Are you tired of bro marketing, manipulative algorithms, and sales funnels that encourage you to ‘trip’ a prospect to make her buy more? Then you’re in the right place.

On Small Stage, Big Impact veteran digital strategist, Renia Carsillo, combines solo teaching episodes with interviews to help you learn how to build a sustainable, people-first digital strategy that works for your business. Along the way, she speaks to digital activists, upstart developers, badass content creators, brave community leaders, and other behind-the-scenes folx you probably haven’t heard on a podcast before. To help you answer one important question:

How do we do better digital (#DoBetterDigital) so we can be better humans?

21: Welcome to the 5th Annual Summer Strategy Sessions – Digital Edition
byLourenia Carsillo

If you’ve felt like 2020 has lasted for six years instead of six months, then this is the season for you.

For our fifth year of summer strategy sessions, we’ve made the choice to bring them online. They will be on the podcast and free to our entire community.

The world that we’re living in is unlike anything we’ve dealt with before. That’s why I chose to do this. I want to help you navigate the waters of doing business during and after this new sort of normal we’re living through. 

Inside this episode, you’ll learn my 3 C’s of doing business right now.

You could call this the summer of Covid, but I feel like it’s so much more than that. It’s an opportunity for us to reimagine how our businesses operate, communicate, lead, and thrive.

In this episode, I chat about how you can structure your focus in three key areas:  Care, courage and creativity. This framework is helping me (and my clients) right now to make the best of 2020 and create the year you need. 

In episode 21 of Small Stage, Big Impact we discuss

  • [3:06] How we’re doing summer strategy sessions differently this year
  • [6:03] Why the halfway point of the year is a time to reflect and get real
  • [9:13] How my 2020 has been up to this point
  • [11:27] The biggest changes this year for a lot of businesses
  • [13:47] Giving yourself time and space to grieve for the things you’ve lost this year
  • [14:33] What things have remained the same for businesses over the course of the year
  • [17:35] The beauty, generosity and values I’ve seen businesses uphold during this time
  • [19:46] The 3 C’s of the summer of COVID and what they mean to me
  • [19:54] What care means to me and what it looks like for your business
  • [21:33] Why now is the time that we’re being called to courage
  • [23:55] The magic that can be produced from creativity
