Overview
Today’s guest is Allison Puryear, LCSW, CEDS, and she’s here to talk about a topic that many find full of panic, anxiety, and struggle. We’re talking about the idea of marketing; how do we market in a way that is kind, authentic, and from a place of service? Allison has a great framework for creating marketing strategies that are kind and graceful. I hope you’ll join us for this conversation and take advantage of Allison’s tips for terrific marketing!
What We’ll Learn
- Things we don’t like about marketing and the way it proves that not everyone is authentic
- Reframing the marketing mindset (it doesn’t have to be the used car salesman approach!)
- Helping people realize they can have what they don’t know is even available
- Finding your WHY: What lights you up inside?
- Aligning the internal and external aspects of marketing:
- Choose strategies that align with who you are
- Use your authentic voice as much as possible
- Focus on 1-2 marketing strategies—not 10!

- In addition to the two foundational techniques, consider other strategies that are optional: blogging, SEO, video, podcasting, speaking, workshops, and social media
