S5 E19: “Value Whisperer” Melitta Campbell
As you may have noticed, I've been a bit focused on my Higher⚡️Voltage event lately. This week I am on our guest's podcast, The Art of Value Whispering, and she is on mine!
Today's guest is Melitta Campbell, aka the Value Whisperer, and she is going to be at Higher⚡️Voltage on 22nd January at Battersea Power Station in London giving attendees signed copies of her newest book, “Value Whispering: The Smarter Way to Market Your Small Business (That Just Happens To Be Brilliant for Introverts)”.
We had a fantastic discussion today about how Melitta became the “Value Whisperer,” what value whispering even is, and how identifying as an introvert has played a huge part in her brand and business.
We also talk about Melitta's corporate background, the first incarnation of her own business, and how she realized she needed to shift direction. She now works with people who are doing their own thing in business for themselves (aka the Higher⚡️Voltage audience!), so we trace how she got there, the skills that she uses to help that audience, and my absolute favorite part, the personal gifts that she brings to that work that enables her to create such transformative results.
(And if you’d like your own free, autographed copy of “Value Whispering,” head over to my Higher⚡️Voltage event for solopreneurs at Battersea Power Station in London on 22 January, 2026!)
