Finding Your Voice: Building Simple, Authentic Messaging with Helen Thacker
In this episode of Small Business School, I’m welcoming back my friend and messaging expert, Helen Thacker! We’re chatting all about what’s really been happening behind the scenes in both of our businesses over the past two years — and digging deep into why messaging is way more than just finding the "perfect words." Helen shares how powerful it can be when you stop chasing trends and numbers online, and start showing up with audacious authenticity.
Key topics covered:
- Why fear of “being too much” is keeping you from truly connecting in your messaging
- How to simplify your messaging by focusing on connection, certainty, and authority
- Why messaging isn’t just about you — it’s the bridge between you and the people you serve
- The power of refining your messaging as you grow (and why it’s a skill you’ll keep building)
- What’s on the other side of finally showing up confidently as yourself in your business
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to “say the right thing,” this one’s for you.
Helen invites you to check out the exclusive Messaging Vault where you’ll learn exactly what to say to magnetise premium clients and convert them faster, all happening weekly inside a private Telegram channel - and it’s completely FREE!
