On 6th November 2023, I received a DM from a lead after leaving a huge client.
They were NOT the right fit. I don't want to get into it, but if you DM me, I might 👀
Anyway, the DM said:
"We hire keynote speakers for community events in California with the aim to make leadership development more accessible. We'd like to see if our services are aligned..."
Well, I was already in love with the idea *dances in inclusivity and accessibility 💃*.
I met their Founder Mariah H. who said she had been following my posts for months before reaching out. She loves my content, copywriting, values, and she was amazed at how I was able to grow Eagles & Pigeons to 19,000 followers and get sponsorships for our newsletter in less than 5 months.
Due to our hectic schedules we only started working together 2 months ago.
Since then, she's run her first virtual event with 5 amazing speakers/published authors and she has already planned her next few physical events.
So, it was an easy YES when she asked me 2 weeks ago to be the Director of Marketing for The Network and share my knowledge and skills with her 🥳🥳🥳🥂
(Yes, I will still be running my businesses Undercoverr Media & Eagles & Pigeons)
However, together, we will work to make leadership development accessible.
We're talking:
- Dinners
- Networking
- Virtual events
- Physical events
- Wellness retreats
And so much more.
I'm so excited to be working on this amazing mission with such a wonderful woman! 🧡
I'll also be taking a few trips to Cali 😍🇺🇸
So, if you made it this far basically the moral of the story is...
1. Don't give up.
2. You don't know who is watching, so keep showing up.
3. The first year is hard, there's no getting around that, embrace the 💩.
You've got this!
🧡
