The first thing you’ll notice when you meet Helena Trangata is her smile. She gives off an energy that makes you want to rub against her in hopes of stealing some of it.

Helena is another rare networker who’s goal is truly to help others first. If you do your job and do it well, she’s happy to tell everyone she knows about you and your business.

The first time I photographed Helena was for Bras & Boas, an event held every few months as a pampering party for women complete with a mini-boudoir portrait session shot by me. She unleashed all the sass she had and brought the event to a new level with her humor and gusto. When she received her 8X10 print from the event, she carried it around with her to show others my work and her beautiful photo. I don’t know anyone who takes that much effort and personal time to market another person’s business.

The next time I photographed her was for a business head shot. She continues to tell people about my work and if they mention “head shot”, she’s there with my name and number.

While Helena is a funny, entertaining woman, she is also a professional on all levels. She was a sales representative for Arbonne but now she has embarked on a new journey as a life coach for Bellisimo.

“I was selling Arbonne (and still am) but found that many of the women had self esteem issues. A Compass coach talked to a room full of us gals about what we would do with more energy. The women shared and emotions flowed. I left there feeling as though I had left a powerful church service. Yet as I said to a friend that night I am not sure what to do with this,” said Helena.

She began working with Compass in October of 2009 but continued to sell Arbonne.

“As I grew in Compass I found that it truly was my passion to allow women and teen girls to experience stepping into their greatness via affordable coaching – priceless! I became a certified coach in March. I have both private and group coaching available. I have coached for years as a parent (I have two sons and five grandkids), a friend, a manager and as a banker via my many financial licenses – coached many on their financial well being. I presently concentrate on these areas: Spiritual Vision board gatherings, Heart & Soul Massages – a non physical service (to allow a more holistic approach) for spas and resorts, and “take back you” time and energy coaching. During these last few months I have had wonderful people come into my path. Never have I had a more rewarding position. I am truly blessed!”

If you’re looking for a way to improve yourself or get that extra “zing” out of life, talk to Helena. At the very least, you’ll make a new friend with a heart of gold.
