Need someone to talk about branding, establishing yourself, or growing without marketing madness (or social media!)
I'd love to help. Reach me for interviews, comments, and more on empowerment, branding, running a service business + entrepreneurship.
I love sharing WAR STORIES & best practices on...
• How to establish yourself as a coach, consultant, or service business owner without social media | How to create a business out of what you love, and how to run it both passionately and profitably without living on social media 24/7
• Story-Led, Authentic Branding | How to discover and leverage the best angles of your brand story and why your creative job title may be costing your clients
• Changing Careers, Permission and Purpose | How to switching careers, face failure, and more stemming from why I quit a dream job at Disney
