FRESH THREADS

The Red Thread Workshop

Does one of these sound like you?

  • You’re an author looking to pull your ideas together into a single concept for your next book
  • You’re a founder that needs a better way to quickly explain, in plain English, your start-up’s big idea
  • You’re an individual or solo entrepreneur looking to use the power of storytelling to talk about yourself in a more engaging way

If you’ve been curious about taking a deeper dive into learning about how to use the Red Thread, but aren’t quite ready for one-on-one consulting, I invite you to join your peers and me in these special laser-focused-topic Red Thread Workshops.

This workshop is designed to not only deliver an overview of components that make up your Red Thread but also give you the tools and structure that can make sure your message not only stands out—but is built to last.
