The Problem

You left a job where the title did the selling.

Now people read your profile, tell you it’s impressive, and still don’t call. Your referrals carried you at first, and now they’re slowing down. You know you’re good at what you do. The market just can’t tell yet.

Your skills aren’t the problem. The people you want to work with just don’t see yet that you’re the one who can solve their problem. That’s where we start.

What Makes This Different?

Most former executives describe themselves by their old title: marketing consultant, operations advisor, finance leader. So do thousands of others.

We start somewhere else: what people actually came to you for when something was on fire. That’s what your future clients will hire you for, and it’s what makes you the obvious call.

How It Works

01.

Book and pay

Pick a time that works for you.

02.

Complete a short questionnaire

It takes about 20 minutes and gives me what I need to make our hour count. Please send it back at least 48 hours before we meet.

03.

We meet for 60 minutes

We work on your business together.

04.

We refine by email

One round of follow-up to sharpen what we built together.

What You Leave With

  • Words clients understand. A clear statement of who you help and why they should call you.

  • A profile that starts conversations. Specific changes to your LinkedIn headline, About section, and Featured section.

  • Your next three moves. A short, prioritized plan you can start this week.

Is This For You?

This session is for you if:

  • You left corporate in the last three years, or you’re planning your exit.

  • You’re building a consulting or advisory practice, and you want clients, not another job.

  • You’d rather start with one focused hour than commit to a long engagement.

It’s probably not for you if you’re looking for a new corporate role, or if you want someone to build your marketing for you. (For that, see Website Redesign.)

Who You'll Work With

I’m Michelle Maldonado. I spent 25+ years leading brand and marketing work for Fortune 500 companies, then made the same leap you’re making. I know what it’s like to go from a title that opened doors to building a practice where your name has to.

FAQs

Is this a sales call?

No. We spend the hour working, and you leave with something you can use right away.

What if I’m still in my corporate role?

That’s a great time to start. Many people book while they plan their exit.

Do I need a website or a business name first?

No. Most people book before they have either.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. You can reschedule once, free of charge, up to 48 hours before your session. If you cancel 48 hours or more ahead, you’ll get a full refund. Within 48 hours, refunds aren’t available, but you can move your session to another time within the next 60 days. If I ever need to reschedule, you choose: a new time or a full refund.
