“The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.” ~ Malcolm S. Forbes

Hi Friends,

I have something important to share with you this week, that I believe is going to benefit you and perhaps your extended network too! Let me preface the ‘share’, for those of you who are new to my newsletter community: Welcome!

With 30 years in the entrepreneurial arena, of which 20 have been in media, communications, and events, I’ve had the fortune of creating and curating 2 long standing brands ANOKHI LIFE & OPEN CHEST (est. 2002), that have afforded me some great milestone moments. 

Some have been the opportunity of working with big name celebrities for:

• My media properties (Kim Kardashian, Nicole Scherzinger, Nelly Furtado, Dita Von Teese) 
• My event properties (Priyanka Chopra, Freida Pinto, Hannah Simone, Robin Sharma, Rohan Oza)

And others have been working with big name multinational corporations for: Marketing campaigns (L’Oréal Paris, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, T-Fal, Jeep, Pantene, Huawei, Johnnie Walker, Cîroc). 

After 15 years of doing this, where I launched a quarterly print glossy magazine, 3 coffee table books, 6 websites, 3 YouTube channels, 2 newsletters, multiple social media pages, and celebrity and lifestyle galas, events, parties, and seminars, I expanded into coaching, consulting, and mentoring one-on-one in 2017. 

Here, I have been sharing insights and expertise on 11 areas that I have worked extensively on and in: 

• Clearing Blocks & Resolution (making peace with the past)  
• Mindset & Clarity (paying homage to the present)
• Goals, Milestones, And Tasks (cultivating the future)
• Identity & Story-telling (who are you & what’s your magic) 
• Branding & Image (aligning your story with a brand strategy & image)
• Media & Presentation Skills (stepping into your power) 
• Communications Strategy (commanding an audience)
• Marketing Strategy (legitimizing your worth & value proposition)
• Networking Skills (building your network) 
• Holistic Leadership (incorporating all of the above to inspire & motivate consistent alignment with everyone in your ecosystem) 
• Creating Community & Advocacy (amplifying your reach through others’ support)

After seeing a real need to scale beyond the one-on-one service, I launched The Open Chest^® Confidence Academy in December 2020, to reach more people and provide greater accessibility with a website, YouTube channel, podcast, blog, newsletter, and social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. With a real desire to want to serve more people with a next-level experience, I decided to create a series of FREE TRAININGS and host them in the 11 areas that I specialize in, so here’s the ‘share’ (drum roll) . . . I’m thrilled to bring to you this . . .

These will be launched throughout the year, with the first one being branding themed, launching on Monday April 26th at 12pm EST. This debut masterclass is called:

I want to teach you in 90 minutes, what has taken me 30 years in the entrepreneurial arena to learn and dial in. The insights I’ve garnered along the way have been game-changing for me and my clients and I’m confident that they will fast-track anyone’s journey no matter what stage you are at, as well as minimize your chance of failure.

Each masterclass will be themed around one of my 11 areas of expertise which I’ll be deep diving into, based on industry benchmarks (only those I stand by), my unconventional experience in the trenches, and real life case studies.

I invite you to join me by signing up HERE before it’s too late, as the masterclass hosting platform we’re using has a cap on the amount of people we can allow in per session. I don’t want you to miss out on attending this, if this is something that you really want to learn. Also, please feel free to share with everyone in your network base that you feel should attend, because the more the merrier! Oh, and I should mention, there is a free workbook that my team will be emailing to all registrants to accompany the masterclass, so that you can plan your branding strategy – whether you’re newly creating one, re-imaging an old one, or completely re-branding. PLUS, I have a bonus gift for everyone who watches the training till the end!

Until next time.
