August CEO Corner Newsletter

Hi Everyone! 

My team and I wrapped up a full mid-year business and branding review, and the results have me beyond excited. We’re making major moves to help you hit your goals faster, and here’s what’s changing:

Saying Goodbye to “Webinar Wednesdays” — And Saying Hello to Deeper Learning
 For over 2 years, my Wednesday Webinars have drawn 170–800+ attendees weekly, tackling your toughest business and branding questions. But let’s be real — life gets busy, and even though you love the sessions, many of you can’t keep up.

So here’s the shift: instead of weekly quick hits, I’m going all in on in-depth, high-impact sessions 1–2 times a month. More value. More depth. More results.

In the meantime, binge my Top 10 Webinars of All Time (save these — they’re gold):

Yes, it’s finally happening. A behind-the-scenes, unfiltered look into my world — the strategies, challenges, and shifts that keep me ahead in today’s business climate. I want your input: What topics should I tackle first? Hit reply and tell me.

We’re also accelerating big projects, onboarding new corporate partners, and setting the stage for a massive second half of the year. 

“Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.” ― C. JoyBell C.

Transitions are hard but necessary for growth. So here are 3 new takeaways that I hope brings you insight if you too are going through a major transition.

Stop pushing unrealistic timelines. There is a quote that surfaced online “The authentic path may take you longer but your impact will be legendary” and that hit home for me. Everyone is pretending like they are living their best lives on social media with shortcuts and gimmicks but deep down many are insecure, unhappy and not truly promoting realistic depictions of their lives. I hope you find comfort in knowing that everything that is meant for you will come if you maintain your resilience, passion and pursuit. Go at the pace that suits you best, not what others say it should take. 

Don’t assimilate. I’m finding that too many creators, entrepreneurs and influencers in this generation are becoming too homogenous. It feels like the same play but different place. Don’t conform. I realize even in building bridges with new cultures and new environments you can’t lose yourself in the process. Bring all of you to the table in its purest form. Believe me, authenticity is so rare these days that when you show up as yourself, it’s like a breath of fresh air. 

Experiment without permission. Even with 10 years of experience under my belt as an entrepreneur and one with multiple global accolades, iconic clients and career breaking successes, I am still trying new approaches that require me to be humble and start from scratch. I am not a “what if” person. “Why not” is my motto and I take every chance I can to try new things because I know it’s in those bold steps that I discover new parts of myself. So do the hard things with no hesitation. If you fall hard on your face then so be it. The other side of trying can be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for. 

Let me know if you feel the same.

I would love to hear from you. Stay in power.
Best,

Christine
