Thought Leader Grows Niche Audience and Offerings

As a thought leader, Melody Wilding knew her gifts could help even more people by focusing on highly sensitive professionals (HSPs). Though ambitious, running her business solo meant constant overwhelm.

Melody began working with Rebekah to prioritize her goals and build systems to optimize operations. This freed up Melody’s time to develop signature programs and IP for “Sensitive Strivers.”

With the support of Rebekah and her team over several years, Melody has published books, created courses, grown revenue, and become a sought-after speaker. Melody credits Rebekah for providing essential support strategy to scale her business and gifts. As Melody stated, “You have a talent for operating at every level – you’re able to get down in the weeds to figure out why something isn’t working, but then are also able to zoom out and conceptualize how everything fits together.”

Today Melody is a thriving thought leader for Sensitive Strivers. Rebekah and the Sidecar team gave her the time and support to share her message widely.

"You've free up SO much mental bandwidth for me"

You have talent for operating at every level. You're able to get down in the weeds to figure out why something isn't working, but then able to zoom out and conceptualize how it fits together. You've taken the time to understand my business and audience inside and out, which means you make smart, strategic suggestions that are right for me, even if that's different from the "norm" and what gurus say. You're always looking for opportunities to optimize, streamline, simplify and add more value to my people – whether that's content ideas or new offerings. I deeply appreciate having you as a trusted thought partner. Your professionalism is so assuring and calming. I always know that things are getting done and to the utmost standard of quality. You've freed up SO much mental bandwidth for me, not only because things are getting done, but also because you've built a team and I know there are processes and systems in place. It's like magic.

Career Coach Focuses on Ideal Niche and Achieves Work-Life Balance

After 20 years of offering three broad services, career coach Diane felt overwhelmed trying to serve clients in different life stages. At 70, she wanted to scale back her coaching practice and focus on the niche she loved most.

Unsure how to transition her well-established business, Diane began working with Rebekah, using her SHIFT framework. Together they evaluated Diane’s offerings and devised a strategic plan that would allow her to narrow to just one core service – without reducing revenue.

With this new laser focus, Diane re-energized her passion for coaching college seniors exclusively. She maintained her income while cutting her workload in half. According to Diane, Rebekah “helped me sort out priorities and showed me how to articulate what I bring to the table.”

Through strategic mentoring, Diane reinvented her business on her own terms. She now enjoys more work-life balance while providing focused career coaching that fulfills her.

Consultant Expands Client Reach While Retaining Personalized Approach

As an educational consultant, Stephanie cherishes guiding high school students through the college application process, but her comprehensive sometimes multi-year program only allowed a handful of clients. She wanted to expand her impact without sacrificing the personal attention she offers and that her clients appreciate.

Stephanie began working with Rebekah to help her get organized and evaluate the possibilities. Together, they identified opportunities for additional standalone service offerings focused on specific student needs within the college process.

With this strategic shift, Stephanie now helps more students with extended and specialized consulting. Her updated website and branding reflect this expanded, yet personalized approach. As Stephanie shared, Rebekah empowered her to “go from only working with a few clients to having offerings for students at any phase.”

Stephanie achieved her goal of greater impact while retaining the high-touch service she loves. Her next step is to scale her methodology to help even more students.

"I now have a business that is unique – since it reflects me – which has been a significant factor in my success."

You have helped me move my business forward in ways I never could have imagined. You see things both in me and in the business world that I cannot see for myself, and you always make me feel seen, heard, and understood. Your unwavering compassion and kindness consistently creates a safe space for me to be vulnerable and honest, and I'm amazed at your ability to take the insights you glean from our (sometimes messy) conversations and turn them into practical improvements, often right away. One of your most extraordinary gifts is in helping business owners develop more fully into who they are, guided by their own passions, strengths, visions and values. You are the first professional who didn't push me to develop my business by conforming to traditional, cookie-cutter standards and approaches that didn't feel true to what's meaningful to me, or to how I wanted to serve the clients who entrust me with supporting them. As a result, I now have a business that is unique, since it reflects me, which has been a significant factor in my success.
