Unlock the power of your unique voice – so you can whisper and still be heard
Learn how to use your unique voice to make a real difference to your readers.
Our “Unlock the power of your unique voice ecourse” offers you new clarity and a genuine way to connect with the people you can help now. Because so much has changed.
Our new normal is different to the world we used to know. In a crisis you don’t always know who you can trust or indeed whether people still trust you. Can you just carry on doing what you’ve done before?
How can you get heard now?
You are certainly not alone in wondering what to say now or how to say it in your blog. Even when you know your voice and think your message is clear, we don’t always use it to its full potential in our blog. It could make all the difference at a time like this.
We are Jean Wolfe and Ute Wieczorek-King, and we know from personal experience how easy it is to feel unsure of our place in the blogging world when something happens that pulls the floor from under our feet.
It is why we adapted some key thinking from our upcoming book into an ecourse. The first two in May and June 2020 received great reviews and so we will run the next one in the autumn. We know that it offers some of the answers you need to know at a time like this.
Do you want to unlock the power of your unique voice? It is more important than ever to turn your voice up a notch in an honest and authentic way. This means without any shouting or hustling so you too can make a difference in as little as 12 days.
What previous course participants told us
| “I am only on Day 7 but have every intention of finishing the course. It has been great already and helped me to focus on my blog and my wider marketing strategy. I have worked out how to use my blog better which is giving me a clear direction. I am launching my latest novel, The Long Marriage later this year and your course is even helping me to devise a launch strategy. The email format is good too in that I can fit it round everything else, very useful in these strange times. Thank you!” | ||

| “When I did the Values exercise on Day 5 I realised that I wasn’t expressing something that is really important to me… self-respect. I also never thought about how I want to be seen, which is very useful too. I like all the thinking and writing exercises and now feel that my voice is getting so much clearer. Thank you for this excellent course. It has given me the direction I needed.” | ||

| “You’ve written an excellent course, lots of thought has gone into it. I liked your personal and exploratory style of writing and thought provoking questions. I also enjoyed doing the exercises and they have either highlighted or confirmed everything that is really important for me and my writing. It was good that the course was offered via email over 12 days and I am happy I can revisit the days when I want to.” | ||
