Another PBA Graduation in the Books
On Monday, we completed the 8th round of Personal Brand Accelerator (absolutely wild). It seems like yesterday I was writing the program and living at my parents’ house after college. I actually remember the first time I thought of creating a group coaching program.
At the time, I was looking for a business coach to help me solidify my service offerings. I heard a Writing Coach speak on a Freelancing podcast and felt super connected, so I sent him an inquiry. He responded promptly with his offerings via email, one of which was a group program to help writers launch their coaching businesses. It ended up not being a good fit, but I thought, “Wait a minute, a group coaching program is a good idea,” as I was only doing 1:1 coaching at the time.
A few weeks later, I started drafting the outline for my program. It took almost a year to launch, but once I did, I knew it was going to be special. I ended up in Boston a few years later, and that’s when the program began to flourish. To this day, the work we do with our students in Personal Brand Accelerator is what I am most proud of. Every new round of students teaches me something new.
As the program continues to grow, we’ve met and mentored people who live all over the world, but many of whom live right here in Boston. Last night a big group of us went to Southie Bowl (which is old-school candlestick bowling) and it was so much fun! It was so cool to see PBA graduates who’ve completed the program at different times, meet and connect with one another. The one thing everyone has common: an authentic personal brand.
And, hey, if you think that might be you…. if you also want to build an authentic personal brand, tell your story, create content, then consider joining the waitlist for Round 9 starting on August, 31, 2023. It’s going to be the best round yet, as we are meticulously improving the experience for future students--you!
That’s it over here. I hope you have a great rest of your evening.
What I’m up to this week:
Speaking at Parlay House on Tuesday night, if you're in Boston, come through!
Recording for the Personal Branding Podcast SEASON 3!!
Writing my next Substack: Why I’ve Decided to Self Publish
Going to Florida to meet Trevor’s mom for the first time!
Working through this workbook
All my best,
Anna Vatuone
