Question
Hello there

My name is Samantha Graham and i am currently running a website for young
mothers (like myself).
My partner and i developed the website from scratch on our own, me having
the idea, and my partner having the skills to put it all together.
It is a forum type website, with a questions and answers section, a tips
section, along with a discounts section where companies offer my members
discounts off thier products, and a second hand items buy and sell section.
The website has members from all over the world, so it is not based on one
particular country, we want to help all young mothers.

Why i am writing to you today is i am seeking a whole group of people who
have skills in either counselling, working with young people, midwives,
dulas,psychologists, people who run their own organisation for young people
and basically anyone else who can provide some help with life obsticalls,
and preperation for becoming a parent,(or just everyday things that young mothers may want to learn about or not know how to do, even the most simplest thing i want to be able to help them with) to help out by contributing to an
online chat with members via our chat room, to offer advice in your field or
to give them an opportunity to perhaps contact you in some way (via email)
and ask you some questions they may have, and you can reply? (in your own
time)
This can be a once off thing if thats what you would like, or if you have
some spare time on your hand (who ever has that? lol) you might like to make
it a monthly thing, completely upto you. As i cannot pay for your services i
can be as flexible as i need to be to have you be able to help me out and
provide this opportunity to my members.
If you are uncomfortable with giving out your email address ill be happy to
set up on just for you to use so once you have helped out your one time you
will no longer receive any questions etc.
Also if you have any services or products you wish to promote ill be more
than happy to let you do so while doing this with my members.

Please visit my website at www.youngmummies.info

So if you would like to help out please email me back or feel free to call
me (i am in Australia, Melbourne)
my numbers are:
Home: (03)97992342
Mobile: 0410860097

Ill be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks for taking the time to read this email, and i hope to be hearing from
you soon.

Kind Regards

Samantha Graham

Expertise

Attention Working Moms! I answer questions on how you can manage your time more effectively, design work that fits your life, and reduce the stress and frustration that comes from juggling multiple priorities. I also answer questions on how companies can engage and retain working mothers who may normally choose to "opt out" of highly-skilled careers to find work/life balance.

Experience

I am a work/life effectiveness consultant and trainer with over 11 years of experience in Leadership, Organizational Behavior and Personal Effectiveness. As the CEO/Founder of The Integrated Mother®, I help fulfill the company’s mission to develop opportunities for women to thrive and succeed as leaders, parents and high-impact individuals. I also serve on the faculty for Rio Salado College and Grand Canyon University where I instruct courses in entrepreneurship, organizational behavior and English. And most important...I'm a working mother with three children ages 7, 5 and 2-1/2.

Education/Credentials
I hold a bachelor degree in English, a master's degree in Organization Development and post-graduate certificates in management, entrepreneurship and coaching. I am also certified to deliver leading management programs, including FranklinCovey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" workshop.
