Meet Your Coach - Ioana Hardy Founder & managing Director @IMPACTERS gROUP Ioana is a sought-after “Marketing for Sustainability” trainer, coach and speaker with more than 20 years of international expertise in building and growing brands in multinationals and start-ups. She started her career managing brands at local and then global level for multinationals like LG Electronics, Orkla Foods or Nestle; she learnt from and worked with some of the best in the industry and award-winning agencies. Ioana launched her first business (www.fast-forward-marketing.ch) in 2008, a boutique consultancy helping brands differentiate themselves on the international markets. As with many start-ups, it wasn't an easy ride - she experienced first hand the feast and famine cycle, went through a burnt-out and learnt how to create a predictable system for her business and consistently achieve 5 figure months, without a team. She "entered" the sustainability world in 2015, the year of the Paris Agreement and the birth of the SDGs. In 2019, she decided to leave Fast Forward behind and start her new business - at the intersection of what she is best at (marketing & business) and what she loves & believe in the most (sustainability). Impacters Group was born with a very clear MISSION - to equip entrepreneurs who solve social and environmental challenges with the knowledge and tools needed to market themselves more effectively - and thus to be able to grow their business and amplify their impact. The Amplify Accelerator is one of the ways in which this mission is brought to life. It is the culmination of years of tried and tested tactics and tools, inside and outside the sustainability space. Besides growing Impacters Group, Ioana sits on Executive Boards and advisory teams promoting sustainable goals, is an Ellen MacArthur Circular Economy Pioneer and an active SDG activist. |
AMPLIFY Curriculum Overview
AMPLIFY is a path to success.
You just need to follow the steps and implement every week.
Trust the process and you will get the results.
"I can warmly recommend Ioana's program. To me, it made the difference between spending much time and effort in networking and trying to attract business through LinkedIn posts and get tangible results and a predictable, growing but sustainable business.
I've learned so much in just ten weeks, even after being in consulting and business development for over 20 years. I learned to unlearn selling to prospects but rather 'finding a fit' with 'ideal clients'. This enables me to use my authenticity as a force to attract the right customers.
Also, I got to know a one-of-a-kind group of like-minded people across Europe, inspiring and encouraging each other in this sometimes tough journey. I feel privileged, grateful and just re-energized through this journey together".
"Having recently completed the Amplify Accelerator, I can hands-down testify to its incredible results!
Ioana isn't simply a business coach, but a true mentor, a leader and someone that inspires 100% with the heart ! She helped me clarify what my solutions are, for whom, and helped me craft the channels through which to find and engage with the right people, in the right way.
Today, the sustainability field is getting very crowded, and I think now more than ever, solopreneurs like myself have to take the opportunity to doubledown on our values, our talents, our assets and our personalities, to shape and drive the transition we want to see !!
And Ioana can help you do so!"
"Before joining the Amplify Accelerator, I was unsecure about where to find my next clients. Also, I was looking for a better way to express my message, more in line with my values and principles.
I knew Ioana for some time and I was always amazed by the things I could learn from her. I heard she’s launching Amplify Accelerator, I decided to jump in.
During the 10 weeks, I created my irresistible offer, my pitch and my own client acquisition system. It wasn’t always easy for me (especially at the beginning) but with every week I felt more and more confident about how to identify prospects and convert them into clients.
I now know how to search for prospects and how to connect with them. I have several methods on how to get in touch and create awareness. In addition, I have a pitch script and a presentation of my B Corp services.
The program is intense, but the beauty is that all lessons are clear, approachable, with tons of resources, materials, and videos. Besides, I always felt Ioana by my side, or better, over my shoulder 😊. She was always present on slack answering our questions and giving us prompt feedback, supported us during the weekly coaching calls and constantly encouraging us to move forward and become better. For me, she is a growth master!
One of the best parts of the program is the community – we really helped each other, gave feedback, had buddy talks. It felt like we are part of a family and even if we crossed the finish line we are still in touch.
If you are really, really committed to grow your business, willing to work hard and follow Ioana’s advices, you are 100% guaranteed to succeed".
"When I signed up to AA I had done a couple of marketing courses of some type before. Good ones. But they had not made a significant difference to my progress. When I came across Amplify Accelerator it was: One last go.
And: The AA did make a difference.
It firmly allowed my to locate myself into the starting blocks towards a Goal that is now, finally, visible. It got me to see the systematics of the 'race' or 'obstacle course'. One where I don't know all hurdles yet, but know the type of hurdles I might encounter. And the type of strategies to look at and tackle them.
The course forced me to work the clarity of vision in my head.
The templates then helped to turn that vision into baby steps that can be taken one after another after another.
The most amazing component was without doubt the people I shared the journey with. Being a solo-preneur is most of the time a fairly lone effort. It's easy to wear oneself out. The community, and Ioana, had my back. I could count on Ioana for extra support and on the community for an extra ear, and extra brain, and an extra perspective.
I have spent many hours working on laying the groundwork for selling my solution during the AA - and there will be many more hours still to be invested. But as the saying goes 'every journey of a 1000 miles starts with a single step'. The AA has managed to draw the map of the 1000 mile journey, and giving me the tools to launch into it."
"Ioana’s instant ability to cut through complex challenges and offer pragmatic solutions deliver immediate results.
If you’re looking to expand your business, attract new clients, and improve your marketing, look no further.
Once you apply her ‘stick to the script’ advice, your business will grow exponentially. Her genuine passion and energy ensure her clients stay on track on the path to success!
If you are really, really committed to grow your business, willing to work hard and follow Ioana’s advices, you are 100% guaranteed to succeed".
"Thank you so so much for your effort and contribution to date for the 10 Billion cause.
I really enjoyed our session and I firmly believe the output from the session that you have articulated so well – is a fantastic platform us to build on.
I can’t wait to take more time reviewing this over the next couple of days and gather all of my thoughts, but initially – superb and I am really happy.
Thank you again Ioana - I am grateful and delighted to have got in touch with you."
