About Lynne Golodner

I love finding the right words and weaving them into a compelling story. Whether as a Writing Coach, helping people find their voice & learn to use it, or as a Marketing Strategist, building Foundational Narratives to guide Marketing Communications, and Marketing Strategies, I help people find their voice. STORYTELLING MARKETING My company, Your People LLC, works with schools, universities and entrepreneurs. As the author of 8 books and thousands of articles, I bring a journalistic and creative writing background to develop Foundational Narratives – the story that builds a brand, the words that convey who you are, what you do, & why. Foundational Messaging builds consistency across Marketing channels. See what we offer: https://yourppl.com MARKETING STRATEGY After crafting a compelling story, we build a Marketing Strategy to engage with Internal and External audiences through Marketing initiatives such as Media Relations, Blogging, E-blasts, Social Media, Brand Ambassador programs and more. I coach clients toward implementing their Marketing Strategies. WRITING COACH & WORKSHOP FACILITATOR I’ve taught writing since 1996, and I speak about the Power of Story to build business, including professional development workshops to empower teams in Marketing Storytelling or individuals seeking to write a book or get published. I help people find their voice & learn to use it! I teach my signature writing course, Finding Your Voice at Midlife + Creating Your Author Brand and Writing Guest Essays.

MAKE MEANING PODCAST HOST In 2018, I launched the Make Meaning Podcast, a conversation with inspiring individuals about how they find meaning and purpose. Interviews feature authors, educators, entrepreneurs & community leaders. Listen at https://makemeaning.org/make-meaning-podcast/ or anywhere you find podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify and more! I became an entrepreneur after 15 years as a nationally-known journalist writing for magazines and newspapers about food, faith, home, and family. When I was a single mother of three young children, after the economy crashed, I launched a Marketing agency to put my skills & experience to work while focusing on my kids. Since then, I\'ve been a Fulbright Specialist and a Member of the Forbes Agency Council. Articles: https://lynnegolodner.com/articles/ Books: https://lynnegolodner.com/books/
