Mia Doucet’s Summary

Professional Coaching
My passion is working with clients to increase their profits by removing whatever stands in their way . . . personal thought patterns, hidden beliefs, cross-cultural issues. Nothing is more rewarding than helping others make millions more than they would without me.

Crack The Code
I spent the past seven years of my life working through to the core issues from my childhood . . . decisions made by a five-year-old . . . that resulted in painful repeat cycles of big successes followed by big failures. Now a colleague and I have developed a system to assist others to quickly decipher and crack the hidden codes (different for everyone) that keep them from reaching their full potential.

When affirmations and visualization don't work, core issues are the reason why.

Crack The Sales Code
This seminar applies the above system to people in the sales profession, with astounding results.

Crack The Culture Code:
Asian Business Culture
A request by Siemens Motor Division in Germany to develop a seminar on working with Asia Pacific customers, suppliers and staff led to 2,000 hours of research and interviews with Asians.

The results of that research are now supported by a brain imaging study by Stanford University and Stony Brook University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that was published in January 2008.

Crack The Communication Code:
Sales Training for Engineers
My professional experience includes writing an extensive program that turns engineers and technical people into powerful, street-smart sales tools for their companies. (You might say this was my first experience in cross-cultural communication!)

Affiliations
I am a member of International Federation for Professional Speakers (IFFPS), and hold accreditations in education, sales, human resources and consulting.

Over 50 trade publications and industry magazines publish my articles, including Mechanical Engineering and Control Engineering.
