How is The Design Paradigm philosophy different?

It is no secret to those who know Cheryl well, to understand how her world view of business and marketing has evolved from a long time study of behavioral psychology and a deep passion and understanding of how quirky consumer behavior can influence the decision making process. How to harness this understanding in the business of design, a high touch and emotional business, is a big part of her success. 

This outlook influences the way she coaches Interior Designers about business, marketing and the growth of their business. 

Along with this unique vantage point, there is the wealth of experience running a successful firm with 20 of the 22 years with a team. These insights will shape what you take away from The Design Paradigm. She and Liz are working actively in the trenches along side you dealing with the same daily learning opportunities. Liz brings a wealth of knowledge of small business operations, hands on project management experience and amazing insight into what makes a successful project tick. And she writes a mean email! 

The live workshops alone are vastly different than what others are offering as we are committed to each and every person enrolled in the annual program. This is BETTER than one on one coaching. It gives you the benefit of three ways to hear the messaging and understand the business model. And you are a single person to us–not part of a group. Please understand this is different than anything you have seen before as most do not address the individual business.

This is why we ask you to fill out a specific assessment for us–we want to know YOU. 

Our greatest strength is the unique approach we take to building a business-one layer at a time.

Business and marketing coaching for Interior Designers who embrace being held accountable and want to elevate to the next level–whatever that looks like for you.
