Winning Is Easier With a Clear Value Proposition

It's a dog-eat-dog world and everyone is offering something. Those who offer what they are best at will, at least statistically, find the most success. Whether your "offering" is your work in a non-profit, a government organization, a private practice, or a professional freelancer, there's a common theme: if you can clearly define what you do best, and correctly message it to your target audiences, there's much higher probability that people will care about you at least a little more than "not at all."

While this may sound somewhat like a self-help seminar, there won't be any trust falls. We will, however, be diving into some best practices and digital techniques -- both for a personal platform as well as for an organization -- that you can use to clearly show your highest value. Don't worry, though: if we see your eyes start to glaze over we'll flip to the next slide, we promise.

Prior to McBee, Ashtan launched and managed Moore Simply, a lightweight digital strategy firm with a focus on online presence development, brand identity, and the development of engaging digital content. As the company's reputation grew, the scope of projects broadened to include highly specialized skills, such as international crisis remediation support.
