SHE SUITE ROUNDTABLE
Leverage my 27+ years of experience at the top of some of the biggest media empires in the country and my 13 years owning a global storytelling agency to refine your message in a group setting.
What Clients are Saying about the SheSuite Roundtable
You are working on a message, but need to refine.
You will leave this roundtable with:
• The clarity you need to 'punch' through
• An arsenal of scripts you can use in 'real time' to push back or advocate for yourself
• Command a negotiation
I had a client who was 40+ years old (female) and interviewing for jobs
She interviewed and interviewed, but just couldn’t get past the 1st round. She had been out of work for some time and the lack of success was weighing on her.
We started work together and I shared a framework for storytelling.
PROMISE OF HER TALK
STORY THAT SUPPORTS IT
3 THINGS SHE LEARNED AS A RESULT
In the first 3 weeks, she stayed high level, never injected much of herself or her own stories into her talk. She narrated the safe stories. We weren’t learning much about HER.
I encouraged her to share a personal story.
“Remember, YOU ARE THE MOST unique thing you bring to the table.”
Something shifted in week 4.
She came to class and shared a story of a time she was rendered homeless.
Her parents owned a motel. The family also stayed on premise. Through a series of unfortunate events, her parents lost the property, leaving her and her sibling homeless. She told a heart breaking story of what the following days and weeks were like.
Trying to go to school.
Trying to put food on the table.
Trying for stability.
She had never spoken of this experience aloud. To anyone.
For the first time in class, she was sharing.
Her biggest takeaway from that trying time in her teenage life was this: She didn’t want charity.
When someone is compromised for basic things such as a home, all a person wants is —options.
You could hear a pin drop. The silence was deafening.
I was so proud of her. She had finally gone there.
In the subsequent days, something shifted in her. She started to make it through round 2 of job interviews.
Weeks later, she shared an update:
“Joya! I got a job. It’s for a 15 % pay bump over my last position.”
The drought had ended.
I congratulated her and asked “What do you attribute to landing the job?”
Because of the personal storytelling in class, I started showing up authentically in interviews.
Because of class, I had gained the confidence to ask for next steps before an interview concluded.
Because of class, what I wanted at the beginning wasn’t what I wanted by the end.
Visualize yourself telling stories that are so compelling that your calendar is booked with clients who want to work with you.
Or want to hire you to host a workshop.
Now let's say you don't learn the above way ---at all
1:1 Coaching
We sign a 3 month agreement. You and I have a standing 'date' each week on the calendar to move the needle on your goal. I give you homework in between .
Outcomes you can expect:
When she became Director, she needed to create more 'strategic thinking' blocks of time and not operate like a front line operator. She needed scripts and language to say 'no' and preserve the relationship. She successfully implemented technology to cut the rate of vacancies for land lords.
She always said 'no' to live television interviews. She wanted to say 'yes.' We worked on the answers to the 6 top questions she got asked, including "Do only football players see sports medicine physicians?" We filmed them at a television studio. She said, 'yes' to her first live tv interview and even started getting clients from videos on social media.
He was sitting on a supper club concept for three years. His clients were begging him to do better storytelling. We worked on it and hosted his first supper club. He told me this year, "I already made the money I invested in you back. You have a very clear vision of where you want to take someone." We also filmed his interviews in a pro studio for social media. Read his case study below:
