We are Douglass and Lisa-Marie Hatcher, husband-and-wife co-founders of communicate4IMPACT. Here’s our story. Each of us spent two decades in both Washington DC and New York crafting persuasive messages that sold big ideas and groundbreaking products. Douglass as a speechwriter; Lisa-Marie as an account development manager and a top-producing sales professional. Highlights for Douglass included: (1) writing a speech that received a rare standing ovation from the U.S. Senate—as well as (2) boosting the visibility of a global payments CEO on stages such as Davos and in publications such as the Harvard Business Review. Highlights for Lisa-Marie included improving profitability of corporate T&E accounts with combined annual revenues of $1 billion+ as well as attaining a top 5% national sales ranking in a challenging cardiovascular product market. In 2017, we walked away from supporting leaders in Fortune 100 companies to start a communications training company focused on business storytelling. Today, we train solopreneurs to create better content faster, so they can spend less time marketing and more time monetizing what they love.
