The BRAND NEW YOU storytelling process is deeply defining and poetically distinctive communication for people who want to REACH deeply to REVEAL their uniquely distinct VOICE that can be heard and elevated in their marketspace.

It is an intimate initiative to help you discover your Uniquely Different Voice and Value through distinct and defining Personal Brand Profiles, borrowed from the successful formula business and product brands use. 

We create your short story in multiple forms, with a personal vocabulary of memorable words and content that is as dynamic and memorable in your marketplace as great brands are in theirs.

We shape and define your unique Story in Communication Content for showcases like LinkedIn Profiles, Social Platforms, Job Applications and Personal Interviews with custom Talking Points and a memorable Short Story in pursuit of your career and personal growth.

Clients 'own' their unique Personal Vocabulary, Story Profile, and Communication Assets that make up a very personal Lexicon with our strategic guidance to apply it everywhere you want it.

We give Voice to Clients with Careers, careers in transit, and Students starting out in theirs. Our work with Personal Clients, and Clients in tandem with Executive Coaches, College Career Centers, and Human Resource Executives, sets them up for confident and memorable job search and work that satisfies.
