Carving Out Your Category of One
Description
Most positioning advice tells you to get creative. Invent something new. Stand out. Be memorable. But that's not actually how a Category of One gets built, and chasing that approach is why so many experts end up with a brand that feels like a production vs an authentic expression of who they are at what they stand for.
In this episode, Kristin reframes the entire process. Carving out your Category of One isn't a creation exercise.
It’s a four-part excavation process that allows experts to stop competing and play an entirely different game altogether.
WHAT YOU'LL HEAR
- Why the fastest-growing coaches and consultants are going narrow and what the data behind that shift actually signals
- The four excavation points that reveal where your category already lives
- Why trying to be the best in your space is a race to the bottom
- How to bring the breadth of what you do to your Category of One
