These answers all come from the Brain of Bryn! In fact, Coffee Break was most assuredly the jumping off point for this radio show!

In this café segment, I’ve pulled out some of my favorite answers on the topic of messaging, online persona, personal and professional brand as well as consistency of brand. How do I determine my messaging? Should I have all this figured out before I get a client? What if I run out of ideas to write about on my blog- how will I keep all this going? How do I translate my brand to the online world? What can I do to feel more clear about my messaging because I can do whatever the client needs. I offer exercises and a list of questions you can use to address these issues- even around booking as a speaker and trade show/exhibition booths. All straight from the Brain of Bryn!

Join me in the café with 15-year veteran of the “entrepreneurial life” Marcy Stahl, as we talk about the familiar transition for so many– from the organization/ corporation to becoming your own boss. Marcy played in the highly competitive and male-dominated world of technology defense contracting for many years- both in a defense think tank as well as running her own business- before switching target markets to support high-achieving women in the direct selling industry. Her lessons learned are invaluable for all of us and apply to everyone.

Pull out a pen and start taking notes from our conversation about things you need to know when striking out on your own, what detrimental behaviors are just too easy to fall into and why failing fast is the way to go! Oh and there is so much more! Plus, you won’t want to miss Marcy’s ruminations on Nancy Drew and the inspiration she has provided over all these years! Listen in and be sure to connect with Marcy on Facebook and LinkedIn for more great insight.

From grief comes inspiration.

Join me in the café as tackle a less traditional business topic- kindness, connection and community. Author and speaker Linda Cohen saw her busy life as a mother, wife and entrepreneur come to a screeching halt when her father died of lung cancer in 2006. She took what she calls a “spiritual sabbatical” to work through her grief and from that the project to perform 1,000 acts of kindness – mitzvahs- was born.

Listen in as we talk and laugh about some of the motivations behind these mitzvahs- from changing the roll of toilet paper in a public restroom to championing a community charity. Nothing is too big or too small to make an impact!

Cohen’s first book: 1,000 Mitzvahs: How Small Acts of Kindness Can Heal, Inspire, and Change Your Life shares her journey from sorrow to inspiration. In the two and a half years it took her to perform her mitzvahs, Cohen found that her grief was lessened and her entire self was improved by each small act and that every time she went out of her way to do something good for someone else, she enhanced her own well-being. That’s the way I know I would like to step into my life and business each day- how about you?
