Comfort

What can you do to feel more comfortable marketing so you don't hide your business from people who need you most?

Professional?

Professional has room for other than practical, right? More space than stuffy stuff?

Go for goofy!

Get up and take aim at goofy.

Get a chance to talk to a group?

Stand up, curl your hands around your sleeves and wander about. Literally wander!

Use the entire physical space available. Practice ahead of time and be as goofy as you possibly can.

Then when you deliver you'll land it just right.

What does going for goofy look like?

Experiments in good taste that simply aren't part of your style today. Anything that practicing feels true but perhaps a wee bit sheepish to your heart.

Leap!

Going for goofy feels outside your comfort zone. Simple stuff. Storytelling!

Tell your memorable funny stories of your solo professional practice. Go big; go goofy! Keep goofy simple. Move fast where you'd go slow; slow down where fast feels a fit.
