So that's the important question here. How well are you monitoring your own brand pulse? Are you paying attention to those invisible clues that are telling a story about who you are and what you do?
Because even in today’s over-saturated landscape, people can intuitively tell whether your lights are ON or OFF. They can intuitively interpret whether you’re communicating you are who you say you are. (Or not.)
It takes a certain kind of creative courage to pay attention to how you show up and share your brand narrative. It takes mastering your own inner environment, pulling back the layers and looking closely at what you do, why you do it, why it matters __ and why anyone should give a damn.
People want to feel they can trust you.
Imagine a world where your brand pulse is showing strong, vital signs. Imagine people hearing your message, picking up on your energy, finding it meaningful and recognizing its value.
That’s a clear signal you’re showing up like you mean it in business –and life. It’s a message that says you’re aware, mindful, and engage from a more transparent and authentic place. It says your energy, language and tone of voice are communicating your intention. This is what creates more trust. What’s more, it beckons people to lean in closer, hearts beating, eyes gleaming.
Imagine the difference it would make in the world if we all communicated from a deep authentic place.
This is about enhancing your Brand EQ.
A vital brand pulse, of course, reflects the degree of emotional intelligence around your business and your own personal brand. It’s a significant reason why people will want to work for you, join your team or buy from you.
More than ever before, emotional intelligence and self-awareness are the 21C meta-skills for creating a compelling brand. It takes courage and the desire to be transparent. FYI People can feel the difference.

"Nimble, imaginative, passionate, curious, truth teller -- all things that elevate a brand engagement with Mary van de Wiel -- from utterly effective to truly fabulous. Van looks at life through the lens of an artist, consultant and philosopher -- and speaks about brands in a similarly dynamic way that is just right for our hectic times."

“Van is without question the most creative, energizing, and brilliant communication, marketing and brand visionary I know. She is able to zero in on on a core message and make it sing. She gets whatever the “point-of-pain” your audience might be experiencing and knows how to speak to it. What’s more, with her uncanny ability to engage, connect and captivate audiences, she invites them to co-create an unforgettable experience. Her visual and highly-individualistic acumen has a flair that captures eye and mind, at the same time. In addition to being highly talented – she’s fun and entirely pleasurable to work with. I love working with her, pure and simple.”
–– Janet Wigfield, Vice President, Executive Director, Conferences + Events, Working Mother Media
What to say about Van? That’s a tall order! Van is a prodigious thinker. One of those rare individuals who can effortlessly fuse creative insight and intuition with razor-edge intellect. Van is as comfortably eloquent with words as she is fluent with the language of visual communication. Succinct, sharp and always sophisticated in everything she does, Van is a true original. In short, I would have no hesitation to recommend her for any creative or branding assignment where big ideas play center stage.

“Van is one of the most energizing and engaging personalities I know. What’s more, as a speaker, interviewer or radio host, it turns out she’s an uncommonly engaging natural storyteller. It’s a gift as rare as it is wonderful. On radio, she was able to zero in and roam around my messy brain, and work so intuitively and empathically – that she extracted insights even I didn’t know were there. I give her stratospheric high points for her business acumen, style and chutzpah. Oh yes, and best of all, her contagious optimism makes her a delight to hang with and I look forward to doing again soon. Like, very soon.
–– Brian Collins, Chairman/CEO, Collins Agency, NY + SF
