get coaching to tell better stories

Learn to Create Your Best Digital Stories

Just because you’re a small business owner (without the budget for a full-fledged marketing department), doesn’t mean you have to sound like one.

If you’re not comfortable with storytelling; or the idea of writing (and re-writing) your website copy gives you a headache, it’s perfectly acceptable to hire a professional. There are lots of talented writers and videographers out there I can refer your way.

But if you really want to get past all that, you might want to consider hiring a storytelling coach. (Me.)

Wouldn’t you love to be able to tell your stories and share your message in ways that you felt proud of? Even better, wouldn’t it be fabulous if your website did some heavy lifting and actually sold your products or services?

The good news is that it can — once you find your groove.

When you work with me, you get a finished product that is authentically you and speaks to the heart of your target audience. The best part is: you learn what to do so that the next time you need some fabulous marketing copy, you’re not stumped by a blank page.

 

Here’s how we’ll work together:

  1. You get homework right off the bat. You’ll answer 5 questions that become YOUR Starter Recipe (the pieces you’ll need for ALL your storytelling adventures).
  2. You and I have a 30-45 min phone call about the homework and your business goals. This clarity helps you with Step 3…
  3. You write a letter to your ideal client using your starter recipe. When we have that nailed down, we’ll move on to actual copy and content for your website.
  4. You choose five pages, posts or other content (like 1 minute video messages) that you want to work on with me. These could be for your About page, product and service pages, blog posts and/or sales pages.
  5. Together, we’ll craft an editorial plan and calendar to guide your work long after we’re done.
  6. You write the first draft of each of those 5 priority pieces and share them with me via Google Docs (we’ll tackle one at a time).
  7. I’ll make line-by-line suggested edits and comments directly on your copy. We will do this back and forth until we both feel like it’s “done.”
  8. You put that copy or blog post ON your website and I take one last look. I’ll give you feedback on layout and formatting so that it looks as beautiful as it sounds.

BurgerLisa-Round“I had doubts about my ability to write in my own voice and connect with audience.”

It’s weird, because I know that I’m an above-average writer. I wrote many essays and research papers in college and always did well. So it wasn’t writing in general that scared me. It was writing in a style I wasn’t used to. I had absolutely no confidence there. I would highly recommend this, if you’re struggling with consistency or feeling shy about your writing. It’s “forced” me to get out of my comfort zone. I’ve learned and accepted that my style is okay! I’ve gotten so much out of this process that I’ve enrolled for a second round.

“You’ve really helped me to see…

some of my not so good writing habits (that are easily changed). I met my goal for enrollment in my summer classes and, I believe, that’s in large part due to the changes on my sales pages. I hope we’ll work together again sometime. Thanks so much, Tea!

“It’s been an education on so many levels.”

Under Tea’s masterful guidance I can say I’m more confident and gaining some momentum. Let’s face it the Blog-o-sphere can be a scary place. Her keen eye for words and aesthetics are a powerful combination and make it fun along the way. Last but not least, opening up my Inbox in the morning to an edited copy of something I wrote felt like my birthday and receiving a huge box wrapped with a beautiful bow.
