Author and Motivational Speaker

Are you too caught up in short term tasks, cluttering your communications because you keep adding instead of subtracting? Are you losing sight of your vision? Are you able to tell your story? We are all guilty of this, it’s human nature, but have you taken a step back to assess your business’s impact and your customers’ perception of you? Are you facing confusion or losing customers? Is competition fierce? Let’s collaborate to redefine your vision, gain clarity to build trust, and ensure your business is accurately perceived and valued. Say goodbye to wasted time and misdirected campaigns, and hello to lasting success.

‘…I am so glad I choose to work with you. Our session was so relaxed, you listened and didn’t influence. You guided when necessary and let me talk out loud about so many aspects of my business which I don’t get to share with others, and is so empowering, fulfilling and insightful…’

Sharon Dehmel, Intercultural Leadership Coach

Do You Have Questions?

1. Is your business standing out, or fading?

How do you know where you are going if you do not have your path mapped out? How do you promote and sell your products and services if you do not know why you are doing what you? Do you have a purpose beyond making money, a purpose that matters to your customers? Are you able to tell your story?

2. Are you struggling to build in sustainability?

In a fast evolving market, balancing growth and sustainability is a tough challenge for any business owner. Through a combination of systems thinking and design thinking, I help businesses to build and rebuild with a  sustainable, human centred focus with creative and innovative solutions, ensuring you lead with purpose, authenticity, and a clear, impactful vision.

3. Are you in reactive mode?

Is your business stuck reacting to market shifts, fearful of change, and struggling to move beyond the firefighting mode to a more strategic, sustainable future? Have you lost sight of your vision for the business? I help businesses navigate market shifts calmly and strategically, shifting from firefighting to purposeful growth. I’ll guide you to uncover new opportunities, realign your vision, and empower your team to embrace change with confidence – positioning your brand for long term success.

4. Are you chasing quick fixes to problems?

I’m here to help you step back and realign your business with the vision that made you start this journey in the first place. By blending creative business solutions with sustainable, human centric design, we’ll dig deep into your brand’s purpose, values, and long term goals, to reposition your brand for lasting success, and guiding every decision – so when you do invest in the revenue generating activities of marketing, content creation or PR, these activities be in line with a clear, authentic brand story that resonates with your audience, and amplifies your growth.

5. Do you know how to build trust?

Trust is an emotion, and every communication and interaction with customers is a step towards building trust. As soon as you do or say something that deviates from what you stand for, your audience will reprimand you for it, and are 80% more likely to walk away to your opposition. Staying on brand in every business decision is key to controlling the perception of your brand, and in the subconscious mind of your audience is where you need to influence and build that trust.

6. Are you focussed on products and services?

Are you finding it hard to connect with your audience because you’re focused on products and services instead of the story behind your business? By uncovering your brand’s true purpose and values, we’ll create a compelling narrative that resonates with your audience. Together, we’ll craft messaging that reflects who you are, not just what you sell, and helps you build lasting and emotive connections with your customers. Emotive, because when you attach an emotion to your customer’s experience, they are more likely to remember you.

7. Is your family business in transition?

Are you ready to ensure a smooth transition of your family business to the next generation, preserving its legacy while adapting to the future? Navigating succession can be a difficult time. Your original vision may not be what the next generation sees, and sometimes it is hard to let go of a legacy. I can guide your family to align your brand with the values and vision that have made your business successful, and incorporate the vision of your future leaders. Together, we’ll create a plan that prepares for the future while maintaining the integrity of your brand’s legacy.
