ABOUT THE FOUNDER:

Dubbed by the president of ICF-NYC, Laurie Lawson, as 'the' Reinvention Consultant, Jude Gorgopa has been self-employed for most of her adult life and is always one step ahead of the curve. She founded Clout Et Cetera in April of 2001 along with her more recent charity, Fraidy's Friends. She served for two years on the BOD of the 23rd Street Association in Manhattan along with current active participation in other professional, civic, and charitable organizations in NYC and abroad. Having reached a place where she can focus on those things she is most passionate about, Jude is committed to helping her clients do the same.

Headquartered for many years in Manhattan, Jude considers herself a true New Yorker even though she was born, raised, and started on her entrepreneurial path in far Western Canada with all the seasonal outdoor activities that the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Rockies are noted for.

She currently works with the self-employed, small business owners, and those caught in the corporate world of middle management and above along with anyone simply longing for change.

As the founder of Clout Et Cetera, she provides resources, guidance, training, and reinvention tools along with her recently launched eBook, The Fundamentals of Clout: Powerful First Impressions with Personal Style Basics, the first in a planned series. Among other future events, Jude will be forming more mastermind-like support groups, and success story networking events for all those who need reinvention at any level in their lives & businesses.

Her first published handbook, The Power of Personal Style, was used in her classes at NYU & FIT and was pitched by a production company in L.A. to create possible segments for the Style Network.

Often described as a fireball of energy and enthusiasm, she is, among several things, a business owner, mentor, certified coach, published writer, ardent traveler, and an advocate/fundraiser for causes close to her heart. Jude is also a former adjunct faculty member at both NYU & FIT with over 25 years of diverse international expertise in several areas including: acting/coaching for television & stage, fashion/commercial print model, photo/film stylist, professional image coach, corporate trainer, and a licensed insurance professional holding the high esteem of being both a top producer and award winning trainer.

 

She has been featured and quoted on the radio, tv, and in several publications including: British Airways Connect online, Where Magazine, Fashion Mannusript, Women and Business Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, New York NewsDay, the New York Post, OCS News/Japan, ANA/Nippon Airlines Magazine, & Coach Chat Radio, and has been dubbed by many over the years as 'the source' for ... "getting some clout to get anything done!..."   ..." a highly motivating and inspiring speaker..."...."has a contagious energy and enthusiasm!..."
