Women in Business
Featuring women business owners in Prescott.
Finding the Perfect Place to Live & Work
Prescott Woman Magazine sat down with Tracey Horn, President of Helken & Horn Advertising Agency and a member of the Prescott Downtown Partnership (PDP), to find out what she enjoys most about living and working in Prescott.
‘We Opened the Doors Just for Them’
Prescott Woman Magazine interviewed Terri Harrington, owner of SMARTgirls Resale Fashion and member of the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce. We learned about how much she values giving back to the community.
‘Lifting Each Other Up’
Prescott Woman Magazine chatted with Jess Costa, owner of FreedomCore Pilates and a member of the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce, to find out what makes her enjoy this area and everything it has to offer.
Building Positive Relationships
In her role as Vice President of Marketing & Public Relations for Ponderosa Hotel Management Services, LLC (PHMS), Margo Christensen works on marketing, advertising, public relations, and media. Her goal: to build and foster positive relationships.
Networking and community involvement, then, are priorities, and she’s able to pursue those in part through her participation in the Prescott Downtown Partnership (PDP).
Everybody’s Hometown Friend
Leza has been on the air with a variety of Prescott-area radio stations and a TV station since 1993, taking only five years off to raise her two girls Dempsey and Delaney while her husband Scott held down the fort at Prescott Glass and Mirror. So it’s no wonder people recognize Leza by voice alone.
Brewing Up a Future in Prescott’s Craft Beer Community
Since opening in September 2019, LazyG Brewhouse continues to check all the boxes as a “Prescott go-to” for locals and newcomers alike. From the outdoor pet-friendly patio park with entertainment stage, to subtle nods to family and brewery location history scattered throughout the venue, owners Jean-Marie Bellington and her husband Jim have redefined the brewing industry in Prescott and continue to pave the way to increase the level of awareness of the brewing profession.
‘Welcoming, Warm, Fun, and Friendly’
Prescott Woman Magazine interviewed Cori King, Human Resource & Recruiting Manager for Findlay Automotive Group – Prescott Campus, and member of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. We learned about how much she values personal connections.
The Synergy of Women Coming Together
Local business owners Cecilia Lookingback and Candace Devine believe that when women come together, authentically, they can achieve powerful results.
Since the two met, they have cross collaborated on many projects, sponsoring and promoting each other’s brands. The latest example of that: their brands will work together during the Pure Imagination Festival on May 20 in Prescott, alongside a lineup of other local businesses and partners.
The relationship Cecilia and Candace have developed is about an even bigger movement: women empowering women. Candace said she’d love to see businesses cross collaborate on a larger scale, choosing female-led partners to support one another.
‘I Show People How Powerful They Are’
Leanne Shearer believes she’s exactly where she is supposed to be, doing what she’s supposed to do: helping people change the trajectory of their lives.
“I show people how powerful they are,” said the lifestyle coach, who owns Anytime Fitness with her husband, “and how much information they have in their own bodies to find answers to perplexing challenges.”
To deliver her message to a broader audience, this past fall Leanne launched Undone + Uncensored, “a no-BS podcast that unravels life’s most complex issues.”
Creating Generations of Memories
Prescott Woman Magazine chatted with Rebecca Horniman, the Operations Officer for Talking Glass Media, a Fain Signature Group, and a member of the Prescott Downtown Partnership, to find out what makes her enjoy Prescott and everything it has to offer.
Nurturing the Lifeblood of the Community
Prescott Woman Magazine interviewed Linda Thein, Integrated Media Consultant at Great Circle Media and member of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. We learned about how much she values family, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
‘It’s Been Amazing’
Fallon’s Down Home Vintage, which opened on Gurley Street in 2021 and moved to a new location this month, at the corner of Granite and Willis Streets downtown (at 225 W. Willis). This spot, which Fallon called the store’s “forever home,” offers 4,000 square feet of space (almost doubling the store’s size). Through Fallon’s Down Home Vintage, Fallon and 10 other local women offer a collection of new, repurposed, and handmade items.
