Our values

Ready To Grow Your
Clientele & INFLUENCE?

Thought Leadership

Thought leadership is earned through establishing authority and exists in a few different flavors. I have a process to help recognize where you shine so we can focus your content creation, marketing strategy, and technology to capitalize on your genius. Using your authority base appropriately leads to deserved influence, sustainability, well-crafted marketing and messaging. Get off the social media hamster wheel and wield your expertise on your own terms. Sound refreshing?

Influence

Yes, it's true. You can be authentic, smart, and genuinely you - and have influence! Maybe it's charisma? Maybe it's know-how? Sometimes it's an undefinable je ne sais quoi that surprises even yourself. People hang on your words. Think about your thoughts. They also want to know what you made for dinner and see pictures of your pet! You can collaborate, do endorsements and be endorsed without being scummy. I promise.

Persuasion

2,300 years ago Aristotle defined the "Pillars of Persuasion" and you'll be surprised how we'll use them today. Persuasion is an all-encompassing tactic for building a community of people who actively seek your offers - and buy what you are selling! Whether your current list is your mom and your aunt or 41,000 strong - let's strategize and start something.
