Do you have a big idea? Trying to breathe life into it alone can be a daunting task. Maybe you’re pivoting your business and you’re not sure what to do next, maybe you’re an entrepreneur that feels alone and you want to enhance your network of peers, maybe you’re launching a new service offering, writing a book, overhauling your marketing initiatives or any other number of things, figuring everything out alone isn’t the way to go.

Idea Climbing can bring your big ideas to life by collaborating with your existing network while expanding your network and reaching new people to collaborate with.

Listen to this interview explaining the Idea Climbing origin story

Here are Three Components of Idea Climbing

That You Will Get and Give Through Interactive Events and Interview Content.

ADVICE

This is EXPERIENTIAL advice, not opinions, not being told what to do.

It’s sharing stories about how someone else solved a problem similar to yours to give you ideas for solutions and vice versa.

SUPPORT

This is more than just a pat on the back or saying “good job”.

Support is a validation of your ideas and letting you know that you’re on the right track OR letting you know that you might be moving in the wrong direction and giving you support to change your direction.

CONNECTIONS

Business is all about who you know and who knows YOU. Idea Climbing® is all about who you can help and who can help you.

New connections are the key to new ideas and combinations of ideas that help you climb higher than you ever could alone.

How Can We Work Together?

Idea Climbing® gives you a methodology and system to use in the following areas, each offering is customized to best suit your needs:

Sizzle Reels

Do you need videos for your website and marketing initiatives but aren’t comfortable on camera or don’t want to write, memorize and deliver a script into a camera alone? Enter Sizzle Reels!

I’ll give you a crash course in media training (how to be a good interviewee). Then we’ll record a 20 minute video interview with you in a state of the art online studio. You’ll get two two-minute “Sizzle Reels” (one about you, one about your business). The videos will help increase your conversion rates and level up your marketing outreach while increasing your brand recognition.

All in less than an hour.
