324: Creating Strategic Collaborations with Cara Steinmann [Marketing Series]

We’re continuing our series on how marketing is changing and new approaches you can take to more effectively connect with your audiences and prospective clients.

Last week, I kicked off this series on how we’re ditching the traditional hero’s journey framework for marketing and how here at SYB we’re approaching marketing.

I knew I had to have on as my guest today, Cara Steinmann, for this series.

I met Cara last fall and when we had a consult call and I learned about the work she does around relationship building and strategic collaborations, I was instantly intrigued.

I got to know Cara over the past couple of months as she went through our Thought Leader Academy.

In this episode, Cara and I talk about:

• What strategic relationships and collaborations look like
• Why who you see as a competitor may be the perfect person for a collaboration
• Why you don’t need to be an extrovert to be good at networking
• How to go about building strategic relationships
• Why Cara decided to join our Thought Leader Academy and what her experience was

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
