Kim Thompson-Pinder talks about how love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe and when you use it in your business the right way, you create loyal clients and customers who consider you family.

Kim Thompson-Pinder – The Extraordinary Word Ninja and Chief Visionary Officer, RTI Publishing

Have you ever looked at a blank computer screen in frustration because the words won’t come because you are afraid it won’t sound right? Or worse, that it won’t be received well?

Kim spent many years feeling that way after a teacher told Kim that she was, “No good at writing and should stop.”  Discouraged, Kim put writing aside. Then, she came to a crossroads in her life and let those painful words go. She set her words free and let her voice to be heard once more. Since then, she has gone on to author five books (with three more on the way this year), two planners and even a collection of Sudoku books. Most importantly, Kim started RTI Publishing and has helped over one hundred entrepreneurs to become authors and taught them how to use their books to become authorities in their niche and open doors to build their business faster.

Kim understands the power of words and can’t wait to share them with you on this podcast.

In today's episode, Kim, Krystle, and Carol talk about growing your business and how authenticity allows you to grow your business in ways you never expected.

One of the key elements of becoming an Authority is the people you surround yourself with. In 2020 four women, Kim Thompson-Pinder, Samantha King, Carol Boston, and Krystle Dookoo all met at an online networking meeting and found that not only did they all really like each other but had valuable skills, talents, and abilities that could help each other grow their businesses faster.

In October they decided to become the Authority Gang and over the next year, they have dedicated themselves to become a force to be reckoned with as they teach, train, and support entrepreneurs in the seven key business building blocks: Authority Marketing, Sales, Communication, Networking, Social Media, Promotion, and Leadership. You will be seeing the four of them all over social media and once a month featured here on the podcast.

Tyler Foley joins Kim to talk about how to speak in any situation, whether it be a boardroom, a networking meeting, to a client. He gives many tips that are going to be useful, no matter where you are speaking.

Sean Tyler Foley (or STF as he's affectionately known) loves helping people find their voice so they can get their message out to the world. It is the focus of his book, "The Power to Speak Naked", and it’s what truly makes him feel alive. As a performer, speaker, and a general seeker of attention, he knows how hard it can be to get in front of an audience. Facilitating that, even in the smallest way for others, is what he was put on this earth to do.

STF is a husband, father, son, and performer, in that order. Some days he feels like he has dabbled in every industry on the planet, from oil and gas, to aviation, to film and television, but that diverse experience is what has made him so versatile!

Regardless of the industry or the titles he has held, what they all had in common was promoting and encouraging people to be heard and understood. The skills and resources he has garnered along the way have enabled him to become an entertaining professional speaker and a knowledgeable trainer, who aspires others to reach for their dreams.
