"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou's
Branding is not a logo, a product, or a website. But instead, it's what people say about you and your business when you're not in the room, how people feel when they buy your products or your services, and how your business deals with bad situations- Perception is reality in branding.
Here are three vital branding ingredients.
1. Your Mission
This is not the long mambo jumbo that nobody ever reads and fully understands what the business is set out to do. But instead, it is how you want people to leave feeling after they experience your product or service.
Fill in the blanks. I want to leave people feeling ___________ and ____________.
2. Your Promise
Your brand promise is something people can count on, depend on, and will pay more.
Ideal Clients Biggest Problems What Are You Really Good At
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
3. Your X-Factor
This is what makes you the #1 choice. What makes you stand out? Uncover your X-Factor.
These are the ingredients that a customer or client will say "I would be a fool to do business with anyone else but you, regardless of price!
So how do you stay on top of someone's mind or brighten someone's day?

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Event Name:Unconscious Bias Training
Description:This will be an interactive session that combines lecture with hands on activities designed to help individuals connect cognitively and emotionally with the content. The trainer specializes in a humanistic approach to teaching unconscious bias that allows participants to explore in a learning environment that fosters self-discovery rather than defensiveness. We will define unconscious bias and discuss the neuroscience related to it. We will look at the many ways it manifests from selection bias, to value attribution to group think. Finally, we will focus on strategies for mitigating deeply ingrained stereotyping both at the individual and institutional levels.
