One of the key elements of becoming an Authority is the people you surround yourself with. In 2020 four women, Kim Thompson-Pinder, Samantha King, Carol Boston, and Krystle Dookoo all met at an online networking meeting and found that not only did they all really like each other but had valuable skills, talents, and abilities that could help each other grow their businesses faster.
In October they decided to become the Authority Gang and over the next year, they have dedicated themselves to become a force to be reckoned with as they teach, train, and support entrepreneurs in the seven key business building blocks: Authority Marketing, Sales, Communication, Networking, Social Media, Promotion, and Leadership. You will be seeing the four of them all over social media and once a month featured here on the podcast.
In today’s episode, they will introduce themselves and we talk about what is Authority and who you have to become to obtain it.

I am known as the Queen of Reframe, for I can reframe almost any challenge and give you a new way of viewing it and a strategic plan to take you in a new direction. I help women business owners to know their value, own their power and advocate for themselves, so they can rise up and become the Lioness Leaders they were created to be! My clients describe me as “relentless” in making sure they get amazing results and many of them double or triple their income!
