The Motown Etiquette and Style Coach Maxine Powell
Maxell Powell brought refinement and sophistication to many of the most gifted popular music artists in the 1960's. A foundling member of Motown's Artist Development department, Powell became the record company's finishing instructor as well as fashion designer and consultant from 1964 - 1969. She stressed the importance of social etiquette, posture and stage presence. Her personal instruction helped launch the careers of artists such as Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Temptations and the Supremes.
Powell spent two hours a day with each performer, teaching them that they were being trained for two places, The White House and Buckingham Palace. Under Powell's guidance Motown artists were groomed to play the stages of the Copacabana, Latin Casino, the Ed Sullivan Show and concert halls throughout England. She taught positive change through body language, public speaking, appropriate clothing and etiquette.
To quote Martha Reeves, "Powell taught the Motown performers that each individual was capable of achieving an intrinsic sense of beauty. She told us we were all God's flowers and inspired us to let the inner being show."
Thnak you Ms. Powell for our lasting memories of Motown.

Re: Business Coaching Resources
- You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses.
You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time.
You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
Post subject: Too successful for a mate?
- That was an interesting article, Shri!
Most of the women I know who continue to be single have some type of self limiting behavior which interferes with them either meeting or attracting the perfect mate for them.
They are incredible and talented women, they just haven't set themselves up for relationship success. I know there are men who may be intimidated, but there are also men who aren't. Some men are attracted to smart women!
My advice to these women would be to focus on creating the right environment for a relationship to happen. This would be a great time to hire a Life Coach or Relationship Coach.
Taking action to get ready for a relationship doesn't mean having to be aggressive in finding a man. It's more subtle. If you don't make room for a man in your life, you might just squeeze out the opportunity before he gets to you. As well, you may be sending off all the wrong signals without realizing it.
Seriously, I don't think successful women are off the proverbial "good wife material list". However, if you think yourself off of it then don't be surprised if you fulfill your own prophecy.
Re: Search Engine Friendly Coding
- According to my experience, You should avoid flash and java script while making a website for online business promotion. These type of coding also increases website loading time so avoid it. You can also use external CSS "Cascading Style sheet" for placing images on website it will reduce website loading time.
