This seven-session course — which is based on 30 years of experience and has been taught since 2012 to leaders from The Walt Disney Co., Citi, Kroll, top book and magazine publishers, legal firms, wellness brands, job-seekers, and others — will help you clarify your business proposition and provide a strategy to accomplish it. You’ll get the know-how and tools to set your results-oriented business strategy in motion. Each session features a learning component with theory and best practices, exercises to accomplish key steps in crafting strategy and executing tactics, and discussion of your situation. Assignments between each session enable you to get real work done to establish your business identity, digital footprint, and audience outreach and engagement.

Note: This business strategy course teaches a holistic approach of online and offline methods. Today’s mass medium is the Internet, and Google is the gatekeeper. This course is not right for someone who is not using digital means to connect with their target audience.  All content shared will be held in mutual confidence.

Format
● Seven weekly live video conference calls plus assignments between sessions. Duration of calls ranges from 60 to 75 minutes, depending on the number of participants.
● Personalized experience: The course is always tailored to the participants; for non-private courses, each participant gets an additional one hour of dedicated time with the instructor, which may be divided into three 20-minute conversations.
● Equipment: Participants must have a laptop or desktop computer to use during the class; a phone or tablet does not offer the same functionality or viewing experience.
● Readiness: Participants must already be established as professionals (earning money for their products and/or services) and have a website and at least a basic understanding of social media.

Commitment

Participants must be willing to actively engage in the live video calls and between the calls to action the strategy work. The course may be taken privately (one-on-one) for full personalized attention or share with others, which balances personalization with affordability. The costs ranges from $1,500 per participant for a small group to $4,000 for a private course. If an employee of a corporation (1,000+ employees) is sponsored by their company for a private course, the rate is $5,000.
