Discover how to crystalize your brand story in your own words

and unlock a rich mine of impactful, authentic and thoughtfully curated story content you can pull from again and again
You've done the hard work, found confidence, direction, and purpose in your new business.
You've even got a sneaking suspicion that you might be a bit of a badass ;)
But now that you're ready to make your entrepreneurial debut you hit a snag...the meandering path and intuitive actions you took along the way has made it hard for you to articulate that journey into a concise brand story.

YOU KNOW YOUR STORY MATTERS

Purpose-driven brands achieve more than twice the brand-value growth of brands that focus purely on profit generation, and purpose clarity is directly correlated with financial performance. The challenge for brand executives is to lead their organizations in the quest for authentic purpose.

more about me
In the Story Mine Intensive, I provide brand story guidance to entrepreneurs. Helping them to find clarity that amplifies their position and authority so they can make greater impact on their audience.
She helped me refine and clarify key points in my own story that I haven't been able to see myself. She did a really great job of helping me see and find the words to tell my own story rather than simply telling it for me.

I appreciated Jessie Kate’s flexibility and willingness to change her course to accommodate where we were in the process.  She genuinely wanted us to succeed and was always ready to answer questions and help when we got stuck on an assignment.

She not only gave me a structure to follow moving forward for storytelling, she curated bits and pieces of my journey and created a beautiful personal guide I can refer to.

"A FAR-REACHING INVESTMENT"

I was totally stuck when it came to telling my story and how it led to the creation of my business, until I, serendipitously, met Jessie Kate. She is someone with whom it’s very easy to connect and go deep quickly (not a common trait). Her approach to storytelling is equal parts depth and practicality. She has figured out an original (and I dare say genius) process to get to the gem hidden in every twist and turn in life, and to articulate them together in a story that is impactful while staying in full integrity with the truth.

I used to think that you needed to have a particularly wild and adventurous life to “have a story” that people would want to hear, but Jessie Kate showed me that it’s not about how spectacular your experiences may be, but instead about telling it with the right combination of truth and emotion.

You may think that this is an investment in your business but it may end up being an even more far-reaching investment in your relationship with the past versions of yourself that help you get here.
