Are You Ready to Become The Trusted Voice In The Noise? 

 

Many talented professionals want to make a bigger impact and get their work & their ideas better known. That was certainly how I felt when I left my career in arts & media to launch my consulting & coaching practice in 2014. 

In the intervening years,  I've trained experts and leaders, shared stages with international thought leaders, interviewed hundreds of authors. In November 2023, I published my ninth but first business book on personality branding and thought leadership. 

But when I started, I only knew how to become a successful, recognised and trusted artist and mediaprofessional. 

That's why I researched the process of how leading experts, and thought leaders built their personal brands and their platforms. I invested more than 100K in coaching, training and masterminds, in order to do it for myself - and eventually, so that I could help others do the same. 

Now, I've distilled what I've learned about growing your platform, your business, and your impact into The Brand Builders Program. 

The Brand Builders Program is intended for professionals who believe it would benefit their business or their career to be more widely recognised for their skills and expertise. This hybrid program with live mentoring, coaching and sparring helps you learn how to do that effectively, with the goal of opening up new business and professional opportunities that are genuinely exciting for you.

Because being great at what you do is very different than being well known for what you do.

With The Brand Builders Program, my goal is to help talented professionals get their voices heard, so that the best ideas - not just the loudest voices - are the ones that win.

I'm excited to help you share your best ideas with the world.

 

You are the expert in your field, but

 … 

 

Others respect you for your knowledge and expertise. You have built a serious reputation with this. Now, you want to make a big, bold move in your career. Translate your experiences into an inspiring story that makes an impact. 

Or package your knowledge and expertise into a product or service with which you build a legacy around your expertise. Standing on stage, writing a book, or hosting a podcast show.

You know an audience out there wants to hear what you have to say. You also can't wait to get started. And yet you get stuck. 

If you want to make that big, bold move, you must take action NOW. Become visible as a personal brand. Combine this with a good business strategy, and you are ready to make an impact with your story.

And the great thing is: you don't have to do it alone. Together with my team, I make sure you get comfortable with being visible, and we also help you with tricky tasks like tools, techniques, and posting on social media. 

So nothing is stopping you from making that Big Bold Move.

Go for it.

Take the plunge.

Get out of that golden cage.

Make your expertise your legacy.

We'll discuss your current positioning and your go-to positioning. 
We end by setting goals for the first 90 days. 
In our second (Day 90) and third strategy session (Day 180), we evaluate the progress and set new goals.

Q&A sessions

Every month all Brand Builders gather online to ask questions, and review and discuss each others content.
