Event description

Connect with other bold, talented entrepreneurs in the South Sound to share your passion story and create a simple, compelling bio for marketing, PR, & branding purposes. We'll support each other in honing these stories in a FUN, creative forum. Bring your current bio (if you have one) and marketing materials/messages, as well as others' that you like. I'll bring my video camera and laptop for those who want to courageously experiment with a video bio and get supportive feedback.

Takeaways:

  • A clearer, more focused approach to sharing your entrepreneurial story.

  • Answers to the questions: Who am I? What do I do and why? What key benefits do I provide to my clients?

  • A turnkey format and tips for creating a fabulous bio for a variety of uses.

  • Tips and feedback for a video version of your bio (if you wish).

  • Low-key, low-pressure networking at a great location that sells good food and beverages.

As facilitator, I share over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and groups in successfully launching new businesses, programs, products, and services. My passions and specialties are marketing, branding, social media, and new product & service development.

    Sue:

    Such a good idea! I have enormous difficulty selling myself and finding answers to these questions about who I am and what I can offer. This should be good for me, if uncomfortable.

    See you there Maggie, and please help spread the word that creating a great story/bio is simple, if not easy!

    Awesome! You're the PR lady. Thanks. I opened up some more slots. The Commencement Bay holds a large group, yet I really want to allow for some focused, engaging discussions here.

    Sorry, can't squeeze in Tacoma that day. I am such a Sue fan that normally I would go anywhere.

    Thanks for hosting this event. I learned a bit more about myself, and will have a better bio because of it.
