Live and Love Your Brand

Yes, this is the final episode of Live & Love Your Brand podcast!

In this episode, I reflect on the 86 episodes filled with insights into personal branding, marketing, and self-discovery. Your support and engagement have been incredible, and I'm deeply grateful for all of my guests, listeners and supporters over the past 2 years.

But as one chapter closes, another begins. In September 2023, I went through the process of re-branding - or brand shifting as I like to call it. After 14 years of business operation, I shifted from "Lovelly Communications" to simply "Emma Lovell." This change symbolises a merging of my passions – business, travel, and self-care. My mission is clear: I'm here to help entrepreneurs achieve true freedom, not someday, but right now. To help them travel more and live a life they love!

While "Live and Love Your Brand" comes to an end, my journey continues with the launch of "The Emma Lovell Show." Stay tuned for deeper explorations of business, travel, self-care, and more. Through the podcast - as well as my coaching, speaking, and writing - I aim to inspire, encourage and motivate you to build a business for sustainability and profitability. And for above all else, joy in both work and life.

Thank you for being part of this incredible chapter, and I can't wait to embrace this next adventure. Will you join me?

Can you describe yourself in 3 words?

For many, this is such a challenge!

If someone doesn't know you - has never met you - and you need to give them a picture of you, what would you say?

This is one of my favourite exercises to support my clients to understand their personal brand and how they are being received by others.

I would LOVE to hear how you go with this one and learn your 3 words! Make sure to email me at [email protected] with your results - write THREE WORDS as the email subject line! Go?

How can you truly connect with your clients and customers and convert them with ease?

Rashida Tayabali's unique perspective on writing for an audience truly resonated with me. She not only has a wonderful way with words but also emphasises the importance of diversity in her clients' worlds. This prompted me to reflect on diversity within my own sphere and how I approach it with clients and audiences. Rashida's insights challenged me to showcase and embrace diversity, welcoming people from all backgrounds into my work.

As a copywriter for female entrepreneurs, Rashida thrives on capturing the heart and soul of their businesses, using the perfect words to connect and convert clients. Words are her passion, and she channels that passion into helping her clients grow their businesses effectively.

Join us for this thought-provoking and inspiring conversation with the brilliant writer and businesswoman, Rashida Tayabali

Do you say I am?

Can you say:

- I am (your name)

- I am an expert

- I am confident

- I am intelligent

- I am successful

How do those statements feel to you?

For many of my clients, saying even I am ahead of words to describe themselves could seem overwhelming.

When you say "I am ..." your audience will believe you. But more importantly, you may begin to believe it.

I truly believe in the power of starting a sentence with I am and in this episode I share an exercise for how you can embrace this little shift into your daily habits to see massive shifts in how you show up!

This truly can help you build confidence and connect more deeply.

I would love to hear your "I am" statements - email me at [email protected] to share

Do you have diversity and inclusion as a focus in your business?

Many don't.

I met the founder and CEO The Culture Ministry, Lisa Mulligan, when she invited me to be on her podcast. What I quickly saw was Lisa's passion for this space and extensive knowledge. She made me want to look at my own business, and life, and do better.

Lisa runs her Diversity & Inclusion consulting business focusing on getting organisations and D&I professionals started on their D&I progress.

We talk about her shift from corporate to running her business and how she's integrating all of her learning. Her message to be the leader of your own life and make decisions that control your fate really stuck with me.

A thoroughly thought provoking conversation I know you're going to love.

Opening up the behind the scenes of my business here!

Things are changing. Where I'm at, where the market is at and what I can offer to help serve my clients best.

So, I put my business owner hat on and made a decision to change.

Introducing the hour of power!

Learn why I'm running things differently, how I'm helping businesses move their business and life forward, and how I can support you too!
