As a small business, how do you stand out from your competitors? How do you attract the best clients, top talent, and necessary funding? This Lunch + Learn will be lead by Heather Steele, founder of Blue Steele Solutions, a web design and branding agency.

Whether you're just getting started with a side-gig or you've been in business for years, there's one thing that can truly set you apart and make people want to hire your services, buy your products and champion your growth. That one thing is your story.

Your brand story goes beyond what you do and tells the world why you do it. Your brand story gives people the emotional connection they yearn for and turns customers and partners into champions of your success. Your brand story transforms you from someone who delivers a product or service to someone who has a purpose and spends every day living that purpose.

Participants can expect to learn why a clear brand story is the key to moving your business forward and start to build their own brand story during this interactive workshop.

Lunch + Learns are free for Stoke members and there is a small fee for nonmembers. Lunch is included. RSVP Required.
