Before F+BI, I was hiding behind the nickname — now I’m proud of coco THE BRAND + the power behind it. The program got me clearer on my brand and how I want to communicate with my audience. Sitting in a room receiving feedback from experts with different skill sets was like calling on all the gods to put their powers together. I’m blessed to have coaches who are genuinely invested in our success, and the team development piece helped me own my role as talent + founder.
With this program it definitely has my wheels turning. It makes me eager to learn more and change my mindset. The bragging rights masterclass changed my mindset. I feel bad for anybody getting left back. If they were sleeping before, they are definitely going to be sleeping now. They are not going to be able to catch the new Darrell. Y’all are actually in tune with what I am doing. This is my first time being in this kind of environment.

“When I entered the Construction + Public Art Design Institute my problem was that I was depending exclusively on applying for grants to finance my dream of building a co-housing community. The coaches helped me identify a source of income in the meantime – we were relying heavily on securing a grant and the kindness of investors, but not really doing the work to show that we are deserving of being invested in. The workshops not only provide an opportunity for income, but also for recruiting for our survey, focus groups and, most importantly, members. It also helps us to begin meeting the educational component of our mission.”

Having a solid team of people who help you meet and exceed your goals is CRITICAL to your success. You will gain clarity and develop a plan to build an irreplaceable team that helps you achieve your goals, remain accountable for your vision and be able to complete the tasks you cannot.
Visual and verbal communication stand out as two distinct, interconnected means of expression. As a growing industry thought leader it is critical you confidently express your thoughts and ideas to connect with others on a deeper level. You will enhance your ability to articulate your message in a way that drives people to take action.
It is critical to ensure you have internal financial controls, from a budget to accounting best practices. Grant writing will help you secure funds to support personal and business growth, from supporting the hiring of new team members to your participation in continuing education. Financial management and grant writing go hand in hand.
“Before the F+BI program, I was unsure of what coco THE BRAND would look like. I came in feeling like I was hiding behind the nickname but I am moving forward feeling proud of coco, what the brand represents + the power behind it. Being in the program really helped me to get clearer on my brand and how I want to communicate with my audience. It’s been extremely powerful to sit in a room + receive feedback from experts with different skill sets. It was like what happens when you call on all the gods to put their powers together. I know that I am unable to complete everything I need on my own + I am blessed to have a support system in place. It’s been great having coaches + industry experts who are really interested in seeing us be successful. Plus, the team development section has helped me to clearly define + own my role as talent + founder.”
