Your Personal Brand is Your Anchor: Craft a personal brand that aligns with your values, voice, and vision. It should speak for you before you even step on stage.

Be Discoverable—or Be Forgotten: SEO and consistent messaging across platforms ensure the right people can find you, recognize you, and remember you.

Your Story is Your Superpower: A well-crafted signature story helps your message land and stick. Make it relatable, emotional, and memorable—it’s what audiences connect to.

Pitch with Purpose: A strong, clear pitch doesn’t just open doors—it elevates your credibility and boosts your publicist’s ability to promote you effectively.

Timing is a Strategy: Use media awareness days to align your message with timely events. It’s a powerful way to stay relevant and get noticed by decision-makers.

Impostor Syndrome is Normal—But Don’t Let It Win: Even successful speakers struggle with self-doubt. What matters is continuing to show up, tell your story, and own your space.

Brand You Before Business You: Your personal brand fuels your business brand. People book people, not just businesses—to invest in your presence and narrative.
