Svaha: the time between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder
I will be eternally grateful for your great gift of taking in to the fullest extent what it is that I have to offer, living it, and then reflecting it back in terms of the potential experience of others. You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer, which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen, The Remembering Room, Richmond, Illinois

I have a website I’m proud of — but for me, the hugest benefit has been increased self-confidence. Because of the process we went through, and the validity that came with the process, I trust what I think and I trust myself to speak about it. I have greater confidence and clarity in my message about who I am and what I do. — Bev Dwane AICI CIP, www.bevdwane.com, Durham, North Carolina

You’ve built such integrity of message in your company. I know that’s because it springs forth intrinsically, but you stay so focused at your core! I can’t think of a better way to phrase that laser-beam focus you have. It’s funny, because in someone else, laser-beam focus would be intense, but somehow you manage to make it much more kind and easy. — Jessica Albon, Thrive Your Tribe, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
I’ve never worked with anybody in the way that I’ve worked with you in terms of trusting in your abilities to the level that I have. — Catherine Hajnal PhD, Eight Branches Consulting, Vancouver, Canada ... facilitating and nurturing joyful living

You bring both a spiritual perspective and some real-world hard-headedness. — Janet Bailey, Mindful Time Management, San Francisco, California
Brava! I wish I could draw a picture of me — you’d see me in a deep bow to you!
I read your newsletter as soon as it hits my in-box and you’re always right on with your advice. I had to let you know that this issue is particularly brilliant.
I will definitely keep this info — and your contact info — in a secure place.

You have a real calling for your work. This business you’re building is important. Deeply important. You know you make a difference.
But the words aren’t there.
Maybe you wrestle with how to explain what you do — your core message.
You might be creating a new website, or updating the one you’ve had out there for a while.
Or maybe you have concepts, tools, techniques, amazing ideas that you want to give to your customers in articles, books, workbooks, teaching materials.
Words that make you happy when you use them.
Words that make your customers ask, “How do I sign up?”
I help my clients get in touch with the truest essence of what they do — and I reflect that essence back to them in writing.
Together, we explore your business and discover the real value and power of your work — the things you do that make the most difference to your customers.
And we create website and marketing copy, articles, books — whatever written material you need to bring your business into the world and forge powerful connections with your best clients.
When you use your own words — words that resonate with who you are and with what your customer wants and needs — talking about what you do becomes easy and fun.
And you’re freed, sometimes in surprising ways, to tackle challenges in your business that may have been holding you back for a long time.

They’re filled with ideas and suggestions for getting in touch with your business, yourself, and your clients — and ways to learn exactly what your prospective customers most need to hear from you in order to say yes to working with you.
It comes with the informative e-booklet Your Website and You: Frequently Asked Questions, Frequently Blurted “Buts,” and Frequent Stumbling Blocks — a useful look into the ways your website can support your business, or trip you up.
