That's a brilliant result! It's often the most basic of things that get us the best results, right? You've inspired me to do the same.

Oh, thanks, Sandy! I appreciate that, as it's taken me a bit of time to nail it down.

Thank you :)

It's a shame you couldn't make it, Roy. Good luck with the rewrite!

Thanks, Amy. I appreciate it, as I find it hard to get this stuff right (even though I work with words 🙈).

A3: Yes, I will, because I've had a few enquiries that weren't interesting enough to pursue. I replied, of course, but it made me realise I need to sharpen my messaging to weed people out and save us all time.

In France and beyond. I have this further down on my homepage (and on my LinkedIn, etc.): I'm based in France, work in English, and partner with social impact founders, community leaders, and purpose-driven teams worldwide. After all, changemakers are everywhere!

That made me giggle, as I worked with many engineers during my in-house comms days. Some were cooperative, while others were reluctant to share...like getting blood from a stone!

PS. I realised I didn't really answer the question...I obviously need to work on how I describe myself, haha!

A2: Not yet, but it's something I'm working through right now as I'm thinking about dropping funding research from my services. I'm part of a marketing membership that is helping a lot in refining my messaging.

A1: On my homepage, I have: Words that win funding for changemakers. Grant writing for organisations and founders making a positive impact, especially for women and girls.'

I'm working on refining this because 'changemakers' is perhaps too broad. It's a work-in-progress!

Hey Amy, great to see you here. Just sorry to hear about the snowstorm coming your way. That sounds pretty scary.
