LET'S WORK TOGETHER
Life, as we know it, has changed. There's no doubt about that.
That's why daring to walk outside the line, right now,
has never been more important.
Dubbed brand psychologist by Time Inc., my approach is unusual.
Because I help individuals recognize who they are (so others can) and be more daring in their thinking, actions and leadership.
LET'S TALK
I came away from an inspiration call with Van completely
super-charged with my mission. With Van, you’re experiencing branding therapy. Her innocuous questions reveal the answers reaching the core of your work. Then, as an entrepreneur, you move on with your business with clarity.

You can keep skimming
the surface of complacency or you can get 90 minutes of life-changing advice. Make a decision
and make it right.

Just like her promise to zing your brand, Van will spark your creative juices,
draw out your story,
play back your thoughts,
zone in on your essence, and it will be a blast:
A day when time will stand still and your unconscious takes form and meaning
with a clarity so obvious you’ll wonder how you didn’t see it.

READY TO SHOW UP IN BUSINESS? If you're a curious, open-minded professional who wants to focus on daring to reimagine your world, let's recalibrate the way you perceive your brand and your business -- in a way that's more meaningful, relevant and more purposeful to you.
That's what WALKING OUTSIDE THE LINE is all about.
Of course, feeling more exuberant (along the way) makes a big difference. That's the reward of daring to show up. Because it means you're showing up more authentically.

A couple of options include:
•90-MINUTES STRATEGY SESSION
•3-HOUR BRAND CONSULTING INTENSIVE
•COACHING PACKAGE
WHY NOW?
Because I’m talking to many people who are passionate about what they do and they're hopeful about their future BUT they're feeling more compelled to create a more scintillating, more human and more meaningful brand for their business. Starting with a crafting a compelling brand story makes the difference. Starting with daring to be more creative, more playful is the magic piece.
WALK AWAY WITH THESE OUTCOMES
1. Creativity + Storytelling Learn how to tap into your own authentic story about who you are, what you do and why it matters.
2 Brand Behavior Become aware of the extent to which you show up in your business (like you mean it) and how that actually impacts your potential audience.
3 Master of Serious Play Build trust, bring compassion, a heightened sensitivity and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s position. This is about rethinking the tone of your voice.
4 Emotional Intelligence Share your story in a new, provocative way. It’s what helps people connect emotionally with you.
5 Meaning + Purpose Spot the difference between your offering of Intangible vs Tangible deliverables. What’s the difference? It will help explain your WHY.
6 Values Your values shape and define who you are. When you can identify and champion your own values (own, live, breathe them), people feel the difference.
YOU CAN COUNT ON:
IMAGINE: A CAFFEINATED JOLT Imagine a clarified vision around your brand's behavior and business’ undeniable value. A supportive, sophisticated space to plot and play and collaborate. And create a dose of bold storytelling that enhances your brand.
DISCOVER YOUR WHY After all, it’s much more meaningful than WHAT you do or HOW you do it. Because once you know your WHY, you’ll be able to reframe everything you do. PS People will feel the difference. This is about zeroing in on that scintillating spark of yours. It's what gives your brand its own highly-idiosyncratic edge.
KEEPING YOUR CLIENTS AT ARM'S LENGTH/ NOT AN OPTION We'll work on how to communicate that you are who you say you are. After all, people can spot a Dead Brand Walking a mile away, right? The clues" A listless energy. Lights are off. No one's at home.
AMP UP YOUR BRAND'S ENERGY QUOTIENT If it's lacking luster, we'll work out what kind of energy you can bring to the table. This will impact your visibility and credibility factor. We’ll look at what’s working and then, what’s shooting you in the foot. We’ll enhance the emotional intelligence behind your brand (EQ) because people today are longing to connect in a more transparent and authentic way.
THIS IS AN EMBOLDENING STRATEGY
Let's face it: Creating an engaging & irresistible business brand – with a high emotional quotient – has never been more critical. The good news? It's going to be exactly what leads people to want to know you, trust you, hire you and work with you.

Van is a one-off. Her creative energy is awesome. She has great style. But most importantly she really understands what makes brands tick — both on the inside and outside in
the market place.
When we worked together in Sydney, she was way ahead of the game, so it’s no surprise to me that today she is
an acknowledged leader and innovator in the global branding space.
