Own Your Awkward

Joseph Carrabis told stories to anyone who would listen starting in childhood, wrote his first stories in grade school and started getting paid for his writing in 1978. He's been everything from a long-haul trucker to a Chief Research Scientist and held patents covering mathematics, anthropology, neuroscience, and linguistics based on a technology he created in his basement and from which he created an international company. He retired from corporate life and now spends his time writing fiction and non-fiction based on his experiences. His work appears regularly in anthologies and his own novels.

Anne is so much more than a short bio, and more complex than a business summary.

Whether working at her day job, volunteering with organizations she cares about, maintaining side ventures, or serving as a good friend or family member – she aims to create reliable, safe spaces for others to feel free to be themselves.

Anne has held a variety of positions in various industries. Over the last 16 years, in her role in the association space, she has overseen educational activities in several different industries, primarily within trades and healthcare (her favorite was the helicopter industry).

Currently, she is the Vice President of Education for the Healthcare Distribution Alliance.

She is fired up by connections… connections of all types. When she talks about people or projects, she sees connections. Her combination of strengths is what drives her desire to connect the right people to each other and to the right projects. She leads with confidence in her instincts in terms of the best opportunities for individuals to truly shine in their own talents, for themselves and for the greater good. The reason people feel good around her is that she truly SEES them and knows what they need to be successful. She then presents her vision of them with so much confidence and leadership they can’t help but believe her – this makes her good at getting people to do things they otherwise are unlikely to do. 😊

As her story continues to unfold, she looks forward to determining how she can best use her gifts and quirks to serve others.

Meet Yifat (pronounced "ee-fah-t", the "Y" makes the long "e" sound like in Yvonne)

She is an entrepreneur that runs an engagement marketing business that helps entrepreneurs establish instant trust with their prospects. She's been in business for over 11 years, she does Krav Maga, loves geeky things, cooks spicy food, and is a traveler and adventurer, but also one who loves her sleep and strong coffee (which really doesn't go together, does it?).

One of the first 100 people to be invited to Google+, Yifat has built her entire brand with one show on one platform that most people didn't even care about.

Google hired Yifat and flew her around the world to train their own team and speak at their offices (which they hardly let a non-Googler do). She worked with the city of Austin, was featured on radio shows, big stages and live events.

Yifat Cohen is an Engagement Booster who helps her clients amplify their digital reputation and lead the conversations with their target audience in just an hour a month. Her recent results are impressive. She just helped her client, Daniel Marcos, reach a 2,318.37% increase in views and 154.65% increase in watch time on YouTube in just 7 days!

All organic as in - no ads/affiliates/influencers or email list.

Her clients have generated over $250,000 in just 10 days and have seen conversions of 40% and high ticket sales from cold audiences. She's so successful even her cold audiences are hot!

Today, Yifat helps high-income experts activate their Expert Gene to grow their authority and business through authentic content in just 1 hour a month.
