You’re an Expert. Now It’s Time to Become an Authority.

Build a Personal Brand That Commands Influence & Revenue
You’ve mastered your craft, but without strategic positioning, authority-building, and a system to scale your impact, you’re leaving opportunities on the table. The hybrid program The Authority Builders is designed for experts, consultants, and entrepreneurs who want to elevate their personal brand, attract high-value opportunities, and establish undeniable authority—without becoming a slave on social media or chasing trends.

You need the right answer for your question

Most courses on personal branding focus on teaching one skill. You'll learn how to use LinkedIn, start podcasting, or create videos, and every skill seems to be the one you need to become the extraordinary personal brand you want. 
Unfortunately, these courses lack the bigger picture. 

 You need the bigger picture to decide whether you really want to start podcasting or if podcast guesting is a better strategy. Strategic move with less effort. You also need to know the right stuff when the learning is skill, not master every technical detail.

Building your personal brand, you need to zoom out and zoom in. You need to look ahead and execute now, and that's where the trusted expert comes in.


Master your A.K.A.

Let's put an end in learning new skills without the right strategy and a system.
Practise Awareness, Knowledge and Action. 

#1 Strategy

You need to get clear clarity or your strategy, not once but every time again. On every level, people mistaken strategy for skills and vice versa.

#2 Skills

First define the strategy and then see if you have the skills for it. No need to waste time finding a skill training. It's in your online learning environment.

#3 Systems

You only need skills to a certain level, then it's time to systemize. Save time by choosing the right ones.


Your personal brand should work for you,
not the other way around.

You are a perfect candidate if
  • You're eager to refine or overhaul your approach to align with your vision better. You understand the value of perseverance and consistency in building something made impactful. You're looking for a personalized strategy, acknowledging that success comes from carving out. Or unique path your action oriented, not allowing excuses to hinder your progress. You're proactive about seeking support and resources without facing obstacles.
  • You realize you can not build a personal brand and become an authority if you don't want to create content.  You have important knowledge to share with the world and are willing to write and speak, a lot. Struggle to craft your message? This course is for you too.
  • You want to know the bigger picture so you can make better decision. 
  • You want best of both worlds: a self-paced online course so you can manage your time, but you also nor the value of a peer to peer contact and contact with ianka
Reconsider joining this program if
  • You don't like writing or speaking at all. You prefer to delegate that immediately and just keep up with the Joneses. You only want hacks, tips and tricks.
  • You are looking for a specific training to teach you all about 'how to go viral on LinkedIn or Instagram'
  • You want to rely heavily on your coach, you look for constant feedback, you want your coach to make decisions for you.

  • You expect immediate success upon enrollment without applying the strategies. You're hesitant to engage in the foundational work necessary for branding. You're looking for constant hand holding rather than empowerment to make strategic decisions.

  • You prioritize minor technical questions. Of a strategic brand development, you're looking for a technical manual rather than a comprehensive branding guide.

The Auhtority Builders Hybrid lays out a road map for developing a personal brand that resonates and induces.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to see results?

The speed of results depends on where you are in your personal brand journey. Many clients see a shift in positioning, opportunities, and credibility within weeks, while full authority positioning typically unfolds over a few months as you implement the system consistently.

Do I need a large social media following?

No. The Authority Accelerator is not about social media vanity metrics. Instead, it’s about strategic positioning that attracts high-value clients and opportunities—whether you have 1,000 followers or 100,000.

Will this work for my industry?

If you’re an expert, consultant, entrepreneur, or executive looking to establish thought leadership and premium positioning, this system is designed for you—regardless of industry.

How much time do I need to commit?

Expect to invest a few hours per week implementing the strategies and frameworks. The system is designed for busy professionals who need high-impact, efficient brand-building strategies that don’t consume their entire schedule.

What if I’ve tried personal branding before and it didn’t work?

Most personal branding advice focuses on content volume, algorithm hacking and social media hacks—not on authority positioning, storytelling, and high-value client attraction. The Authority Accelerator shifts the focus to strategic, evergreen influence-building that actually converts into opportunities.
