A rebrand of my service page has long been overdue. I needed to find clarity as I felt my message was getting lost. I wasn't even clear myself how all of the various service options I offered tied together, and I was starting to find it a challenge to speak with clarity whenever somebody asked me 'what do you do?'
Do I talk about my award winning photography service?
What about the range of commercial services I provide including introducing businesses to new service providers?
Then there's the coaching and mentoring, the bill health checks, free energy club and my growing team of 'bill busting gurus'!
Mental health advocacy and simply 'being there'.
Connections, collaborations, networking.
I've added podcasting to my list.
Stories are a big part of my work, being a visual story creator and helping others to share their stories.
Husband, father, part time dogsitter.
I'm a dreadful sales person - I talk people into something and before I know it I've talked them out of it again!
But I'm good at finding solutions, uncovering and offering the right options to help people move from point A towards point B.
So over some months as I've been bringing lots of loose ends together, I began to realise what the common element to all this is.
Isn't it funy how we can talk, listen to others and find the words that make sense to them, to their situation and their future. But we can't do it for ourselves?
Yes that common element in everything I offer is ME...
It's hard to quantify it, to put a discreet value on what I do, how I do it. Maybe because all the elements are so varied and often seem unrelated. But the true value is in the difference we make. The hopes, aspirations and dreams for the future, and the belief that comes with it.
So how do I sum this up? Because it's not about one service, one connection, one fix.
Well it turns out it's the OPTIONS!
And that's where my skills lie.
Listening, questioning, perhaps even probing, in the right way with the right words. Uncovering the options that will make a differfence.
My job then isn't to decide, or to sell, or to persuade.
It's simply to show, to present and describe what is possible. Share some options. Show how those options can be achieved, and if necessary connect with the right people to go the next step.
So here we are, at the end of a long and rambling post that somehow brings me closer to clarity for my own journey, and indeed my own options. It's the start of the next chapter in my story and it's called...
"Your Next OPTIONS with Michael Thorn"
