Judge a person by their questions rather than by their answers
We are living in a digital, socially connected world.
This is a VUCA world – volatile, uncertain, changing and ambiguous where digital disruption is causing a communications revolution.
My approach to supporting your digital marketing transformation is simple:
1) Where are you now?
Assessment of current digital marketing capability and set up – looking from a customer perspective, from a marketing perspective and at an organisational level.
2) Where do you want to get to and why?
Collaborative consultation with workshops on identifying purpose and setting short, mid and long term goals
3) How will you get there?
Consultancy and training to help you create the right strategy for your organisation
4) Staying fresh
Ongoing mentoring and coaching to support your teams on the journey
If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you
I offer three standard programmes which will inspire you, increase your knowledge and skills, and put you one step ahead of the curve when it comes to digital marketing:
Programme 1: Communicating in a socially connected world
An introduction to the changing digital marketing landscape that explores the opportunities and challenges faced by modern marketer.
Programme 2: Talkable content marketing that travels
A detailed look at the motivations behind why people share, the role of emotions within content and the role of social media in spreading stories.
Programme 3: Content marketing essentials
A practical guide to what makes rich content, co-operative content creation and working in an agile fashion.
A manager tries to change people; a coach knows to grow them
Coaching is a collaborative process where we use open conversation, questions and tools to help you unlock answers:
My goal with coaching is to help you move from stuck to unstuck. I have a bold, challenging approach so I’m not for the faint-hearted!
“Jude has a natural coaching style and it’s clear she thrives on helping others work logically through their thoughts and problems to find their own clarity and solutions. She is smart with a warm approach but is not afraid to ask difficult questions and therefore manages to breakthrough the complex and ambiguous.”
“Jude helped me explore and articulate my own style of authentic leadership, and made me realise I had the ability to re-interpret and therefore control difficult situations. I’ve now taken on an entirely new work challenge, confidently, assuredly and with fresh self-knowledge.”
“Half my battle is having confidence in my own abilities. Jude has equipped me with the right tools to question negative feelings, and helped me focus on my strengths and values to realise my potential. I come out of each coaching session feeling motivated, energetic, and with a greater sense of control over my career. After only a few sessions with Jude, my personal development has moved on much more than I had ever imagined it could, and I cannot recommend her enough.”
“I find Jude’s coaching sessions really engaging and she makes me think about things from a number of different perspectives. Now, when I find myself in challenging work situations, I am able to draw on what has been discussed and explored in previous coaching sessions. This makes me feel increasingly confident, and enables me to be more effective in my job.”
