Marketing in Alignment with Your Values

Jan 10, 2020

If you’ve ever used a marketing strategy that didn’t feel good, you can probably trace it back to being out of alignment with your core values. But how do we stop chasing society’s definition of success and learn to define it for ourselves? And how do we promote our business in a way that feels authentic to our brand and the values we care about?

Katie Rasoul is the leadership coach, keynote speaker and team culture expert behind Team Awesome Coaching, an individual and group practice that specializes in supporting high-potential leaders and creating engaged teams. Katie has taken the stage at both TEDx and Disrupt, and she wrote the bestseller Hidden Brilliance: A High-Achieving Introvert’s Guide to Self-Discovery, Leadership and Playing Big. Katie also serves as cohost of The Life & Leadership Podcast.
