Nicole’s passion for eliminating gender expectations and redefining “Woman’s Work” is both what keeps her up at night, and what gets her up in the morning. Well that, and an abundant amount of coffee. 

An in-demand speaker, leadership strategist, respected coach, and host of the “This Is Woman’s Work” Podcast, her stalker- like obsession with confidence sets her apart from the constant stream of experts telling us to BE confident. She actually  tells how you build it, and gives actionable tools – not just stories – to BECOME confident. 

A fugitive of the C-suite at a Fortune 100 company, she has coached hundreds of women in business, which has given her insight as to what – structurally, systemically and socially – is and isn’t serving women and leaders within an organization. 

Maintaining some semblance of sanity in her different roles of wife, mother, and business owner successfully is an ongoing  challenge… in whatever free time she has, she enjoys reading and wine guzzling, is an avid cheese enthusiast,  a hotel snob, and a reluctant peloton rider.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“The number one confidence builder is action, action builds confidence.”

“Mistakes, fear, doubt, loss, any of those sort of, we equate with negative emotions, all of those things actually build confidence if you choose it, if you let it.”

“Give yourself grace on the journey…the way we communicate with ourselves, the things we say to ourselves, in our own mind, really matter as it relates to confidence. So what I would encourage you to do when I say giving yourself grace is talk to yourself, like someone you love.”

“Confidence is a choice first, and then the feeling catches up. So we've heard the expression fake it to make it. I have replaced that with choose it until you become it.”

“No one or nothing is holding on to your confidence waiting to give it to you. The way we build confidence is internally. So I would invite you to think about how you build trust with other people or how they build trust with you. If you can turn that back on yourself, that's probably a really good insight into how you would build trust with yourself.”

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“It can feel a lot more palatable to just sort of take it minute by minute, do what you feel like doing, and sort of hope that the right things are gonna get done. The problem is, especially if you juggle a lot of responsibilities, that rarely happens because life is sort of chaotic. It's just naturally chaotic, it doesn't really line itself up. in order for you to succeed. It does help if you give a little helping hand.” 

“No matter what else the week threw your way, if you can manage to get something  big done every single week this year, then you'll for sure come out feeling on top.”

“Should the things that are already on my calendar actually be there? Should there be other things on my calendar that are not there? And how can I best optimize this calendar layout to suit me and my needs this week?”

“Not all of your tasks are deserving of your time and energy this week, they might need to get pushed to a future week, they might need to get deleted entirely”

Melanie Deziel is a keynote speaker, author, award-winning branded content creator, and the author of the best-selling marketing and business communications book, “The Content Fuel Framework: How to Generate Unlimited Story Ideas.” Melanie is also the Co-Founder and VP of Marketing at TheConvoy.com, a B2B marketplace that helps small and independent businesses save money on their everyday expenses so they can invest more in themselves and their communities. Her second book, “Prove It: Exactly How Modern Marketers Earn Trust” comes out October 11th, 2022. 

Prior to co-founding The Convoy, Melanie was the founder of StoryFuel and spent her days giving keynotes and leading workshops that teach marketers, creators, and companies of all sizes how to create better content. Melanie was the first editor of branded content at The New York Times, a founding member of HuffPost’s brand storytelling team, and served as Director of Creative Strategy for Time Inc.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“Sometimes the best thing you can do for your content is to find someone who has the time and passion to be able to dedicate to that to help you make it what you want it to be.”

“My top recommendation is to figure out where your audience is; one, maybe two, places and really focus your effort on content creation and connecting there. Because if you spread yourself too thin, you're gonna have a whole lot of mediocre content that gets you no results. I'd much rather see you be awesome in one or two places than mediocre in 12” 

“If you can start with the focus: ‘What do I want to say? What can I talk about?’  Then you switch to ‘How do I bring that to life?’ That makes the whole process so much easier.”

“It helps to start from a place of abundance instead of from a place of scarcity. Like, I'm not sure what to post, I don't know what to say…you're starting with 100. That's your new baseline zero.”

“For me, confidence comes from a place of knowledge and understanding. I feel most confident when I know that I can teach and add value; that I have something that I can give. I know at the end of that conversation, I can feel confident that I've done something of value.”

Melody DiCroce is a launch strategist and founder of The Launch Library, where she helps ambitious females simplify their launches while getting more sales and better results for their students and clients. 

She's worked with entrepreneurs like Selena Soo and Ramit Sethi on dozens of launches and loves introducing strategies from those multi-million dollar launches to course creators, coaches, and service providers so they can have wildly successful launches while having the space and capacity to create and live the life of their dreams.  

In 2012, Melody sold her Nashville home and all her belongings and ditched her traditional 9-5 to travel on a sailboat for 10 years. She now lives with her husband in Loreto, Mexico, a small coastal town on the Sea of Cortez.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“I don't claim to know it all. It's an ever evolving thing. But the fear is real…there's so many points of failure in a launch, that people get stuck, and they end up not launching, or they delay their launches. And so that's what I'm trying to help people overcome that fear, because the only way you're going to learn is by doing it.”

“I tell people to follow affiliate launches, because you'll learn so many lessons…if you’re afraid to launch yourself, do an affiliate, watch or follow someone else’s launch” 

“Where most people get stuck when it really boils down to it is the mindset behind it all. We're afraid to look unprofessional, or we're afraid to make a mistake….so I try to be a cheerleader for people and help them know it's okay to make a mistake.”

“it's a really big mindset shift, to put yourself out there and put a product out there.”

“…And sometimes that's all it takes, is just to say ‘Okay, now we have a starting point. Let's go from there.’”

 “Your life is an experiment. Business is an experiment. So don't be afraid to make mistakes.. That's the only way we learn.”

Shannon is a CPA, CFO and strategist for small business owners who want more perspective and less paperwork when it comes to their finances. Her company, Fitnancial Solutions, offers accounting, tax strategy and coaching delivered from the heart of a teacher. Her real-life relatable examples make the financial side of business less daunting so you can focus on serving your customers. She is the host of the Top Entrepreneurship podcast Keep What You Earn and a frequent speaker in masterminds and business communities.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“I think that we build this up in our heads because it's something unfamiliar. But when you really look at it, it's not that complicated. If you just have the right guidance and someone telling you what to do. Even if it's just listening and telling you to go open a bank account. It's a lot of simple things that you can do.”

“Ideally, it's proactive versus reactive. So you want to be as proactive as possible, looking forward and planning for the business that you want to have.”

“When a launch happens or income starts coming in unpredictably, you want to be ready to accept that you know what to do and know how much is going to taxes, know what you're saving, and have a plan.”

“I believe information is free and should be abundant and should be shared with everyone. But the implementation and the action is where the real value comes in.”

“And that was like one of my favorite catch phrases or taglines was –  Commit, you'll figure it out. I've lived by that for so long. I'm just going to say yes and then my brain and body will get me to a point where that yes was the right answer.”

“Doing it scared, like being scared and doing it anyway, like action first.”

Today's guest is Instagram marketing expert, Elise Darma. She specializes in helping not-so-Insta-famous business people make REAL revenue directly from the free app. She’s helped over 30,000 people truly grow their businesses, sell more programs and build money-making brands. Her social media marketing expertise has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Digital Marketer, and Social Media Examiner.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

“Instagram, TikTok, they all have a billion plus users so they are amazing tools for you to get in front of your target audience for free.”

“More often than not, my students won't be Instagram famous, they'll have maybe 500, maybe 1000 followers. But still, even with those numbers, they can generate sales back to their business, five figures plus more often than not.

“Google is a great platform, if you're a blogger.  YouTube is a great platform, if you prefer to be on video.  You can create video, or you can create content that's going to be found on the search based platforms but then you need one other platform to connect with people to go deeper on their relationships. And so in my opinion, Instagram is still the best tool out there for creating those relationships.”

“I first like to have two platforms as the focus one search one relationship based.”

“The easiest thing you can do and the one that majority of my students feel the most comfortable doing is simply showing up and talking like this, you can grow an audience organically on Tiktok and Instagram, by sharing tips in 10-15 second clips just like this.”

“Okay, so you're capturing someone's attention. Then for the next five to 10 seconds of your video, you're sharing your tip, you're sharing your info, you're sharing your value. And then the last part of the formula, hook tip, the last part is a call to action.”

MEMORABLE MOMENTS: 

“Look at the things that have held you back. And then be willing to do the work to rewrite those old stories so that your past doesn't create your present, as well as your future.”

“At any time, you can just say, I don't really like the direction my life is going, I think I'll change it, you can do that at any time.”

“Who cares what other people say, just do you, show up and do you?”

“So at any point again, you don't have to hit rock bottom. It's about taking control of the things that have happened to you. And the stories that you told about it.”

“You cannot create a new identity until you rewrite the old stories that have kept you stuck, your brain literally won't let you.”

Linda Sidhu is a list-building expert and strategic partner with Interact (the quiz platform), who helps entrepreneurs create irresistible personality quizzes that attract hundreds of new subscribers on autopilot.

As a former top ten pharmaceutical sales representative, she had extensive training in personality types. She took the same methods that worked for selling products face-to-face and turned them into a personality quiz framework that converts views to leads at 70% and helps craft personalized marketing for her customers.

Linda has been featured in Forbes and on multiple podcasts, including The Art of Online Business with Rick Mulready and the #prettyawkward entrepreneur podcast with Megan Yelaney.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS: 

“People always want to learn about themselves, so when you have a lead magnet, that's really stroking the ego and celebrating your new leads. When they come into your offers and your world. People get really excited. They always like to learn something about themselves, whether it's their strength, maybe a blind spot.”

“I am not really into data and analyzing, but I will tell you, creating quizzes makes business fun for me. So it allows me a way to analyze and research my audience in the most fun way possible, and the conversion rates are really high, too.”

“I also find that when people take your quiz, it's building connections right out of the gate, and a lot of those people stay with you and stay on your email list longer.”

“There's really three things why you would want a personality quiz. One is they attract your right clients...Number two is you can sell out your offers...Number three, you can better serve your clients.”

“Believe it or not, once people take your quiz, there's some heavy lifting that has to be done in your welcome series to really nurture and build your know, like, and trust factor and your credibility and give reasons why somebody should stick with you and all that good stuff.”

Podcast: The Fearless and Successful

@DIJANALLUGOLLI

Memorable Moments: 

“Freedom is the value to be doing whatever I desire.”

“That was the framework actually, being intentional with everything that you're doing, will initially spark the doing.  First be that person, then you will find what is the inspiring action, then do that thing, and the result will be having anything that you want.”

“If you're doing something that’s not aligned with your mission, it's not going to be flow.”

“So really asking yourself, what is that thing that I really love to do? And how can I contribute that to the mission.  Making sure that the goals when you connect with your mission, that goals are intentional with that mission”

“Some will say, do a webinar, do a podcast, run Facebook ads, if that doesn't align with you, don't freaking do it because… the energy that you're going to put inside that is going to collapse. So do whatever feels good to you.”

“P is profit. Sometimes we forget that we are in business. If you don't think about the profit, if you don't think, is this sustainable? You're gonna burn yourself out.”

“O stands for seeing obstacles as opportunities…And it's really important that we see obstacles as opportunities”

“When it comes to negotiables I realized that our day actually starts with the night before so making sure that (PM) the night before is actually creating the AM that you are entering the next day.”

“Everything is available within you.”

“Business is not just you sitting and praying and meditating. It is discipline.”
