Digital Solutions Mentoring Program

Helping vision-focused business owners take strategic action to build and streamline their brand

Made in Narm, Melbourne
Serving clients globally

Are you wearing all the hats in your business?

Over time, you may have added offerings that no longer fit in, felt burnt out from marketing or Frankenstein-ed your branding.

Instead, you want your business to feel spacious, with the right strategies and systems for your next launch or rebrand.

Our mentoring services have been designed to help you cultivate clarity, streamline and re-align your brand so you can focus on the right things to move your business forwards.

What's mentoring with Jo like?

Whilst every mentor in the Digital Solutions Program will have a different approach, your mentoring sessions with me (Jo) will feel intuitive, strategic, in-depth and practical.

My intention is that you leave each session feeling understood and empowered with the right tools, strategy and next action steps to make high-impact changes in your business.

I personalise each session for you and where you are in your business so you can feel fully supported. At the end of your mentoring session, you will receive access to a collaborative Google Document with recorded notes, prompts and action steps from our time together.

Q4
What's not Covered in mentoring?

I specialise in the areas of branding, brand strategy, brand identity, design, packaging design, offering and product design, website design and marketing.

The areas that are not in my wheelhouse are brand naming, ads, copywriting, Google analytics and seo.

Mentoring support happens exclusively during the 3 mentoring sessions and does not include email support outside these times.

About your sessions

here's three ways to get the most from our time together

Keeping an open mind

Staying curious, asking questions, and being actively engaged in solving the core challenges together are crucial for a successful session. These sessions are interactive in that I'm not going to tell you what to do. However, we're going to figure out the plan together. Please note mentoring may also include auditing and coaching to help you move forward.

Proactive action

The mentoring clients who had the most success from our time together are the ones who are proactive before, during, and after the sessions. They show up prepared, take their own notes, proactively add to their Engagement Plan (Google Docs), and go above and beyond to complete the agreed actions from the sessions.

Aligned strategic thinking

During 3 hours of mentoring, we can expect to work on one specific area of your business to build an aligned, strategic plan for it. This is typically the area of your business that may be holding you back from moving forward the most. If you require more support across other areas of business, we can chat further about working together after your Digital Mentoring program is completed.

Kind words

From mentoring clients

Great expertise, insights and advice. A very constructive experience.

Andrew Thompson

Jo was so knowledgable and helpful. She is a wonderful mentor and gets through a lot of application/information. Would highly recommend Jo.

Annette Brewer

Jo has been a tremendous help for my business. Jo helped me define an appropriate brand archetype and create framework for my branding. She was able to quickly understood the needs of my business and how to connect to my target market. I feel much better about areas of my business that I was unsure about. Thanks so much. I highly recommend Jo!

Blair O'Hara

I feel so fortunate and thankful to have Jo ChunYan mentor me on my business branding journey.  It was so amazing how Jo guided me step by step to get more clarity about my offerings in my business and help me not just redesign my brand but also my new website. Highly recommend. Thank you Jo!

Gurwinder Sokhi

She helped me with my brand archetype and personality like no other mentor has and now I feel like I know the real essence of my brand so much more. She has helped me plan effective and affordable ways to market my brand by prioritizing on what needs to be worked on first, to not waste time. She also helped me with product and pricing suggestions.

Helen Karamitros

I had an incredible experience working with Jo as my mentor. Her patience, knowledge, and insights on website design and UX/UI were invaluable. She also shared fantastic content ideas. Thanks again Jo!

Jamie-Lee Kay

The series gave me a renewed sense of purpose and that I can finish something that I start!

This coaching series gave me deep insight into how I behave, how much was on my plate and helped me prioritise the things that were important to me first. It gave me the tools to support me to achieve all my dreams!

Jo Lippold

I absolutely loved working with Jo and I can highly recommend to other business owners needing some heart- centred guidance and support.

Marianne Ellis

Jo has been so helpful in assisting with the challenges I was facing as a multi-passionate creative and helped me gain some much needed clarity.  I felt very supported as Jo navigated how we could begin diffusing the noise of too many ideas and get clear on one simple strategy to follow.I really benefited from her expert knowledge, empathic nature and intuitive approach.

Marianne Ellis

Jo’s caring, grounded energy, wise and thoughtful coaching continues to give me the courage to set gorgeous self-care rituals, act intentionally and let my intuition take the steering wheel. I will forever be grateful for my coaching sessions with Jo.

Micala Duvoux

This coaching journey helped me reroute my energy into routines and daily life structures that allowed my best self to show up everyday.

My biggest challenge prior to working with Jo was learning how to commit to myself and create discipline in my practices. Working with Jo helped ease this fear because she was a constant source for grounding my vision. I could see the progress I was making forward after each call. Jo helped me get into better alignment with my energetic phases while also guiding me to tools, software and programs to ease my creative journey forward.

Pilar Ayala

Jo is amazingly intuitive and has a keen eye on what's progressive and how you can fit your brand in the modern landscape whilst honouring your true nature. I loved our session, it works within my own work of finding your individual expression. Thank you for your guidance and enthusiasm. It was a a really fun session.

Sandra Radja

Jo is results-oriented, insightful and enormously encouraging as a coach. She provides a clear pathway forwards; elegant and curated.

This coaching series required me to face the ways I had been holding myself back from the creative expression I craved. Jo kept me action-orientated, and kept me focused on myself and pushed me to re-look at my working habits.

Sarah Williams

She encouraged me to experiment with authentic ways to make active changes in my life and inspired me to challenge my old beliefs and live my life a little more playfully. I now have a clear understanding on where I need to spend my energy and what to prioritise and feel empowered knowing that the values I chose to live by is going to continue to support me to feel more in alignment in my life.

Sarah Williams

Thanks Jo, both times your advice has been 10/10. Highly recommend.
