I am pretty sure you, like most people, have a misunderstanding about what personal branding is. If it wasn't because this is my area of expertise, I am sure I wouldn't know either.
Have you ever second-guessed yourself about how to balance being approachable but at the same time being respected?
Have you ever made a split-second decision on whether to engage someone’s services, buy their product or do business with them? Have you found the decision has already been made in your head before they have said more than a few words?
Tony is a very talented guy who is getting amazing results in his career, and Darren is as talented as Tony but somehow he keeps being overlooked for the promotion he has been seeking for a while.
Wanting something to change in one area of your life but unsure of how to get there?
At the moment, there's something I want that I haven't been able to make happen. I keep thinking to myself that I should be able to work it out, that I should know what to do next, and that maybe tomorrow I will get some clarity.
Who doesn’t love talking to someone who brightens up your day? The person who, when you leave them, makes you think: ‘Wow! It was wonderful talking to them!’
Being a charismatic person doesn't mean that you have to be an extrovert. And it does not mean you have to change who you are.
You do not need to be the loudest person in the room either.
Being a natural 'doer' I tend to get things done in good timing. This way of operating worked for me... until it didn't. I kept asking myself why I am not getting results if I am 'doing' so much.
If I asked you who are you? Would you be able to answer me in a short sentence?
In my experience, you would not. And it gets more difficult if I ask you to take your roles and responsibilities away. At the end of the day, they do not define who you are at the core of your soul.
Have you ever thought you need to change who you are to achieve your goals? Do you think you need to be fake or edit too many parts of yourself to fit in?
Can you think of somebody who when they enter the room lifts the mood of the place? The type of person that is so nice to be around?
As I was sitting in the waiting room, next to the 3 most brilliant and intelligent women in my Uni class, I thought that there was no chance I was going to get this job.
My insecurities and the second-guessing thoughts were having a massive party while I waited to enter my interview.
Starting a podcast is not an easy thing. It is one more commitment to a pile of other ones.
However, I started Amplify because I love talking about my topic AND most importantly sharing a message that I know can inspire and help a lot of people.
Are you comfortable speaking up at meetings or with clients and sharing your brilliance unapologetically?
For most of us, the answer is no. We fear being seen as arrogant, being judged and God forbid, being seen as silly or making a mistake.
When I share my story of how I got to do what I do today, I feel great alignment and purpose.
For those of you who see me ‘so confident’ in a video or in person, I want you to know that that energy comes from the passion and 100% belief in what I am talking about.
When I first talked to 'Nadia', it was very clear that she had a big goal in mind that she wanted to achieve.
She wanted to become the CEO of a mining company. Not many women hold this position in Australia. So it was a big goal to say the least.
There are so many things I know I 'shouldn't' do, yet I do them.
Have you ever made a split-second decision on whether to engage someone’s services, buy their product or do business with them? Have you found the decision has already been made in your head before they have said more than a few words?
I have been speaking to a few people lately and one thing is very clear to me: A lot of you are confused about what is their personal brand or how to use it to their advantage.
Most of us experience fear of being judged, being found out that we're not good enough, or not being perfect. As a result, we live our lives editing who we are and what we say, what we wear, or simply hiding.
