Let’s talk about positioning, as in positioning when it comes to marketing and client delivery.

You may hear in these marking streets that expert positioning is so important. That you have to position yourself as a leader and things like that.

That’s all well and good and I happen to know that my audience my clients don’t love the idea of ‘Expert Positioning’

It feels like posturing or posing or it can have an air of superiority and and thus feel inauthentic – especially if you identify as someone who is heart-lead and soul-centered.

So I’m here to have an introductory talk about what positioning is for you my dear soul-centered entrepreneur and if you find you’d like an even deeper dive we can do the 2.0 version of this conversation.

THAT is what expert positioning can do and that’s really your come from.

It’s about credibility – not for posturing sake but to build trust.
It’s about expert status, not to one-up someone but to justify why they should listen to you

Now, you know one of my super powers is marrying the practical with the ethereal
So now that you have the right mindset that’s backing this whole thing, you next need to know what it all looks like in the real world.
