The Change I Make
Stop paying the Invisibility Tax.
Every day your expertise goes unseen is a day you lose opportunities, revenue, and recognition to someone less qualified—but more visible.
If you’re a speaker, coach, trainer, consultant or author tired of blending in, you’re in the right place: I help you transform from invisible to unmistakable with a proven, strategic visual storytelling formula.
FIRESIDE CHAT TOPICS
Become a Market of One:
The Visual Storytelling Formula
DESCRIPTION:
Transform from Invisible to Unmistakable
You’re not generic—and your online presence shouldn’t be, either. In this session, you’ll discover my signature Visual Storytelling Formula, a three-pillar system to ensure you’re seen, trusted, and remembered:
Curbside Appeal: Immediately signal premium value, authority, and presence with visuals that stop the scroll and spark curiosity.
Instant Credibility: Build trust fast by replacing stale, stock and superficial imagery with compelling, real, and relevant visuals that proves your expertise.
Genuine Uniqueness: Show the human side that makes you irreplaceable—revealing the real you and connecting beyond the Trusted By logos on your site.
YOU’LL LEAVE WITH:
A strategic roadmap to stand out in any crowded market
The confidence to charge premium rates
Clarity on the visual evidence you need to support your business growth
“What if your brand story was so visually compelling… that clients knew you were the right choice, instantly?”
