Package♟️Strategic Business Alignment Sessions

In these **six weeks**, we make sure you are set up to run a real, for-profit business, not a hobby or a passion project that hasn't figured out how to pay you yet. 

Every week, one real piece of the foundation. Every week, something to **DO** between sessions, not something to _"think about"_ doing.

 This isn't consulting. I'm not solving your one problem and sending you back out there. This is the ground floor, **the stuff nobody teaches because it's not "exciting enough" to sell.** But it's exactly what you **need**.

By the end, you'll know exactly what your business is, how to talk about it, how to run it, and how to grow it, on purpose. **NOTE:** This is a 6-week program, but you have flexibility in pacing. Book weekly for the full six-week experience, or spread sessions out every other week. All six sessions must be completed within 13 weeks of your start date.

Real Business, No Hype | INTENSIVE

🎬 Lights. Camera. Action.
==========================

### **_Your First Impression Intensive_**

 You only get one first impression — and on camera, it happens in seconds. In this private, live session, I personally coach you through everything that turns a viewer from clicking away into leaning in. And you don't just leave knowing how, you leave with the proof: a polished First Impression welcome video for your business. With 35+ years helping people show up powerfully on screen, and as the creator of the Headshot Strategist and Brand Embodiment method, I know exactly what makes a first impression land. Here's how our time together works: 💡 **Lights** — We get your setup right. Lighting, framing, background — so you look like you belong on screen. 🎥 **Camera** — We get you right. Eye line, presence, tone — so you command attention the moment you appear. 🎬 **Action** — We capture it, together. Your words, your message, your call to action, recorded live with me right beside you, so your viewer always knows exactly what to do next. **You show up.** I'm there every step. Then I take it from there, I professionally edit your footage and deliver a finished ~3-minute First Impression welcome / intro video in 48 hours, ready to post to your website, your socials, or the top of your channel. **You walk away with two things:** The **skills** to show up with confidence every time you hit record, and A finished welcome **video** that introduces you to the world, beautifully.

"Before Global Business Plaza, I felt lonely in my entrepreneurial journey. Now I have a wonderful community. Since joining, I’ve had moments of incredible clarity and deep realization about my business... I found great joy even in the administrative aspects of my business, thanks to accountability calls and group support. The private session experiences and classes have truly shifted my business direction. The Plaza feels like a vacation I didn’t know I needed—my business now feels nourished and grounded."

Dailey Little

"Before the Plaza, I was operating independently; now I feel like I have friends and an additional family. I love being in business for myself, but not by myself—here, ideas multiply through sharing... The gifts, tools, and people in the Plaza have been invaluable for my business growth. Building out creative rooms and getting feedback has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone. Networking and relationship-building have given my business growth in areas I never anticipated."

Debbie Jeter

"Working with Peggy, the founder, has shown me that she attracts the type of people I want to work with and builds communities that foster genuine connections. Since joining, I’ve made meaningful connections both for collaboration and community building... The regular networking, especially the speed networking, has been quite helpful and expanded my understanding of online networking. The Plaza is celebratory, plentiful, and gets you up and going—something good’s always about to happen."

Aicila Lewis

"The Plaza opened up my visibility without relying on traditional social media. Being a premium member gave me additional tools, presence, and visibility for my business... It allows me to repurpose and showcase years of digital content in one cohesive space. Co-working sessions and workshops provide authentic camaraderie and a supportive environment. Since joining, my confidence has noticeably increased—even as someone who teaches confidence!"

Dr. Charity C. Campbell-Kapela, DM, RODC

"Since joining the Plaza, I feel like I can open up more with clients and other business owners. I’ve gained more visibility and it has become easier to network... Being part of the community made me feel less introverted and more confident in social and business settings. The Get Done workshops help me keep going and expand my business. Learning about policies and contracts at the Plaza helped me better protect my business."

Arik Sparano

"I wanted real connections, not just surface-level or transactional ones, and the Plaza provided that. Meeting business owners as serious as I am about growth is a game-changer... The Rich Directory lets you showcase your business beyond a simple listing. Community support means you’re never alone; you can always bounce ideas off others. The investment in the Plaza is worth it for the relationships and growth it brings."

Gary Gordon

"I needed to bring my successful offline business online—the Plaza made that transition possible. Direct feedback and collaboration within the community have been vital... Peggy’s spirit and leadership create a truly supportive environment. Refining my business for the directory helped clarify my message and offers. The Plaza is like getting an instant family of trusted business advisors."

Jamie Rich

"I used to feel isolated, but the Plaza gave me a creative, supportive network. Conversations in the Plaza have helped evolve my business and bring clarity... Workshops are invaluable for genuine networking and learning. Talking with creatively-minded people increased my confidence and business visibility. The community’s goodwill and support make all the difference."

Jacqui McGinn 

"The Plaza gave us a creative space to brainstorm and launch new ideas for our community. Being able to tap into Peggy’s knowledge and the directory’s features has been invaluable... Collaborating with talented people here has opened up new revenue streams for our business. Exposure through the Expo brought attention to our projects and partnerships. It’s a cool, funky collective—the people make it special."

Jennifer Cairns

"Joining was about personal growth as much as business—being in this generous community is invaluable. I love learning from the creativity and generosity of other members... ‘Around the Business Plaza’ sessions provide priceless feedback and support. The sense of community is vital—you simply can’t do great work alone. The Plaza is a place where unique ideas and talents are not only welcomed but celebrated."

Jill Flowers

Keith Troup

"Before the Plaza, I relied on an outdated website and felt alone. The creative collaboration here goes far beyond what I imagined possible... I’m able to attach resources and tools to my virtual space—making business easy and engaging. Hosting events and inviting people into my space has expanded my reach and visibility. This community is cozy, innovative, and filled with support."

Completing my profile and attending events has connected me with real, caring people. Group interactions help me think deeper and refine my business. The Plaza provides structure, accountability, and friendships that drive my business forward."

Stacy Braiuca

"The Plaza brings us together, turning online interactions into real connections. I’ve met clients through the networking events, even when I wasn’t present in my office... It’s helped me organize my concepts and serve my clients more meaningfully. The virtual experience here feels real and tangible—past what traditional online rooms offer. The Plaza makes my business more accessible and effective."
