Improving your communications & outreach is a game changer for work & life. 

Grounded and Rising brings together people who want to build connections with key audiences, improve trust and design better communications and outreach strategies and approaches for doing just that.

Whether you are looking for an on-going community or a single class, Grounded and Rising is the place you have been looking for and the network you need.

What Grounded and Rising Delivers

Live Sessions of Discovery

It is easy to get in a routine and that may feel comfortable. We all do it. It may also let us miss new opportunities, especially the ones that may seem far away. Grounded and Rising is built to provide ideas, information and connections that make it easier to stay in tune with what is happening in communications and our culture. Each month we host a live session to talk with people with different perspectives about the topics that are driving and impacting human behavior. Read more about live sessions here.

Connections that Understand & Assist

There are lots of people interested in connecting with various target audiences and communications and marketing strategy can make that easier. Grounded and Rising provides a place for those people to rise together. We create a community of shared availability of people who are seeking to improve their businesses and industry through improved communications and outreach... Being a part of the community is something that really helps fuel us all! 

Updates on Communications Tools, Tech & Tips

The positive impacts technology and tools have on communications presents us with a wealth of resources that help us stay up on those. Things change constantly & who has time to sift through all the noise? We do that for you & deliver breaking news to members. Our courses let you learn from the best & the newsletter & community can help you stay on top of big buckets, changes in algorithms with one stop rather than loading your inbox. 

The Power of Community

Strong communities that see the benefit of sharing ideas and working together. The Grounded Community provides all of that along with the motivation of a team focused on building a depth of understanding that currently takes an immense amount of time and effort to develop. Sharing information, hosting discussions with people who are working toward similar growth goals will let you turn to one place for the big picture so you can spend more time on your efforts.

The Training You Want

When You Have the Time 

Getting access to classes and training to help you level up has been dependent on meetings in real-time for so long. And there is a certain cycle -- winter and summer meetings. While in-person training is an amazing way to learn, there are a lot of things that could be accomplished after morning chores or once littles have gone to bed. These classes will be here when you have the time, interest or drive to jump into a new topic or tool.
