Before she became a world-renowned matchmaker, Lisa Clampitt, LMSW, earned her master’s degree in social work and passionately supported the altruistic agendas of nonprofits. She has a big heart, and she started her career by looking for ways to give back to the community. Over time, however, Lisa realized that she was giving back so much that she didn’t have enough left over for herself. Lisa Clampitt founded the Matchmaking Institute to help matchmakers network and learn from one another. Lisa had become a professional matchmaker in 2001, founded the Matchmaking Institute in 2003, and spent over a [...]

The Global Love Conference prides itself on providing a truly holistic approach to helping people find and keep love. It’s not just about sending people out on dates. We have a community committed to building connections and working together to advance the industry, expand individual tools, and foster continued collaboration. In fact, this year we moved the Conference to Punta Cana to include more opportunities for relaxation, recharging, and more time for networking. Matchmaking and dating coaches don’t tend to take time for themselves and more and more research shows the importance of self-care for your life - and business [...]

Every year, when we make plans for our business, there is always focus on client retention, marketing hacks for maximum business growth, and ways to improve the business side of our brand. However, there isn’t as much focus placed on self-care. We may decide back in January that we will make this a priority but right around this time, it tends to take a back seat. The thing is, it may not seem like that big of a deal as a matchmaker or dating coach. You may think you have more flexibility in your day or you love what you [...]

As a matchmaker, your goal is to help people find real love - a lasting relationship that’s fulfilling. But what happens after? Often, once we help people find that perfect match, we don’t always know the best ways to coach them through the beginning stages or how to approach road blocks that come with every relationship. And, even more often, clients may need a little sprucing before they hit the dating scene. Right now, you may currently offer some sort of coaching for your clients. But there is a major problem within the industry and it’s that we naturally give [...]

The highest percentage of divorces are filed in January! Yep. And January is right around the corner. (Gives a whole new meaning to “New Year, New You”, right?) One of the things we teach our students is how to work with recently divorced clients looking to do love differently the second time around. As the New Year approaches, love experts tend to get a surge of recently singled men and women ready to get back in the dating game with intention and support. But many couples will wait til after the holidays to announce a divorce or separation, especially if [...]

We know that the holiday season is one of the best times to connect with family and friends, wear your favorite festive outfit to a party, and drink some eggnog (or insert your favorite December pastimes). It’s also a time of gift giving to let the people we love most know we appreciate them. And when we give gifts, it impacts our overall wellbeing, as well. Increasing production of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin in the brain will - quite literally - boost your mood. One of the easiest ways to get that “happiness high” is by giving to others. But [...]

“You are never too old for love.” While many of us nod in agreement when reading the above statement, Jennifer Hayes is breathing life into it every time she helps someone find their perfect match. It’s the motto and perhaps the driving force behind her successful business. As the recent winner of our #MatchmakersUnite video challenge in honor of National Matchmaker’s Day, Jennifer spoke about helping a 73-year old woman find love again after her husband had passed away. Take a peek at the video here. And it’s this passionate belief in love that makes Jennifer excited to get up [...]

Back in 2015, Forbes posted an article on the “8 Key Tactics for Developing Employees.” One of the tactics stresses the importance of getting connected to a network of key contacts that can help you and your business grow and stay engaged in your career. Forbes writes, “Introduce them [employees] to other professionals that can serve as mentors or coaches, sign them up for professional industry associations, send them to training courses and workshops, and create and attend networking events.” This is important information as a certified matchmaker because, often, after we complete our training or have been in business [...]
