It Starts with Strategy:
“In a world of constant change, strategy isn’t about standing still—it’s about knowing where to move next.”
It Starts with Strategy is a high-energy, interactive (and yes, fun) workshop designed for entrepreneurs who speak, train, consult, or coach as part of how they deliver value. This isn’t about stagecraft—it’s about building a business that’s focused, intentional, and built to last.
Through practical tools, real-time reflection, and story-driven insights, you’ll get clear on where to focus, what sets you apart, and how to align your work with the impact you’re here to make. You’ll leave with sharper positioning, renewed momentum, and a workbook full of actionable tools to take your next strategic steps—right away.
Because speaking is a business.
