Incubator Moment From Gabriele Agustini

From Los Angeles Incubator Member, Gabriele Agustini who designs beautiful silk and velvet wraps.

I've always been a little on the shy side, especially in a room full of people! Being an artist, most of my time was spent working with only - me, myself and I.  After taking an Incubator with the wonderful Sarah Shaw, and an Advanced Incubator with the awesome Amy Swift - that all changed! I feel more comfortable showing and talking about my hand-painted silk accessories, and I learned to mingle amongst others, without feeling shy and awkward.

Now when the "itty bitty sh*tty committee" in my head says "YOU can't do that!" I say "Watch me!!".
My new-found confidence has even allowed me to mingle with celebrities, and I'm proud to say that Elizabeth Taylor, Stephanie Powers, Kathy Hilton (Paris' mom) several of the "Deal Or No Deal" girls, "Mr. Blackwell", Barry Manilow, Clint Eastwood, Roger Moore, and many others - now own my
accessories! The ideas, encouragement and confidence I received from Ladies Who Launch is priceless!  I thank you all! I couldn't have done it without you!
