Welcome to another episode where we spotlight female experts, founders, and entrepreneurs who are building their visibility, personal brands and thought leadership.
Today, I'm highlighting one of my clients, Tanya Windman, who shares her journey of leaving corporate to launch her new consultancy, Windy & Co.
Like Tanya, you may be interested in launching your business or pursuing your creative endeavors, but what path should you take? With so many interests, ideas, and possibilities, how do you know what lights you up, what's most needed, and how to attract clients?
Tanya faced these questions, and this episode details her journey and our work together. From our 'scientific' approach to uncovering your "golden thread" to Tanya's personal evolution framework to her brilliant "creative sandbox system," we share her story and how she attracted clients in her testing mode.Finding clarity and fulfillment is beautiful, but action is your best strategy and system. This is an empowering and actionable episode, especially for my emerging entrepreneurs.
