  • #41 Branding and Finding Your Clarity with Suzanne Tulien

    Brand Clarity Expert, International Speaker, and Author, Suzanne Tulien, notices the variety of creative ways people are ‘branding’ themselves both consciously and unconsciously.

    But, is a successful personal brand the result of powerful marketing? When the hype subsides, what keeps a good personal brand going strong? What is the real secret to personal brand growth and leadership?

    With over two and a half decades of strategic communication, employee brand engagement, and internal brand development, Suzanne’s inside-out brand-building strategy creates the clarity and actions necessary for her clients to drive consistency, distinction, and advocacy long-term. 

    As the author of The 6 Myths of Small Business Branding and co-author of Brand DNA; Uncover Your Organization’s Genetic Code to Competitive Advantage, also published in China, and her latest book Personal Brand Clarity; Identify, Define, & Align to What You Want to Be Known For…she is helping to pave the transformational highway to grow by conscious, strategic design; not by DEFAULT!

    • Marketing vs branding
    • Authenticity matters
    • Don't follow the pack
    • Don't change what you're doing - change how you talk about it
    • Identify your core values and weave them with your business strategy

    As a Solopreneur, YOU are the BRAND of your BUSINESS…

  • #36 Showing up on camera professionally to stay competitive with guest Suzanne Glover

    Suzanne Glover has been teaching in the professional TV and film industry for over 20 years. Now that there is such a heavy need, she’s been reaching out to audiences outside the film industry to succeed in this new “zoom era” that’s putting so many more of us into the spotlight to lead meetings and presentations online.

    In her book Be A Video Influencer:  Reinvent Your Life & Business As A Midlife Movie Star, Suzanne explains how influencing through video can dramatically change your life and make you feel like the “celebrity of your life.” And she’s also created the virtual program How To Sell On Video, a step-by-step formula to influence successfully on video - overcome camera anxiety, be engaging and persuasive, and use video strategically to market online.

    Suzanne is creating a movement where video can be used to enhance life instead of distracting from it.

    The 10-day Motivate Mastermind Wellness Retreat for Women in Portugal is designed for women in the early stages of their business journey who are overwhelmed with the opportunities in front of them and feeling stuck. The retreat is a combination of switching things up, getting out of our heads, and setting up the next steps for our businesses.

    This includes 3 days of Mastermind Group time with HOT SEATS for each participant to brainstorm and get creative input from your peers and find fresh solutions.

    As your mastermind facilitator, I will help you to discover the root causes of overwhelm and learn how to step away from busyness, so you can make real progress on your business goals.

    We'll also pinpoint the actions you can take to feel like you're making your best progress ever.

    And after you’ve designed your action plan with support from your peers, we'll relax with 3 days at a countryside Quinta just outside Lisbon with time for reflection and self-care.
