What is your brand? What do you stand for?

Many people struggle to build a meaningful brand – what you stand for – the things people associate you with when they think of you. A strong brand is memorable; it stands out; it tells your story; it highlights your expertise. Especially in the digital world in which we live, play, and work your brand is important. It is distinct and sets you apart from others.

A personal brand is the package of character traits and capabilities that make you who you are, expressed in a way that others can understand right away. It’s what you project to the world as the most accurate view of who you are, what you stand for and the value you bring. It’s about believing in the best version of yourself and articulating it to those who matter.

In today’s podcast, Debra Wheatman will discuss the various aspects of brand building, including actionable strategies that will enable you to develop, manage, maintain, and grow your brand to realize personal and professional success. With more than 17 years of experience, Debra shares tactics that enable people to facilitate meaningful interactions that leave lasting impressions. Listen in!

If you have experienced devastating defeats, a persistent toxic situation that you can’t change, a terrifying event that you could not control, or the diagnosis of a chronic or terminal illness, then you also may have experienced the feeling that hope is quite elusive.

Today, Heidi Floyd will walk us through her journey from cancer caregiver to cancer patient to cancer advocate and activist. The trajectory of this journey has been an enlightening path of rediscovery, reinvention and revelation. While her main focus as a cancer advocate is in the speaking realm, her passion for helping a wider world has caused the focus to expand into research grant review boards – first with the American Cancer Society and now with the Department of Defense.

After you’ve been employed for a few years, you probably have job security, a regular income, benefits, and a bright future. Even so, you may want more out of life, and starting your own business may be the way to get it. However, moving from employee to entrepreneur requires planning, a clear understanding of your career objectives, and confidence that you can do the job as an independent business owner.

Many of us dream of business ownership, and while some start-ups grow into successful businesses, many do not. As an employee, you enjoy a certain security in knowing you’ll get paid, but as a business owner, you may not get paid for all those extra hours you work to build your business. Jumping from employee to entrepreneur may be a leap of faith, but it’s faith in your ability to achieve business success.

Join us today as Kayleigh O’Keefe, Founder of Soul Excellence Publishing, helps you understand how to move from employee to entrepreneur and manage the transition smoothly! Listen in as Kayleigh explains how to change your mindset from worker to owner. You think differently, you act differently, you plan ahead, and look to the past for what worked and what didn’t. Kayleigh will walk you through the path to follow your dreams and have faith in your ability to smoothly transition from employee to entrepreneur, increasing your chances for the success of your new company.

Your online social media profile may be as important as your resume if you are looking for a new job or to change careers. Did you know that 85% of employers are currently using social media networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter for hiring, according to a survey by the Jobvite. And, nearly 60% of employers have hired through social media networks. So, its clear that employers are frequently using social media networks to find candidates for employment, rather than going through resumes or searching job websites.

But, how can you develop a compelling online brand for yourself? How can you define the areas in which you specialize, distinguish you from others, and persuasively convey the value you can bring and have brought to past employers? Find out the secrets to crafting a social media profile that helps you get found and helps showcase your business credibility and stand out from the competition. Remember, your social media profile is a way of engaging with people who often become valuable connections and customers – and maybe your next employer!

Today, we’ll talk to Deb Krier, LinkedIn strategist, marketing professional, social media adviser, professional speaker and trainer, about how to position yourself as an expert in your field in social media and make valuable connections to accelerate your success!

Many companies spend a great deal of time and money attracting and recruiting great talent, only to struggle with keeping them engaged and productive. Many executives, as well as new managers, have spent years perfecting their technical skills, but little time learning how lead a team, whether remotely or in person.

A poor leader isn’t necessarily a bully – but may tolerate behavior, or a culture, where the bully can thrive. Why do some organizations tolerate bad behavior just because the perpetrator is a high performer?

Workplace bullying shows up in different forms, covert and overt and can look like aggressiveness, humiliation or manipulation. It often occurs in what could be considered a hostile workplace environment. And, it almost always results in stress and anxiety, which can lead to physical complications. And, it always affects productivity, employee engagement and retention – which all correlate to revenue and profitability.

Today, we’ll talk with Irené Turtle, Leadership Development Consultant and Executive Coach, about how bullies come in all forms, male and female, and show up in every industry. Like most workplace and leadership issues, it all starts with awareness and a willingness on the organization’s part to take the necessary steps to address it. Irene will help you learn how to address workplace bullying as a leader – to create a positive environment where high-performing teams can thrive!

What is the significance of the words we choose?

Words are more powerful than you can imagine, so it is important to choose them wisely. Why?  Words are a means for us to express and describe our experiences to others. So, they always have emotions attached to them. Our feelings are constantly creating our lives. The words we use, especially when chosen repeatedly, can deepen our feelings and ultimately become our experience.

According to the latest report from the “Brokerage of Speakers and Coaches,” the world has one million too few speakers and one million too few coaches. In fact, there are approximately 64,000 events every single day that need speakers. And, importantly, there is more than $100 billion spent on speakers for business meetings, organizational conferences and special events per year. Even with the new normal of nearly all speaking opportunities now being virtual, we still see $100 billion spent for speakers worldwide. 

Importantly, only 1% of all the speakers in the world are women. This is true in every single speaking category: beginners, wannabe, part-time, full-time, corporate, trainers, politicians, athletes, & celebrities. The industry is starving for more women speakers.
