Welcome to Jeanne Gulbranson's Website

My website is as varied and eclectic as my life!

If you're interested in any of the following-you've arrived at a one-stop shop.

How about:

Leadership development for yourself, your colleagues or your employees? In 2008, while working full-time as a corporate strategist, I wrote two books: Be the Horse or the Jockey, and Pink Leadership. Busy year. Both books received a literary book award, and even better—an encouraging reception and excellent reviews from readers. They have both been included in several book clubs, high school and college leadership courses, and corporate internal training programs. All this has made that too-busy year worth the pain!

I'm pleased to offer the lessons of Be the Horse or Jockey in presentations and workshops in addition to the printed and Kindle books. The workshops are for all of you who recognize that the Silver Bullet for the challenge of sustaining successful leadership is identifying, developing and mentoring professional, highest-quality Followers.
Business strategy support for your significant corporate initiative?
I'm partnering with Joy Pecchia, the founder and CEO of Beyond Boardroom Doors , Inc. to provide strategic support to companies who are undertaking significant stabilization, re-orientation or growth initiatives. (After crafting business strategy for the last 20 years, I just can't seem to stop.) Check out our SmartStart for Corporate Initiatives program, if you are looking for the critical analysis and immediately-applicable, tactical solutions that will help you "start the way you intend to finish."
Marketing, launch and operational support for your new business?
I've always had a high regard for free enterprise and entrepreneurial spirit. I love the excitement, courage, and (very often) brilliance that entrepreneurs bring to the rest of us. A great day is when I can support the soon-to-be-wildly-successful owner hit the ground running and realize the dream! See the SmartStart program that Joy Pecchia at Beyond Boardroom Doors and I are offering just for entrepreneurs.

Working with new business-owners, (and the 16 different companies I built for myself!) drove me to write another book-just for entrepreneurs! Start Smart: Business-Building Lessons from a Serial Entrepreneur. Check it out on Amazon.com or on the Beyond Boardroom Doors site for an extraordinary offer from Joy Pecchia.
A not-teaching-you-anything, just-fun-to-read book?
Last year, I co-authored a book that is NOT about leadership development: I Can Hear the Applause . It's the memoir of Lisa Medford, who was the first nude showgirl in Vegas (in 1957), Cary Grant's lover, a Hollywood darling, and a former drug dealer. The reviews all say "Great read-fun look at old Vegas!" I'm pleased that so many readers have purchased multiple copies as gifts. That's when you know they've really enjoyed the book!
Fiction that comes in short bites?
I'm pleased to announce my first fiction publication: Heart-to-Heart and Other Tales of Love and Laughter. This is my debut collection of 13 of my short-stories including five that received awards in various literary competitions. You can read more about my latest ebook on the Heart-to-Heart page in the Writing section . The stories in Heart-to-Heart are as diverse as my life! I hope you enjoy them!

I look forward to hearing from you about.any and all of what you find here!
