Conscious Marketing with Matthew Bellringer

Matthew Bellringer describes himself as a “Divergent Pathfinder - Taking a curious step into the uncharted with people who can't do "more of the same" as well as "supporting divergent individuals and the organisations which value them.” On this Marketing Masterclass, we talk to someone who has made it their business to give permission - to themselves and to others who may be struggling with navigating the world as it is. So much of the marketing that we practice as part of the Better Bolder Braver community is around giving ourselves permission - permission to ask of ourselves the coaching questions that we ask of others and then understanding how to capitalise on the answers in terms of how we build our businesses and put ourselves out there. Rather than constantly trying to squeeze ourselves into a box - to fit in and do what everyone else does and what we think we are “supposed to do”, we like to feel we can be ourselves, have a unique but workable and productive approach and be understood, seen and useful to others as a result. We will be talking to Matthew about quietly reinventing professions, challenging long-held assumptions, and engaging with the big, messy, tangled problems that affect us all. We’ll discuss thriving on one's own terms, rather than fitting into a pre-existing box, and the edge that involves implicitly challenging conventional ways of doing things by being both different-and-successful. Ahead of the session, please consider this: What is it to establish something new? How can we engage with that which isn't fully explained/understood yet, particularly when that forms a part of our professional practice? And what it is to do well when this kind of exploration is one of your great skills? Matthew is a consultant-facilitator and educator. He works with people and organisations taking fresh approaches to deep-rooted, complex problems, developing the ability to thrive in uncertainty. He specialises in work with the unique talents of neurodivergent professionals, academics and entrepreneurs. His background is in IT, Higher Education, psychology and entrepreneurship.
