I knew that I wanted to build my “professional brand” in order to build my business. Learning from the speakers and other women in the Power Pack Project helped me to gain confidence and better yet, write more magazine articles and launch an online webinar series which has contributed to attracting clients that align with our approach and values as they are connecting to the content and experiences we are delivering.
— Andrea Hansen, Benefits Advisor at Sutton Benefits & Pension

My position requires me to be a leader and speak in front of groups of people. I also have some ideas about managing people and organizational culture that I think can make people’s work experience better. The Power Pack Project gave me the skills and insights I needed to feel confident and I’m so happy with my new life direction.

A Few Questions...
I have travel/ work plans during one of the sessions. What happens if I have to miss a module?
We will record the session and share it with you, although, of course, we would prefer for you to attend in real life.
How do I stream the live training sessions?
We are using Zoom to deliver this presentation. Once you pay, you’ll receive information on how to access the platform.
Are the media spots guaranteed?
Unfortunately, there are parts of this process that are out of my control (I can't MAKE your ideal media stations/ newsletters interview you, although that would be nice) :). However, we are going to put all of the right processes and pitches in place so that you have the best chance of being profiled.
Still on the fence? Contact us to see if this is the right fit!
