I just completed a game-changing branding session with Gloria Roheim and Ricardo McRae. In one afternoon, we created a strategic 6-step plan for a business I’ve wanted to start for years. These two saw beyond what I said and translated my ideas into a business. They identified my strengths and packaged them to sell immediately. I highly recommend them if you’re eager to make an impact and start something big!
