In this episode, Monica D. Livingston, in-demand global speaker, hall of fame athlete and two time winner of Comcast SportsNet “Funniest Sports Celebrity in Washington” joins me to discuss how to embrace your own unique power to build your reputation and your business.

On this episode, I talk about the importance of finding your own voice and using it — at first in small ways, like on LinkedIn. I give you an example of how to share a job announcement in a way that feels real and authentic to you, but also showcases your unique expertise and begins to build your personal brand.

Sharing only the good parts of your story sounds like the right thing to do to make people buy into whatever it is you are selling… but I can tell you this: while it definitely feels SAFER to stash away all the less magical moments… it is those ugly parts of your story that you actually NEED to share in order to connect with people.

Elizabeth Eichhorn, serial entrepreneur, business coach and leader of the Slow Business Retreat, shares the story of her first failed business venture and delivers her sage advice for entrepreneurs looking for balance, fulfillment and profit.

In this episode, I dive into the power of building your personal brand on LinkedIn. I share my approach to optimizing your profile and give you actionable tips on how to start leveraging LinkedIn for success... from the basics to the extras.

In this episode, I dive deeper into my interview with Emily Jaenson and talk about how you can leverage the tactics she used to cultivate confidence when you’re doing something for the first time. Like, publishing an article or delivering a keynote.

In this episode, Emily Jaenson shares the story of the TED Talk that launched her speaking career… a real career where she makes real money doing keynote addresses for corporations and conferences across the country.

In this episode, Emily and I talk through the common scenario / hurdle of sharing your wins; specifically, how to craft a post for LinkedIn about an award or accolade you've received. Yes, there is an art to this, and it's worth listening to this episode if only to understand the WHY behind sharing your wins and the HOW to do it effectively.

When you google yourself, what comes up? Is it an accurate reflection of who you are, what you’ve accomplished and where you want to go with your career? If you’re a business owner, are your search results working for you? Or are they hardly working? In this episode of the WINS podcast, we’re going to dig into why sharing your stories is so incredibly important to building and elevating your personal brand across the media.

I've interviewed hundreds of people in my career as a writer and executive publicist, but I have never once shared my story on this podcast. That changes now. Listen to this episode to learn how I got my start as a writer after spending a decade working in the sports business. The journey wasn't easy. There were a lot of bumps, but I got there, and I'm still learning and growing in a world where content is queen.
