Becoming the best virtual you in 2021.
We all understand the importance of branding, but this aspect of building a business is even more critical for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are their brand.
Most of us aren’t looking to topple Amazon or Google; we want to build genuine human connections and provide a trusted service to our clients. If you are the face of your business and provide a service, it is critical that you reinforce your brand image every time you present yourself.
Recently, many entrepreneurs began reaching clients via new methods: giving presentations to virtual groups, hosting networking events, making videos for YouTube, or teaching classes.

When you are your brand, you are the spokesperson conveying the memories and sharing the stories. Are you sure your speaking and presenting skills are where you would like them to be?
What else do I offer?
In addition to both verbal and non-verbal aspects of presenting yourself, we will look at the structure and organization of your message. (Is there a hook, is it logical, is there a clear call-to-action?) Finally, we will review the lighting, setting, and outfit choice.
