GWBO Bite Size Interviews - Dr Marilyn Godfrey

We caught up with Dr Marilyn Godfrey who spoke to us about her experience of the Getting Welsh Business Online initiative.

Former International athlete, Marilyn is nicknamed 'Mrs Magic' for her transformational abilities in enabling people of all ages to change, attain peak performance and turn their lives around to be more successful in their businesses and personal lives.  Using a variety of skills including Speech work, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Master Practitioner, International Trainers' Trainer and University Lecturer Marilyn produces results quickly and gently.

''As a Licensed NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner I work with people who need to communicate better, and who need to make changes, helping them earn more money and live their dreams.

Most of my clients find me by word of mouth, which is great, but I wanted to reach a wider audience because I work online and by phone as well as face to face.

I wanted to build my own website and I hadn’t done it because I thought everyone else knew what they were doing and I didn’t. Then I heard about the Google initiative to help people get their businesses online and I thought that’s worth a try.  So I went along to the launch in Cardiff Bay and was amazed to discover how many other people of all ages wanted the same information as me, and how easy the tools were to access.

Previously I hadn’t used any Google tools, but now I’m building my own website with the help of the Google Juice Bar. I was amazed by how simple the website builder is to use, I can just drag and drop photos off my camera into it! Once it’s finished I’m really interested in getting to grips with AdWords to advertise online too.  If I can do it, anyone can!
