Contacts. Some you wear, some you share. Robbie Motter has great vision without wearing contacts. It’s the other kind she eyes every day, and shares with other women.
Motter, a Menifee resident for 21 years, has a rich resume that tells an impressive story of success in the government and corporate business worlds at a time when women executives were an anomaly. Now she is dedicated to helping other women experience success as well.
While admitting to be 75 years old, she noted, “Age is just a number, and mine’s unlisted.”
What has been listed is an array of honors over the years, most recently the Woman of the Year and Lifetime Presidential Volunteer awards from the For You/National Association of Female Executives (NAFE).
Motter is Western and Mid-Atlantic coordinator for NAFE, an international networking organization with 66,000 members whose mission is to help women grow personally and professionally. She also is president of the Menifee/Sun City Woman’s Club, and serves on the board of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce, whose 35th anniversary will be marked in January with a celebration she is chairing.
Motter’s approach to success is based on two of her favorite pieces of advice. One is: “It’s all about showing up, and showing up is like a treasure map — you never know what treasure you will find.”
That quote was chosen to appear in the 2012 calendar for Woman’s Advantage Shared Wisdom.
So, she said, the first step is participating in networking activities — you have to show up. Her second piece of advice is, “The power is in the asking. Women love to volunteer, but they have a hard time asking for anything.”
She encourages women to create a “bucket list” and share it with others. A member of the local NAFE group recently said that she’d love to meet the Motown singer Smokey Robinson. Motter mentioned it at a function in Los Angeles, and one of the women at the table said, “Oh, I have him on my phone’s speed dial.”
“I’m working on making that happen,” Motter said. “But the point is that you have to ask — otherwise, how would anyone know?”
Over the years, Motter estimates that she has made connections with 10,000 women, and is adding more every day. While giving a class one day, she mentioned that she’d love to visit Italy. Sure enough, someone in the audience had a “connection” — one of Motter’s favorite words — and the result was a week in Tuscany for $800 with all expenses included.
After settling in Menifee, Motter started her own business, Contacts Unlimited, which provides public relations and marketing services. She also does a lot public speaking, and will give a Vision Board class on Sunday, at 1 p.m. at Boston Billie’s restaurant in Menifee.
A vision board is a collage of images and text that inspires people to achieve their dreams.
“The idea behind this is that when you surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live or where you want to vacation, or where you want your business to be, your life changes to match these images and these desires.”

Robbie's Press Releases Press Release 55 Profitable Ways To Power Networking Testimonials A New E-Book written byThe Networking Divas June Davidson and Robbie Motter In today’s world it's all about building relationships and truly know what it is you really want and need and then letting others know that information as well.
Many already have their 30 & 60 second commercials down pat, but what they are not doing is adding the following: “And How You Can Help Me Is”, and I would like to know “How I can help YOU”.
This new e-book from www.asla.com called 55 Profitable Ways To Power Networking can be purchased and downloaded this week.
Davidson and Motter are both master Power Networking Divas who interact with thousands of people annually. Their book provides you with tips and ideas that they use to meet people and that you can immediately put to use.
Writing 55 Profitable Ways To Power Networking, the second book they have done together, came about when they observed people attending networking meetings and events; instead of interacting with new people, individuals gravitated towards people they already knew. The reason people go to networking meetings is to meet and form relationships with new connections but instead many attach themselves to groups they already know. Often, it happens because they are shy or scared to interact with strangers.
“It is hard sometimes for people to move out of their comfort zone”, says Motter. “Many are shy”, says Davidson. The ideas being presented in 55 Profitable Ways To Power Networking are for everyone, even those that are already pros at networking. In the E-book the writers have also included a section on ice-breakers which is very effective in bringing people together in a social or work environment. One of the ice-breakers featured in the book was used at a recent large women small business conference with outstanding success.
June Davidson is the owner of American Seminar Leaders www.asla.com and Coaching Firm International www.coachingfirminternational.com. Both firms are located in Pasadena , CA .
