The Women Success Builder
Felicia Shanken is Founder/ CEO at both Philadelphia Women's Network Connection, LLC (PWNC), and PWNC Foundation. A redoubtable women business strategist and success builder, she established PWNC Foundation, Inc. in October 2019 with the pre-eminent mission of helping corporate women transition with seamless and effortless ease into full time entrepreneurship.
Employing the platform of the PWNC Foundation Transition Program, and vociferously preaching the gospel of the remarkable ‘leap of faith’ that she had to take to break free of the shackles of corporate ‘slavery,’ so to speak, she instituted a bespoke program specifically tailored to meet the compelling needs of corporate women who yearned to become full-time entrepreneurs.
In addition to assisting such women with start-up full-time businesses, PWNC Foundation also helps existing businesses that are either struggling or aspiring for further growth. The transition program itself is a comprehensive bouquet of deliverables that incorporates mentorship, business education, peer-to-peer support, business support, resources for financing, seminars, e-learning courses and workshops on key topics that are vital for a business to thrive.
At PWNC Foundation, subject experts are responsible for imparting knowledge in Business Structure, Accounting, Legal, Marketing, Sales, Product Pricing, Strategic Planning, Goal Setting, Leadership, and Fund Sourcing.
Felicia, whose organization is WBE, MBE, and EDWOSB certified, comes from a medical background having obtained an Associate Degree in Nursing from Gwynedd Mercy University, Pennsylvania. She worked at the Department of Veteran Affairs in Philadelphia for close to ten years before embarking on a full-time entrepreneurial career.
Felicia was recognized as an Influential leader and Business owner for Small Businesses “VIP Global Magazine,” May 2021. She was recognized as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Women in Business in “USA Today Black History Month Special Edition Magazine” of February 2022, in which she was mentioned for being a black-owned business. She is a May 2023 Cohort 3 Graduate-Alumni of Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business Program.
Felicia is happily married to Paul Shanken, who sits on the board of PWNC Foundation, and they are proud parents of Maximus Shanken, a pit bull who serves as Board Mascot. The Global Institute For Human Excellence is proud to present this extraordinary achiever as its guest of the week, while wishing her speedy dispensation for even greater accomplishments in the future.

THE GHOSTWRITER
Creating Authors Out of Storytellers
Summer Manuscript Festival (SUMMER-FEST 2023)
The man was crisp, and he was brisk. He went straight to the point.
“My name is DeWayne Johnson. I’m a small business owner in Atlanta, Georgia, and I would like to write a book to promote and advertise my brand. I learnt about your Summer Manuscript Promo from a friend. Tell me about it.”
“Delighted! Indeed, every summer, I identify with my clientele base through my Summer Manuscript Festival (SUMMER-FEST) by offering an across-board 50% discount on my ghostwriting services. That means, between June 1st and August 31st, my fee drops from $10,000 to $5,000 for book writing, and from $1,500 to $750 for grant writing. It is my own way of expressing gratitude, and giving back to a formidably loyal client base all across the globe.”
“How marvelous! Listen, I need you to get to work immediately on my book. But first, please introduce yourself in just one sentence.”
"Indeed, DeWayne, I am a ghostwriter. I am in the business of creating published authors out of storytellers.”
"How totally intriguing! How exactly would you assist an aspiring author like myself achieve my objective?” DeWayne asked.
“To put matters in a nutshell, I would receive your story and synthesize it with such creativity that the entire narrative is translated into words that reflect your own 'voice.’”
“Tell me about your process, Yomi.”
“I specialize in using personal sagas and entrepreneurial odysseys to promote family and corporate brands. I deploy the combination of focused research, and language proficiently delivered with superlative fluency, to arrive at a literary outcome that is written and finished in exquisite literary taste."
"How does the process start?" DeWayne asked, by now totally entranced.
"We would start with the outstanding introduction that will allow you to relate with your reader on an emotional level. That also means telling your story in such a manner that your reader is so compellingly drawn to you that he can relate with you as a kindred spirit. Of equal importance, we will develop a Book Synopsis, which is a concise two-paragraph summary that will convey the message of the entire book. An art in itself, it will provide your book with an incredible readership leverage. Next, I would guide you in crafting a befitting book title, and an outline of the chapters.”
“Surely, putting together thousands of words must be a great challenge! How do you manage to achieve that feat?”
“My obligation is to present you as someone with the inexhaustible store of words that will allow you to achieve the ultimate objective of using your book to leave a unique legacy. Between us, those ‘thousands of words’ will roll out to deploy interactive dialogue in such a way as to bring raw emotions to the surface in any encounter.”
“How long does it take to write the average book?" DeWayne asked.
“The entire magically seamless and creative process will take no longer than two months.”
“Your passion is infectious!"
“Indeed, DeWayne, it cannot be otherwise. The passion of which you speak is actually the powerful and emotive current that is the creative force of the universe. In sacrosanct truth, I am merely a conduit of service for the manifestation of that creativity."
"Thank you, Yomi. My Cashier’s Check is on the way!”

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
FROM GLORY TO GLORY
Seize The Moment. Act Now!
Can a young man, no matter how frivolous in inclination, fall on his right knee to produce a 24-carat gold engagement ring from his pocket to propose, and in the same instance declare, “Sweetheart, I will hold onto this ring for another three months, in case you change your mind.” Won't a more confident and diligent suitor come along and seize the nuptial initiative from him?
Will the leopard, after killing its prey, a positively palatable gazelle, now abandon the uneaten carcass to embark on a brief holiday to gaze at the tourists on a safari tour of the game reserve? Won't it hastily bear its food up the nearest tree for storage, lest the cunning hyena creep up to make mincemeat of a hard day's job?
Would you be like the Roman general, who on his way to conquer a distant empire, after plundering the first village he encountered, decided to celebrate this minor victory by dissipating himself in gluttony, wining and orgiastic revelry? Won’t a more diligent general go right ahead to plunder the waiting empire?
Can a merchant, after closing a particularly profitable sale, say to his customer, "Friend, you have been a very good customer, and this has been a most fulfilling transaction. I am famished, and my eyelids droop with sleep. Go to your home and return tomorrow to pay for the goods and collect them." Won't the bewildered customer conveniently fall into the hands of a more diligent merchant?
Can the fireman, after putting out the flames on the first floor landing, decide to take a lunch break? Won't the entire block be reduced to rubble and ashes by the time he's through with his sandwich?
Simply refuse to be satisfied with your past successes. For, today's victory can quite easily dissolve into tomorrow's failure. That is why you must refuse to indulge in complacence on the road of life. Indeed, having scored an unqualified victory, you can take the afternoon off, but you simply cannot afford to take the year off. The Book of Life says it all: "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall!"
Today, resolve to set a challenging, but achievable goal. Resolve also that, immediately you attain that goal, you will set another, refusing to rest on your oars. That way, your epitaph can creditably read, “Here lies the one who nimbly stepped from one worthy goal to the other, very much like the happy frog in the pond, who nimbly jumps from one stone to the other in search of sustenance!”
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"To take a day off to celebrate a victory is refreshing. To take the entire year off is sheer folly." - The Sage
Culled from the book, “The Sage - An Extraordinary Tale of Mentorship And Self-Mastery. A 21st Century Mentorpedia. Release Date: October 2023
