No matter how big or small your business, knowing the answer to a few key questions makes the difference between unencumbered growth and deadwood.
Who Are You? What are you making? What does it mean to you? Why does it matter?
People don’t connect to stuff they connect to people. Entrepreneurs who feel solid in authentically answering these questions aren’t selling themselves — they’re being themselves, elevating their business to an art form. Other team members who can answer these same questions become leaders with skin in the game who know their voice matters.
When every detail of your business is consistently telling the same story — one centered in your Kernel of Truth — you’re cultivating true connection to people, not stuff.
Our Kernel of Truth, led by Rootstock Creative Strategist Gwendolyn Kuhlmann, is a 2- hour intensive to identify and articulate your story, followed by touchstones you (and your team) can easily return to again and again for impactful and empowering communications.
After the interviews, you will receive a Brand Identity Document designed to help guide your new story and message:
- A One Page Summary for each leader answering four key questions: Who are you? What are you making? What does it mean to you? Why does it matter?
- For teams, a second summary document connecting the dots between each team member so that leaders have a better picture of how the thought leadership of each individual connects to a larger whole.
- Future prompts to help you develop comms around central business themes.
- A “This is Me/Us” post.
- Transcript highlights from all interviews.
Who It’s Ideal For:
Individual leaders (founders, consultants, executives, owners, solopreneurs) as well as leadership teams who have struggled to clearly convey their vision and purpose.
