Supposedly, 81% of Americans — around 228 million people! — think they have a book in them, and, that they should write one.Clearly, books are revered in American society. But what does it take to become one of the few people who actually do it?Nikki Groom is a brand strategist, the host of the Movement Makers podcast, and the author of A Power of Your Own: How to Awaken Your Potential, Experiment With Purpose, And Do Work That Matters. Having worked together in a coaching capacity, Nikki and Dave go behind the scenes to recount her book's slow formulation—and, how the expectation of what it means to write a book oftentimes differs in reality.Overcoming imposter syndrome, shame scripts, self-limiting beliefs, and a world of learned doubts from a society that tells many, especially those from historically marginalized identities, to remain small, Nikki shares how book writing was an invitation to learn, grow, and heal.Hailed as “a force of nature” and “a rising superstar”, Nikki is on a mission to help women entrepreneurs recognize their worthiness, own their power, and amplify their impact—without checking their integrity at the door. She has been involved in dozens of projects and partnerships that focus on empowering women in business.

What makes you feel confident walking into a new room?  For a lot of us our automatic response might feel “feeling prepared.”  Feeling like you know everything and can take on anything.  And while that sounds good in theory, I'd argue true confidence involves being comfortable with the idea that you don't have to know everything. I call it the “in the know trap.”  This need to be a subject matter expert and read every resource possible can sometimes be a sign of fear.  It's like the fear of failure, fear of being judged or fear of missing out has us pervasively take on this ‘must be in the know' persona. True confidence in yourself is trusting that you have the ability and power you need as you are.   When we come from a posture of love, we are comforted in knowing if we don't know, we know we have the capability, competence and resourcefulness to find out. My guest today is the one and only Nikki Groom!  She's been hailed as “a force of nature” and “a rising superstar”, Nikki Groom is on a mission to help rising women leaders recognize their worthiness, own their power, and amplify their impact - without checking their integrity at the door.  She is the author of "A Power of Your Own: How to Ignite Your Potential, Uncover Your Purpose, and Blaze Your Own Trail in Life and Business", a business, brand and marketing strategist, and the creator of the Movement Makers Mastermind: a small business growth accelerator for women entrepreneurs. Nikki hosts the Movement Makers podcast, is the Founder of The 100 Stories Worth Telling Project, and acts as an adviser for social entrepreneurs and enterprises. She has been involved in dozens of projects and partnerships that focus on empowering women in business.  Today we discuss:  A Power of Your Own: This is the title of Nikki's book and an important idea when we talk about selling from love.  Nikki talks about her own experiences with fear and shares a story of how she overcame it and stepped into her power.    Entrepreneurship as a self-development journey: We've talked about this before-- when your business becomes you your success seems intrinsically tied to how you see yourself. Nikki shares her learnings on this journey and how self-love and acceptance are fundamental to your success.  “Lead by Example”: This is Nikki's phrase of the year and something all of us can try to improve upon.  Nikki and Finka discuss the ripple effect that leadership can have on the emotional wellbeing of a team. I can't wait for you to listen in and to learn how to find a power of your own as Nikki Groom shows us her way.   PS: If you loved this episode, please head on over to your podcast app to rate and give us a review.

That's what Kira and I do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. Kira:   You're invited to join the club for episode 151 as we chat with branding and events strategist, Patsy Kenney, about celebrating something every day, what it's like to start an agency with your best friends, how to know if you should have your own event, and what it takes to make an event successful. Welcome, Patsy. Rob:   Hey, Patsy. Patsy:            Hey, thank you both so much for having me. I'm really excited about this conversation. Kira:   Yes, we are excited, and we met ... I was trying to trace it back, but we met via Nikki Groom, who is also on our show, and we met at the Good Life Project, which is such a nice place to meet you. Patsy:            We did. It was a lovely space, and I just adore that community because it is full of amazing people like yourself who are looking to really get the most out of this human experience that we're a part of. Kira:   All right, so, Patsy, let's kick us off with your story. I know you've gone through a lot of changes in your business and your life. Let's just start with how you ended up becoming a brand and event strategist. Patsy:            Awesome. Yeah, so my path has not been a linear one by any means. When I first graduated from high school, I grew up in a small town in Maine, and I knew I wanted to leave the state, at least for those four years of college. I found myself in Rhode Island. When I first started that college pathway, I really didn't know what I wanted to focus on, and I didn't really have a great sense of self. I knew that I loved learning about people, and I was a decent writer. Those two things as my filter, I eventually found myself pursuing a public relations degree, and quickly, after graduation, found myself in a corporate setting in a marketing department for very well-known brands, but in an industry and space that wasn't exactly what I would call interesting to me. While it was a great foundational place for me to land in terms of learning about how a business works and what it's like to be out in this sort of corporat...

We dive into Nikki's wisdom surrounding messaging and storytelling, and Nikki shares some key nuggets around clarity and empathy involved in the process of creating a message for your audience.

Nikki Groom helps owners build businesses from the inside out. She believes that the inside absolutely has to come first so we don’t adopt strategies and build models based on what others are doing. When we do that it never quite feels fulfilling and becomes harder to serve from a place of purpose. She believes that all of this all starts with our vision. When we connect back to our vision we can get back to our why and get back on the path that we want to be on, without negating ourselves. “Vision is the Northstar so we don’t burnout doing all the urgent stuff.” We also talked about: Creating enough space to pull back our limiting views we have ourselves so we can allow the most powerful dream to emerge. Setting time limits for our vision to make them less vague. Not giving up on our vision. It’ll get more and more clear. Making space for the important not urgent work. Nikki also talked about the importance of social media. That it plays the role of telling the story of the important work we do. Her guideline for posting goes like this:  effort, faith, mindfulness and intention.

Copywriter and entrepreneur Nikki Groom joins Rob and Kira for the 121st episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. Nikki is a high achiever who isn’t afraid of trying new things (like moving to America to start a business) so we asked her about her life as a copywriter and the new things she’s doing in her business. Here’s a look at what we covered in this fantastic interview: •  how she became an advisor, coach and marketing specialist •  why she moved to America to further her career •  what she does to prove her haters wrong •  what it took to get traction when she first started out on her own •  how she “forced” herself to quit by booking so much work she had to •  when she knew she had to double her rates (and how she did it) •  what she did to book herself out for three months at a time •  the mistake she made with her one-day package •  how Nikki has expanded her business beyond copywriting •  when you know you need to say “no” to an opportunity •  what she did to make a bigger impact (and get paid more) •  how we as copywriters can make a bigger impact with our brands •  why numbers are the wrong thing to focus on as you start to grow •  what she’s done to grow her own influence •  the difference between being a freelancer and a business owner •  what she does to develop great relationships • what the future of copywriting looks like to her Bonus... we asked Nikki a couple of questions about her podcast and what works when potential guests pitch her.

Kira:   You're invited to join the club for Episode 121, as we chat with brand strategist, copywriter, and storytelling expert, Nikki Groom, about creating personal brands that create a big impact; how storytelling humanizes our business; what it means to lead with empathy; and how copywriters can increase their income and impact without sacrificing their relationships and lifestyle. Kira:   So, welcome Nikki, it's great to have you here. Nikki: Thank you! I am so excited and happy to be here. Rob:   We're glad to have you. Kira:   We met in your mastermind that we'll talk about. So let's kick this off with just this story about how you ended up as a brand messaging storytelling strategist, creative coach, leadership consultant, all the things. How did you get there? Nikki: Yes. Well first, I think it's worth mentioning that there have been many, many iterations when it comes to the many job titles that I could attach to my work. And that's chiefly because, over the course of several years now, I've just learned so much. And actually it's kind of been this ongoing battle like, am I this? Am I that? And I'm kind of ... even though I do have all of those labels on my website, I am kind of allergic to labels, cause I'm like, ‘Well, it doesn't quite fit in this box. It's like this thing, and a bit of this thing.’

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.  ~Audre Lorde Today we’re continuing with our Amplify Your Voice series. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode with Nikki Groom, I highly encourage you to go check that out. I want to pick up where Nikki left off in a short riff today. Using our voices has been on my mind a lot lately, particularly in the wake our current political and cultural climate right now. Last week I had a great conversation with a potential client about where she’s headed in the next few years. This smart, ambitious woman declared to me her desire to step into the political arena and run for local office. She’s worked on campaigns before and is very civic-minded, but this will be the first time it’s moved from behind-the-scenes support to centre stage spotlight. My immediate thoughts when she told me were, “I am so damn excited for her” and “this is a brave woman.” Enjoy the episode!

It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent. ~Madeleine Albright Today I’m happy to have storyteller and entrepreneurial rockstar, Nikki Groom on the podcast to kick-off a series of episodes around amplifying our voices. Now, more than ever, we need more women speaking up, sharing their ideas and being change agents for good. And that’s where Nikki comes in. We talk about why speaking it up is so important and what gets in the way of us using our voice and showing up. Nikki is the host of Movement Makers, a podcast featuring in-depth conversations and unfiltered stories from business leaders and entrepreneurs who are making a difference on the planet, and founder of The 100 Stories Worth Telling Project, which seeks to amplify the voices of underrepresented entrepreneurs all over the world.

She didn’t feel confident and had not found her voice yet. Nikki’s writing always gave her an escape and allowed her to use her voice, though. At the age of 15, Nikki spent two weeks shadowing a reporter at a local newspaper and remained quiet for most of her time there. When it was time for the editor to submit Nikki’s evaluation to her school, he reported that she met all the basic requirements, but included  a paragraph stating that Nikki did not possess the voice or personality to become a journalist. Nikki felt that the editor didn’t know her at all and what she was capable of, and was infuriated by his assessment, so she set out to prove him wrong. Nikki remembers that she had a friend at university who laughed at the idea of her studying abroad. Well, now Nikki lives in the United States. Whenever someone challenges Nikki, it only pushes her further to succeed. The Wake Up Call Nikki was the UK manager at a global company, and was craving a new opportunity. She was offered a job in London, but when she asked her boss for his opinion, he told her they weren’t offering enough pay and that she should wait. Within the next few months, the North American manager in the same company sent out an email announcing her departure. As she read the email, her head started filling with ideas and possibilities. Nikki drove home and had an internal struggle over her next steps and ended up siding with the thrill of this amazing opportunity. That moment was her wake up call. Style of Leadership Nikki would describe her leadership style as real. It’s something that people have told her they really admired about her. Nikki doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Sure, she is an expert in certain areas, but she knows that there is always room to grow and learn. Nikki also likes to lead from within and from a place of empathy and compassion. She wants those inside her community to really feel included, as that was something she struggled with in her youth. What Are You Excited About? Nikki is super excited about her new website. It has been a huge production with a great team, and she cannot wait for everyone to see it. There will be new offers and lots of new stuff coming up this year. Current Business Challenge Even with her business is in a transitional phase, Nikki knows that one of the key things she has to accomplish soon is gathering a team around her to lift her to the next level. She has been working with a diversity consultant who is surrounded by a wonderful team, which showed Nikki that is exactly what she needs. Leadership Practice Nikki is a firm believer in meditation. Advice For Younger Self Nikki would tell her younger self to speak up!
