How I can help
My professional background
As a Teacher in Public Speaking at Purdue University, I gained expertise in managing and motivating people. With that, I also gained the ability to creatively design training and observation exercises that transitioned well into my work life. While working at Midwest Mobile Billboards in sales and advertising, I mostly gained a passion for the development of unique branding opportunities and shocking business exposure -- this came from diligent market research and outside-of-the-box consideration. In 2014 I opened a small cosmetic company named Simone Blushr. This originally was designed to become a direct marketing firm, but gladly remained a small retail and party company. I personally developed the business plan, financial planning/forecasting, branding of the org, procurement, etc. Last, I currently work with The Barrel Run, and Chicago based hospitality organization that specializes in tours. I run the social media, train the contracted actors, and wear various other hats.
How to work with me
What I can offer
I'd like to think of myself as a life coach in a way, so it would be ideal to work with individuals needing creative, positive motivation to push forward. Fear is ultimately the main obstacle we face (well, besides money), and I enjoy assisting others in facing those fears, moving forward, and growing from them. In addition, I am an expert in working with people, so any interpersonal issues, or means of getting into people's brains (i.e. marketing/advertising) are my forte. Ultimately, it would be my pleasure to hear others' problems/fears/obstacles and assist in brainstorming that excites and builds confidence!
