A leadership consultant who had never done video, never gone live, and never published a newsletter — now hosts frequent LinkedIn Lives, creates short-form video, and has published a weekly newsletter for 18+ months straight.
Ann Bedford-Flood is a leadership consultant based in Houston, Texas who had never recorded a video, never gone live, and never published a newsletter before joining Growth Academy. She now hosts frequent LinkedIn Live events, creates short-form video regularly, runs H-Town Leaders’ Circle — a weekly newsletter with nearly 4,000 subscribers published for 18+ months straight — and has doubled her LinkedIn following.

Ann had a solid professional reputation and deep expertise in leadership development. But her LinkedIn presence didn’t reflect it. She had never created a video, never gone live, never published a newsletter. Her content strategy was limited, and the idea of putting herself on camera felt completely outside her comfort zone.
She needed more than tips. She needed a complete system — and the daily accountability to actually follow through.
Going live on LinkedIn is one of the most exposed things a professional can do. There’s no editing, no second takes. Ann not only embraced it — she made it a signature part of her brand. She now hosts frequent LinkedIn Live events, bringing together leaders and experts for real-time conversations that build community and credibility simultaneously.
Ann launched H-Town Leaders’ Circle — a weekly publication with nearly 4,000 subscribers that explores innovative leadership insights and connects Houston’s top leaders. She has published consistently for more than 18 months straight, building a loyal audience that looks forward to her perspective every week.
Ann went from someone who had never pressed record to someone who now creates short-form video with confidence. She learned the frameworks, practiced consistently, and broke through the discomfort that keeps most professionals from ever starting.
With a real content strategy in place — video, live events, newsletter, and daily posting — Ann’s profile now reflects the depth of her expertise. The followers she gained are the right people: senior leaders, executives, and decision-makers who align with her work.
Daily posting combined with weekly newsletter publishing and regular live events created a compounding effect. 18+ months of showing up every week built an authority that no single post could replicate.
Ann’s increased presence didn’t just grow her audience — it deepened her authority and opened doors that weren’t available before. She doubled her LinkedIn following with the exact right audience for her consulting practice.
