A four-step process to amplify your message with authenticity for greater impact

Live online business strategy course 

massage and reflexology are among holistic therapies

Seekers wishing to connect mind, body and spirit through authentic experiences are looking for practitioners, products and services that suit their distinct needs, preferences and values. As a wellness professional, it can be overwhelming, exhausting and confusing trying to distinguish your unique attributes and proposition to them. It’s doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to sell your soul to sell yourself. And your potential customers and clients are not your only audience who can attract the opportunities you seek. In this course, you’ll learn how positioning yourself with authenticity will enable you to achieve greater impact ~ for your business and your clients ~ and you’ll craft your step-by-step strategic roadmap to do so.

Since 2012, participants in the course have raved about how it helped them turn their vision, mission and values into an actionable plan based on their precious resources of time, money and energy.

Are you next?

Professionals in the wellness and wellbeing sector who want to learn how to raise their visibility to achieve business objectives — and do the work. Today every individual needs to be discoverable and findable on the Internet because a Google search is the gateway to verification and credibility.

Business is about people, and outsourcing your identity, promotion and relationship-building to someone else can compromise the sense of authenticity surrounding your image online, and possibly damage your integrity.

Whether you are a holistic practitioner, a therapist or coach, a shop owner, a festival organiser, or another health or wellbeing professional, this course will help you create a tailored plan and the tactical know-how to achieve your business objectives through strategic communications. This is not just a marketing or branding course.

This course is right for you if you:

  • Love what you do and want to have greater positive impact
  • Strive to distinguish your brand from competitors by positioning yourself uniquely
  • Wish to connect with your ideal clients who may not know about you yet
  • Need a clear strategy that makes the most of your resources (time, money, energy)
  • Are ready to take your business to the next level by actively participating in this course

And you may have experienced:

  • overwhelm with all the potential directions your business could take, wondering which is the right option at what point
  • confusion with all the marketing hype being promoted with webinars and how-to articles
  • frustration that the time you spend on social media and other promotions aren’t getting results

Previously known as Social Media Boot Camp, this course has been renamed to reflect the holistic approach to achieving your business objectives. Social media is a power tool in your tool shed, but you can’t build a house with it alone and without a blueprint. This course will make sure you’ve got a solid foundation upon which to expand your business and welcome customers, partners, clients, and colleagues.

This eight-session course provides you with the know-how and tools to set your results-oriented business strategy in motion. Each session features a learning component with theory and best practices, exercises to accomplish key steps in crafting strategy and executing tactics, and discussion of your situation. Assignments between each session enable you to get real work done to establish your business identity, digital footprint, and audience outreach and engagement.

By the end of the course, you will have gained clarity on the running of your business, elevated your own confidence, and taken your business to the next level through:

  • a solid research-backed plan to grow your business
  • a clear definitive brand identity and story
  • a discipline to track your progress
  • a foundation to position yourself as a thought leader
  • a method to manage social media in 10 minutes a day

Format: Eight weekly live video conference calls (60 to 90 minutes), plus homework assignments that may range in time from 15 minutes to one hour. You can choose Private (one-on-one), Semi-Private (two participants) or Group format (3-12 participants). In all cases, content and guidance are tailored to the participant(s). There are advantages to all formats: Fewer participants means more personalization, and more participants brings richer discussion.

One-on-one consultation: For Private and Semi-Private formats, the eighth session is one hour of dedicated time with the instructor over the course of the seven classes or up to one month after the course ends; that hour may be divided into two 30-minute conversations. For Group format, each participant gets a 20-minute one-on-one at the end of the course.

Equipment: Participants must have a laptop or desktop computer to use during the class; a phone or tablet does not offer the same functionality or viewing experience.

Readiness: Participants must already be established as professionals (earning money for their products and/or services) and have a website and/or social media profile(s). Today’s mass medium is the Internet, and Google is the gatekeeper. This course is not right for someone who is not using digital means to connect with their target audience. This course teaches a holistic approach of online and offline methods.

Timing: The next course begins January 2023. Exact timing of the weekly sessions will be determined by consensus of participants. Indicate your interest now.

Investment: Depends on the number of participants.
Private: £3,900 / $5,000
Semi-Private (2 people): £1,850 / $2,400
Group (3-12 people): £999 / $1,300 per person.
