KD - As Seen In 2022

I’m Kelly Diels

I’m a thinker, teacher and coach for culture makers.

My research & frameworks help you get out of shame and into power — so you can make the difference you’re dreaming of.

In your business, your life, and the lives of others.

I know that yes, we’re shaped by what we’re born into.

But nope, that’s not the end of the story.

Let’s Shape Back.

Because We Are The Culture Makers.

I admit, I’m not Generation X or Y.

I’m Generation O, for Oprah.

Oprah says use your life and I take it to heart.

I believe in

  • Using your life to make a difference in other people lives.
  • Changing conditions (and conditioning) so everyone can flourish.
  • Growing your talents, your skills, your power and your influence so you can flourish, too — right now, not just in some hypothetical future.

In other words:
I believe in being a culture maker.

ere’s the problem…

A lot of what we do and say — and even what we think — is predetermined by our conditioning and our material conditions.

In other words, the voice of culture is OFTEN working through us without our consent.

But culture isn’t just ‘out there’ or something that happens to us.

It happens through us.

If all of us disappeared tomorrow, so would our culture -- which means we are the vector.

And that reveals a huge opportunity: we get to choose how to deliberately use our culture-making power.

Instead of letting a toxic culture flow through us, we can learn how to interrupt it — and then use our skills & power to make a better one.

In our businesses, our lives and the world we live in, together.

Yes, we can learn so much from the examples of people who’ve done innovative, enduring, culture-changing work...

AND.

The examples of iconic culture makers can also be object lessons in what NOT to do in our work and world we’re co-creating.

Don’t let the optics (esp of righteousness) do the thinking for us.

Yesterday I wrote that you might not need a HUGE list to accomplish your revenue goal for 2024, and walked you through you a quick calculation for figuring out the actual list size you need.⁠
⁠
Today I want to follow up on that...⁠
⁠
What comes after the calculation? ⁠
⁠
Planning + Doubling Down.⁠
⁠
Now that you know the list number you need,(#putanumberonit), it's time to make a specific plan for achieving it. ⁠
⁠
That means devising a daily and quarterly plan of activities.⁠
⁠
🌺 What activities currently add people to your list? ⁠
⁠
1)	Make sure those activities include a call to action. (Eg put your newsletter link in your link tree, add hemlines to all your posts reminding people to sign up to your newsletter)⁠
⁠
2)	Double down on the ones that work for you. (Eg If Instagram works, post a specific “Hey! I have a newsletter!” post 1-3X a week and go Live in your Stories more; if blog posts work, publish more blog posts and add content upgrades to them; if live appearances work, host more in-person events, go on more podcasts and virtual events…)⁠
⁠
🌺 Put list-building events on your calendar every quarter⁠
⁠
Is there one event you could implement each quarter to add a couple hundred people (or couple thousand) to your list? (Eg challenges, free webinars, online summits…)⁠
⁠
Yes, List-building IS revenue building…⁠
and no, you might not need that big of a list to achieve your goal revenue. ⁠
⁠
And list-building doesn't happen by itself. ⁠
⁠
It's not about posting and hoping people sign up. It's about creating quarterly events and daily invitations so that people DO sign up.⁠
⁠
So...what's your plan?⁠
⁠
What are the daily invitations you're going to issue?⁠
⁠
What are the quarterly events you'll schedule?⁠
⁠
⁠
