Let's face it. You've been through a lot these last 18 months. 

Why not give yourself the gift of time and space to process what's happened and imagine what could be next?

This virtual writing workshop can help you do just that.

Hi, I'm Mary Lou, the creator of the Write to Grow Collective.

I think we can all agree that it's been a challenging road for all of us since lockdown changed, well, everything. We've been pushed, pulled, spun around, and tossed in every direction from every angle.  Our faith has been tested. We've had to sift through misinformation, too many memes, and strings of emojis until it felt like our brains would explode.

We've asked big questions of ourselves and of others. Sometimes the answers excited us. Other times we were surprised at what our answers revealed.

I created the Write to Grow Collective as a way for professionals like you to process through writing what you're thinking about now, what you've been thinking about, and where you want to go next. Your experiences, insights, and ideas are important. Writing can help you make sense of things that don't always make sense. Your writing can help others make sense of their world, too.

At the core of this program is my belief that the time has come to usher in a golden age of critical thinking, one that is based on universal values, facts, and truth -- not group think, misinformation, and "junk thinking." Writing has always been one of the best ways to explore ideas, wrangle with big dreams, and practice thinking so that our decisions are more sound. So that we show up more confidently. So that what we express reflects who we are and what we stand for.

Let's build a powerful future together through words. 

I would love to have you join me!

"The world needs more people to step up and lead through our unique thinking, point of view, and experiences. Will you be one of us?"

 I'VE WORKED WITH EXCEPTIONAL THINKERS AND ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING: 

This is for you if you are an actively practicing coach, consultant, expert, small business owner, or executive who...

  • Is looking to fine-tune your voice as a leader in your field to differentiate yourself from everyone else who delivers similar products and services as you do
  • Likes to think deeply about specific topics, situations, and events and wants to start sharing your thoughts in a bigger way (e.g. book, blog, podcast, course)
  • Is concerned about the current decline of intelligent discourse online, especially around your industry
  • Wants to stop hiding, playing small, and letting inhibitions get in your way of taking the leap to your next level (take a hike, Imposter Syndrome!)
  • Values original thinking and wants to separate from the common and often careless "cookie cutter" content approach that's so boring, it's been nominated for the best yawn award twenty years standing
  • Believes you can bring a fresh, thought-provoking, and occasionally humorous perspective to a particular subject that adds value to an audience and the bigger conversation
  • Is a planner, a dreamer, a visionary, a doer who likes to laugh and doesn't take yourself too seriously
  • Wants to have the space and time to process your ideas through writing and receive friendly, encouraging feedback on what you write
  • Possesses a decent command of written English and wants to practice more to improve because everyone can always get better

 "This program offers unparalleled value for the caliber of instruction, content, and group experience you get."

What's in it for you when you become a part of the Write to Grow™ Collective?

Experential

Experience is the name of the game when it comes to transformation and results. You can't hide in my workshops. You will do work that is relevant to your professional life during our time together. You will test, experiment, and explore in real time with real feedback. And have a lot of fun doing it!

Small Group

I keep my programs intentionally small. Big enough to have energy and small enough so no one gets lost in the shuffle. Introverts and extroverts can engage together in ways where everyone feels included and heard. Accountability and feedback is baked in to the group experience.

Direct Instruction

I will share prepared content with you each week as a means of establishing context for the work you're doing. This portion of our time together is kept short so as to maximize time for collaboration, discovery, and feedback.

Access to Your Instructor

Unlike many online programs today that put you in a huge sea of other participants with little or no access to the instructor, I make myself available to you via email and text should you need to reach out between meetings with questions.  One of my primary goals when I teach is to create meaningful relationships with participants. Your success with the program is important to me!

about mary lou kayser

About Your Program Teacher, Mary Lou Kayser, MAT

Mary Lou has been teaching writing and helping people use writing strategically to develop themselves, their brands, and their thought leadership for more than 30 years. As a published author and podcaster with a show in the top 1% of all podcasts, Mary Lou has experienced first-hand the power that comes from putting your ideas down on paper and creating high-quality thought leadership for personal and professional growth.

Since 2012, she has helped launch the careers of several new thought leaders into the marketplace. As the host of the Play Your Position Podcast, she has published more than 400 episodes and built a solid platform where 250+ leaders from multiple industries have shared their ideas with the world in a bigger way.

What her clients tell her they want more than anything is for their writing to mean something while serving a specific purpose. Implementation, at the end of the day, is everything. That's why this workshop isn't about busy work, or diagramming sentences, or getting into a "Zen flow state."

The nuts and bolts of professional growth include consistently putting solid, intentional writing into place that is aligned with your goals as a thought leader. When you see your writing and thought leadership working for you, the energy you feel is unlike any other. You develop a new set of wings, or as Mary Lou's brother likes to say, "Now you're cooking with gas!"
