​In a world where "time is money"...

​How do we build businesses that resist the linear schedule and honor natural, people-first rhythms?

​The Beat of Business introduces a polychronic approach to strategy, presenting proven, Indigenous-informed models of commerce beyond capitalism.

​Exploring the role of storykeeping in communications and the relational skill of emotional momentum for consent-based marketing, this conversation aims to recalibrate "professional pace" and reinstate the beneficial rhythms essential for collective economic harmony.

​Join Indigenous Business Strategist Clarinda Tivoli for an in-person evening talanoa - a sharing of stories, skills and an inspired brainstorm of strategic, liberatory futures.

​***Exact Time and Location Soon TBD. Plan for 2-3 hours, in a central and accessible location. If you purchase a ticket but cannot attend once the location or time is confirmed, refund requests will be granted.***

​This talk is open to all (solo entrepreneurs/teams) who are looking to break out of traditional professional etiquette, marketing or entrepreneurial operative norms, and step into healthy, people-first business practices. Folx at any stage of business or leadership experience are welcome, and encouraged.

​What They Say

​"I was blown away by the work of Clarinda Tivoli who believes business is a form a ceremony. She teaches decolonizing business strategies that are rooted in Samoan and Fijian culture. You should hear her talk about approaching marketing as a reclamation of your own sovereignty..."
"Her work exploring business as ceremony is groundbreaking and a powerful reminder of older ways of carrying out commerce and exchanges. Let's go!"

​“[Clarinda’s workshop] felt like an invitation to recenter dignity in the way we imagine doing business. Humble and necessary. I was reminded of the importance of embodying my story and the ways my business can further embolden the connection between me and my ancestors.

​“I found the framework to be very unique and refreshing compared to other marketing courses I have taken in the past. I like Clarinda's incorporation of her background into her work and I felt like I was able to connect with her story. I found the focus on creating a small, curated community and being very specific about your offerings to be super helpful.”

​- Seyi Adeyinka | Founder of Solar Flux

​“...I have unique offerings like white ancestral healing workshops and decolonial approaches to offering and teaching reiki, as a biracial Japanese American. I learned there are ways I can work with small groups of people to get my message across in a genuine and interdependent way.”

​“It helped me fully realize that there is success and profit to be found in doing business in a way that not only does no harm, but spreads positive seeds in your community. It confirmed my deepest hopes and intuitive knowings about how I want to run my own business. So much of what we've learned about business is stuck in masculine, old and, frankly, harmful ways of thinking and I look forward to breaking that cycle with the teachings Clarinda shared.

​- Graciela Rasor | Writer, Artist & Human Design Reader

​“This was exactly what I was looking for without knowing it. I am an impact-driven writer. I spent years researching current marketing techniques without putting them into practice, because those methods felt wrong (my audience is primarily children). I didn’t understand why—until this course. Clarinda laid out the hidden harm in the current widespread marketing practices simply and effectively, so that I better understood what I was avoiding and why.

​Better yet, Clarinda offered us a people-oriented approach to business and business promotion to sink into: developing an eco-system of community around our offerings, one that has room and plenty to nourish both those we serve and us as the community-holders.

​I highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a way to make long-lasting positive impact.”

​“Clarinda captured so much of what I’ve felt about marketing (the ickiness, the manipulation, the disregard for humanity) with clear, compelling, thoughtfully researched and experienced language, then offered an inspiring, sustainable path out. Plus, she’s super gracious—sending follow-up emails, answering big, hard questions, and accommodating with integrity and generosity. I highly recommend.”

​- Kate Raykovich | Writer

​“It did exceed my expectations because the workshop made sense to all the conflicting emotions I've felt in the past with business. I have been trained to make sales using fear and "the close" and seeing people as dollar signs; it was not right for me. I always felt like I was working for a scam and it created such resentment for me as an employer that quitting jobs became a favorite past time until I started working for myself. I'm amazed at how much unlearning happened for me within just the first two days. I feel that I've been given marketing tools to make my business expansive with the potential to metamorphosis into something phenomenal.”
