In a digital first world, sharing your message is easy. Standing out with clarity and purpose is the real challenge.

Join Allison Turner, Owner and CEO of BatCat Media Group, for a focused session on aligning your personal brand, marketing, and offer so people quickly understand who you are, what you stand for, and how you help.

Allison will introduce the B.R.A.N.D. method, a practical framework designed to turn visibility into trust, leads, and sales through purpose driven messaging, authentic storytelling, and meaningful networking.

This session is ideal for speakers who want their talks to lead to real opportunities, entrepreneurs and service providers who feel their message is unclear, and anyone building credibility online who wants a simpler path from attention to trust to action.

You will walk away with:
• A clear way to communicate your value
• A simple structure for building a strong personal brand
• Practical steps to turn visibility into inquiries and referrals

If you are ready to share your message with greater clarity and confidence, this conversation will give you a powerful starting point.

The Grand Speakers Group is a place for speakers to connect, learn from each other and collaborate.

Join Lona Fink & Michelle Leway who have decades of experience as speakers and trainers, as your hosts for this monthly networking meeting to gain inspiration, relationships, and proven advice to help you make your greatest contribution to the world.

You’ll benefit from focused networking breakout rooms and open, safe group conversations to gain insight and inspiration to grow your brand and business through speaking.
