the world wide web is the key to opening up more possibilities for EVERYBODY, especially women. But education and involvement is essential. That's where GutZy Women fills the gap.
We hold classes, workshops, networking events, teleseminars, webcasts, podcasts and business expos. We teach through websites, blogs, video, audio and live events. We take it further by hands on help with social networking, social bookmarking, content syndication, bloging, vloging, podcasting, live video streaming, joint venturing and co-promoting with mostly women owned small business owners, fundraisers and visionaries.
Debbie Ducic’s Specialties:
Our specialty is marketing to, with and for women. We do it primarily in the virtual world, but in the real world as well. What makes us unique is our approach.
Many people are intimidated, frustrated, fearful or overwhelmed by computers and Internet technology. Women, especially babyboomers, want help. We deeply understand that and so approach them with understanding, empathy and a gentle approach...a VERY DIFFERENT approach than the typical "techie" mentality.
