des oā€™connor
I create women business experts worldwide, inspire them to lead, and empower
them to speak on stage. I’m honoured to be an award-winning entrepreneur and
industry-leading business coach, having received recognition such as: 2013
Relationship Coach of the Year – Association for Professional Coaches, Trainers,
and Consultants (APCTC) Bestselling Author – contributing author to “Coach
Wisdom” Founder of Social Media Marketing Events Founder of Women In Business
Events International Speaker; has spoken at business and professional
conferences throughout the UK, Dubai and in the U.S. and other international
markets But the most important recognition to me is the fulfillment and meaning
that comes from making a positive difference in my clients lives, and building a
stronger community for all of us as entrepreneurs and business leaders. More
about me… I have extensive experience as a coach, consultant, social media
marketing expert, and entrepreneur. I am passionate about personal and
professional development and helping people get more out of life; I believe in
the power of education and personal development to inspire people to make
transformations in their lives. I’ve seen it happen for so many people, again
and again! After several years of successful experience as a professional
speaker, I realised that there was a problem in our industry. Too many speaker
line-up sat industry events and conferences were all men. There were not very
many women being featured to speak on stage. I knew that this was a massive
problem. After all, I have worked with so many talented, amazing women who are
entrepreneurs and experts and business leaders; why were there not more
opportunities for women to speak on stage and be recognised as in-demand
business experts? That’s why I decided to start my Des O’Connor Women In
Business (WIB) events. I launched my first Women In Business event in London in
September 2017, with the goal of inspiring women to become business experts,
build brands, deliver value to their clients, and sell their expertise to a
global audience. In the years since, I have put more than 150 people on stage at
my events (many of them women, many first-time speakers) and I have helped
create a more expansive community for women in business (and men too). I also
provide business consulting for business experts, entrepreneurs, professional
speakers, coaches, and companies that need help with social media marketing,
digital marketing, webinar marketing, website development, online lead
generation, and more. My clients include: Business Experts: Are you looking
start a business for the first time, or build the brand of your existing
business? Do you have expertise in a particular field that you’d like to learn
how to make into a viable business model? I can work with you to launch your
business and help you make money with your unique expertise. Professional
Speakers: I empower business experts to speak on stage at my packed-out live
events! Whether you are a first-time speaker, or if you already are speaking on
stage as part of your business marketing or business model, I can help you get
better quality speaking opportunities – including international speaking
opportunities. Coaches and Corporate Trainers: I have extensive experience as a
coach and professional/personal development expert. I work with some of the best
coaches in the industry to help them get better clients, expand their audiences,
build their brand, and get paid while they sleep with digital information
products (CDs, MP3s, MP4 videos, webinars, etc.) that they can sell worldwide
from their website. Authors: Do you want to write a book as part of your
business and brand? I can help connect you with publishing resources, book
marketing, social media marketing to boost the audience for your book, and I
also produce packed-out live Book Launch events for authors. I don’t just put
people on stage, I provide comprehensive marketing and brand strategy consulting
to help my clients maximise their success on every level. Digital Marketing and
Sales Funnels: I help my clients turn their websites into sales machines. There
are lots of web designers in the world and you can often get websites designed
very cheaply, but unfortunately most web designers do not understand how to
systemise your clients’ journeys. I help you create a focused website marketing
strategy with built-in sales funnels and CRM (customer relationship management)
tools, so that you can generate a conversation with your prospective clients,
lead them to sign up for further communications and a deeper relationship, and
even better, to inspire your clients to order your products and services. High
Quality Lead Generation and Networking: I advise and help my clients (with a
variety of packages of services) on how to form their message, improve clarity
of their brand and value proposition, and promote them to my extensive network
of contacts to drive leads to them and take these new business leads on a
journey to build relationships and increase rapport so that you can easily
convert them into paying clients. Des O’Connor Shoes: I am passionate about
personal and professional development. My entire career has focused on helping
people to learn, get inspired, get motivated, and get better at various aspects
of their professional and personal lives. So that’s why I’m excited to launch my
new line of shoes, Des O’Connor Shoes. These are the world’s first shoes that
empower women to improve all aspects of their personal and professional lives.
