“We recently hired Mary to deliver a dynamic online training to our elite mastermind group of Professionals. She customized the material to fit our niche of high performing solo-prenuers and the results were extraordinary. In an age where many are burned out on "just another webinar," Mary's energy and clear framework led to immediate action from our crowd. And that's exactly what we wanted! Engagement and implementation is the key to success and Mary's delivery of this valuable information on personal branding blazed the trail for quick and effective action, even before the training ended. She's also easy to work with behind the scenes- warm, friendly, and efficient.
I highly recommend Mary Fain Brandt. She brings the value!”

Professional Speaker

Are you looking for something more rewarding? Are you being drawn to work in a more meaningful capacity? Are you ready to make a career change, but not sure where to start? 
Then stay right here … and please read on.
Let me ask you a few simple questions:
What areas of your life are affected by your job?
•Your family
•Your lifestyle
•Your health
•Your confidence
•Your emotions

What would your life look like if you loved your job?
•Less stress?
•Happiness? 
•Motivated?
•Fulfilled?
•Energized?

What if your career was aligned with your talents & skills?
•You’d be more engaged, right? 
•Inspired?
•Motivated?
•Successful?
•Fearless?

What if you could design your dream career?

•You’d be happier right?
•You’d be successful right?
•You’d be more aligned with your core values?
•You’d be healthier?
•You’d be engaged?
•You’d be focused?
•You’d be inspired?

Now if you’re thinking that your Dream Career is getting paid to sit and look pretty I’m the wrong coach for you. You need a modeling coach and an agent. 
But if you’re thinking, 
•Am I in the right job?
•My strengths have changed
•My values do not align with the company’s
•I want a more meaningful career
Then please read on….

The latest reports indicate that 75% of the adult population is seeking to do something better/different and that over 53%of working adults HATE their job. 
Notice I said the word HATE, not dislike, HATE. That’s a pretty strong word.

With my unique steps, you will learn how to identify your strengths and your God-given talents.
•You will learn how to clarify your core values and what you are passionate about.
•Next, you will learn how to identify jobs and organizations that are more closely aligned with your personal values, strengths and God-given talents.

LinkedIn Local PHX and San Diego

Bringing your online community offline to meet up in person!

WHAT IS LINKEDIN LOCAL?

This is a no business card event which means we are not gathering to pass out 100’s of business cards. Nope!  Instead, we gather to connect and cultivate our online relationships and establish new ones. This isn’t done by passing out 25 business cards, it’s done through conversations.

Come join the local Phoenix  LinkedIn community OFFLINE to connect in real life!
 
➡️  Make new connections.
➡️  Strengthen existing ones.
➡️  Renew old connections.

We will have amazing local speakers talking on hot topics that will help you elevate your brand! Of course there will be raffle prizes (that’s my department) and tasty nibbles from local food vendors.

As with every event, a part of the proceeds will be donated to a local non-profit organization because we feel doing business in the community means giving back to the community!

THE VIRTUAL EDGE

We help Coaches and Consultants position themselves as the rockstars they are and get traction to scale their business by:
📌 Getting clear on who your ideal client is (you might not be as dialed in on this as you think.)

📌 Getting organized with your processes and systems so you can scale without pulling out your hair or throwing your laptop across the room.

📌 Learning how to create bigger packages at higher prices so you can work with fewer clients (and the right ones!)

You don’t need 10 different packages with different price points to hit your goals. What you need is our game plan for creating your signature solution to scale.

Shyne San Diego

It's important to give back to our communities and that's why I've partnered up with Cynthia at Shyne San Diego to help support these women in transition by helping them build out their LinkedIn Strategies and build their online reputations. 

It's so amazing to see these beautiful women RISE above the noise and chart their own paths on their own terms

Hera Hub

I get to share my LOVE for this amazing collaborating coworking space for female entrepreneurs.
I toured three different co-working spaces and I visited Hera Hub three times before signing up-- hey it was an investment and I wanted to make sure I would be happy with my investment.
Why didn't I like the other two? One felt like a bank- it was stuffy and really outdated. It felt cold and stagnant. The other location didn't have parking and I could not see myself driving around looking for parking and paying an arm and a leg, nor could I ask my clients to do this!

So Hera Hub it was! I haven't regretted this decision once.

If you would like a free day pass to check out and see what all the buzz is about, let me know and I will hook you up!

I help you turn your LinkedIn Profile into a Lead Magnet.
I work with entrepreneurs and small business owners as well as, sales teams. 

𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗜𝗡-𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗘𝗗
Have your employees ever gotten frustrated trying to figure out how to best use LinkedIn? Unfortunately, you’re not the only one. Does your sales department consider your ability to appear professional on LinkedIn an asset in closing sales? Too many teams lack an understanding of how great of a tool LinkedIn is. 

With my team training for LinkedIn, I can help your team create a Spotlight Profile, one where connection requests don't get ignored, drives traffic to your website and puts qualified leads into your referral pipeline.

As a LinkedIn Trainer, I have offered LinkedIn Training Courses in:
Social Selling
Branding
Thought Leadership
LinkedIn Pages (formerly known as Company Pages)

Services:
LinkedIn Trainer/ Rockstar Profiles/Company Pages/Done-for-you services
Network Growth/ LinkedIn Branding/ LinkedIn Video Content
Content Strategy Workshops/

LinkedIn Trainer/ Rockstar Profiles/LinkedIn Pages/Done-for-you Services

First impressions matter. Would you agree? If I look at a profile and it isn’t clear what the person offers or it’s super salesy, I skip to the next one. Profiles matter and people will decide if they want to work with you, add you to their network or SKIP right over you.

🔵  Why wouldn’t you want a SPOTLIGHT PROFILE?🔵

LinkedIn is an untapped goldmine of leads, but you have to know how to use it. Don’t send annoying salesy Inmails. You’ll be wasting your time and tarnishing your reputation. 
I help you turn your LinkedIn Profile into a✅  Lead Magnet; generating leads and filling your pipeline.  Learn how to create referral partnerships and an online presence that you're proud of.

🚨 LinkedIn Update Alert! 🚨

So, LinkedIn has done it again! Our free plan messaging limit has been cut from 5 to just 3 messages.  It’s a bit of a bummer, especially when you want to follow up with those awesome new connections you made at conferences.

But hey, it’s a sign of the times, right? LinkedIn’s going more and more "pay-to-play," and that’s okay! 

So, what’s the game plan? We can still engage by commenting on posts, joining conversations, and making our presence known in creative ways. Plus, I’ll just have to get even more creative with my follow-ups! 

What's your best idea? Drop your thoughts and tips below! 👇💬

In the meantime, I'll be getting some steps in while I think about solutions.
