I’ve attended Ellen’s workshops over ten times; Ellen is an engaging speaker and her content is clear, actionable, and immediately usable. Learning business skills through poker strategy has enormously impacted my life, especially in regards to building strong relationships through negotiation. The Bold System gave me the courage and confidence to do what I’ve really wanted to do: start my own business! I can’t thank you enough, Ellen!

I got this book for my Aunt who is a poker player . I was curious and opened the book with the idea of skimming it. After all, I thought, I don’t gamble and I certainly don’t play poker. As I read page after page I made a discovery. I was a “Poker Woman.” Of course I never thought of myself as one before. Just for fun I took your quiz and came out with a solid “B” and my epiphany was that the same skills that are important in love, life and business have their parallel in poker. I do not know the first thing about the game but my whole perception of poker has changed after reading this book. I might even give playing poker a try!

Knowing poker is a necessity to stay competitive professionally. It is a great way to get face time with clients. Similar to golf, it allows women to be at the table with potential clients that were previously off limits.
