Are you an agency owner, executive, or entrepreneur who feels like you’re constantly spinning your wheels, feeling alone and questioning your decisions, and wishing your team was performing at a higher level? I want you to know this is typical and where many of my clients are when they come to me. On the outside, you want to give the impression that you have it all together, but on the inside, you feel frustrated, chaotic, and like you're about to lose your mind any minute. It's common that with growth, what was working may not be working like it used to. Let's talk about solving these problems.

I work with leaders and their teams who are growing and trying to navigate new waters. I help high-performance leaders and their teams conquer challenging situations & maximize potential with Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.

Alex said, "Without question the greatest coach I’ve ever had. He’s helped me stay grounded, focus on what matters, and given me the tools to not only be a better leader, but a better husband, father, and human being."

Clients come to me when: 

➡️They lack clear-minded focus around direction or challenges in their business or with their team
➡️They feel chaotic, stressed out, and are losing sleep at night
➡️They get no break from their business
➡️They are overthinking, doubting themselves, and undermining their own confidence
➡️They avoid conflict or deal with it in unhealthy ways
➡️They struggle with turnover and churn on their team
➡️They see that their team is not performing at the level they want, but they're not sure what to do differently
➡️They are not hitting their revenue and profit goals despite their best efforts and longer hours
➡️They want better communication strategies between their leaders and teams

All of these things can shake your confidence and start breaking your business. Your team will feel it, and your clients will eventually begin to experience a lower return on investment.

Marilyn said, "I run a growing team and have worked with William for over 6 months. His sessions are insightful, thought-provoking, and calming. I look forward to every call with William."

With my Catalytic 3C Accelerator method, I help you conquer challenging situations and maximize potential with Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence so you can build an unbreakable, unshakeable business. See how @catalyticleadership.net

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief Executive Officer at Appreciation at Work!

A. Carden Inc. - Expert In You

I help high-level founders, business owners, and seasoned entrepreneurs align their brilliance with bold business moves — repositioning what they’ve already built into a brand, model, and market presence that reflects their true caliber.

After building and selling multiple businesses — and hitting burnout from working with clients who didn’t value my expertise — I realized traditional strategies weren’t made for elite-level professionals who’ve outgrown the “grind.”

That’s why I created the Expert In You® Method, a proven, strategic growth framework that helps successful entrepreneurs scale with premium positioning, smarter offers, expert authority, and the right visibility to attract high-value clients and deals.

I serve as a strategic power partner and advisor who supports bold moves, big pivots, and meaningful expansion with a personalized roadmap. My clients are often sitting on untapped potential. I help them unlock it, quickly, powerfully, and profitably.

✔ Helped founders reposition for $100K–$400K+ client deals
✔ Advised hundreds of experts and CEOs in over 80 industries

I bring 41+ years of experience in business growth, marketing, and sales, including 13 years in corporate management where I grew multimillion-dollar divisions, and nearly three decades as an entrepreneur with 7 businesses launched and 5 sold.

Today, I run Expert In You® Media & Marketing, host the Expert In You® Podcast, publish Expert In You® Magazine, and speak internationally on branding, business reinvention, and next-level success.

Expert In You - Marketing & Media Agency

ALC Inc.

Started this business from the ground up, built it to success and sold it in 2016.

Founder & CEO

I followed my passion to help other's live a healthier lifestyle and started my fitness business as a bootstrap entrepreneur.  I spent endless hours in my business as a fitness and nutrition expert and business owner.

After years of hard work training and instructing more than 60,000 hours, I made the decision to stop working in the business start working on the business.  This allowed me to open a second location and continue to grow and build the business into a highly successful and profitable health club. I sold this health club for substantial profits in March 2012.

Health Club Owner

Thin and Healthy's Total Solution

Started this business in May 2010 serving women in weight management. I sold this in 2016.

Business Owner

I opened this business in 2006 serving the community with weight management and nutrition. I sold this business in 2012.

Owner

A.L.C. Inc.

After leaving a thirteen-year corporate career in retail business management, I founded and operated a home-based company, Annie's Hutch with just fifteen dollars. I built this business into a successful global business.  I designed and manufactured handcrafted dolls, and patterns for dolls. I built my staff and business while still working from home, raising my children and shipping my unique dolls all over the world.  

My unique designs were hand selected and featured on the cover of the International Magazine  Country Sampler. In 1996, my patterns were purchased by an international manufacturing and pattern company that designed and manufactured creative dolls.

Founder

Corporate Business Management

I managed a variety of multi-million dollar businesses in the corporate retail industry in St. Louis and California. All were Fortune 500 companies that allowed me to gain corporate experience and knowledge. Responsibilities included managing, training and developing staffs of thirty or more people, budget and inventory control, creative display, event and promotional planning, marketing and sales and thought leadership.

In 1991, I left that career to move back to the Mid West with my family and raise my children.

As a Strategic Growth Expert, 4x Author, International Speaker, Podcast Host, Magazine Publisher, and CEO of Expert In You® Marketing and Media Agency, I bring over four decades of business, marketing, and sales experience to my clients both in corporate business management and more than thirty years in my businesses. 

I’ve helped clients go from stalled to seven figures with a single offer shift… from burned out to reclaiming 20+ hours a week while increasing revenue… and from best-kept secret to most in-demand authority.
