Meet Dennise – the broad behind the Relationship First! Approach™.
I meet so many women who are ready for their second act. They have the time to focus on something with purpose that they’re passionate about. Most of the time, it’s an entrepreneurial endeavor, and they need support (and a gentle kick in the pants) to create a flow of referrals to sell more of their services.
I’m a “2nd Act” business broad myself. I developed the Relationship First! Approach™ to help other female, service-based business owners get more clients by creating client-centered marketing strategies to grow their businesses.
As a former radio DJ, a world traveler, rambunctious storyteller, professional actor, and CEO of BroadBrand Enterprises, I’m a huge fan of bringing people together to do good things in the world. The one crucial thing I learned early on was that building relationships was THE way to consistent business growth and success.
My career has spanned from nonprofit work to community radio management to now owning my own business, CTD Creative Consulting LLC, where I provide online marketing support to women business owners who seek to grow their business by building meaningful connections in the digital space.
Four reasons why my Relationship First! Approach™ is different from other marketing services:
1. My extensive expertise with all kinds of media, ranging from radio to social media.
2. I focus on both your online and relationship marketing strategies.
3. My system and tools are based on your business needs.
4. My mission is to empower other women business owners to understand and leverage their marketing tools to grow their service-based businesses.
Your focus is to bring the brilliant thing you do into the world. If you want to get the message out about the fantastic service you offer, you’re going to need to make connections, build relationships, and maintain them to spread the word and make money. As a business relationship consultant, I use strategies to empower women like you to grow a successful business. My mission is to share my knowledge and support you as a growing, woman-led business by sharing my expertise, tools, and tips with you.

My mission in life is to inspire and motivate other Second Act women to live a life on purpose. I do this through transformative events, insightful media, and strategic consulting. I am dedicated to empowering women to reclaim their passions through joyful, meaningful experiences. I love living a big life, one small adventure at a time, and I share my stories on social media and as a lifestyle blogger called The Adventure Broad. I also host a women’s social group called Dames Who Do RI that hikes, dines, and attends other fun events in the community. I discovered a passion for performing and stepped into the world of acting where you can spot me in the ballroom scene of the final episode of Season One of The Gilded Age.
As a fan of storytelling and motivational chutzpah, I am a BIG fan of inspiring others to connect with each other and pursue their best lives.
