Show Up and Be Heard

Season 2, Episode 15: Show Up and Be Heard

We’ve all seen the posts and reels that enthusiastically tell us ‘consistency is key’ when it comes to managing our socials. But have you ever wondered what that actually means?

If you’re nodding your head then this is the podcast for you – because I’m about to dig a little deeper into the why and the where – and also give you actions to take on your own socials so that you can ensure you’re being consistent!

BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:

1. What consistency actually means (and what it doesn't mean)
2. Why consistency actually matters
3. Where you need to be consistent (and it's not just with posting) and how to do it

If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

Helen Hill is the creative addict behind UnlikelyGenius™️ and one-half of the mermaid double act, Be The Future.

She loves nothing more than to help kids and 'grown-ups' rediscover mischief and playfulness to generate new ideas and get excited about what they do.

At UnlikelyGenius she is an all-around creative providing writing, design & illustration, with a focus on educational resources and book illustration. As a lifetime hoarder of childrens’ books (for her own reading pleasure) she has recently launched herself as a childrens’ book author-illustrator. Plus she is an ICF ACC accredited business coach and author of triple award-winning Falling Off The Ladder.

When not a 40-year-old playing dress-up or grappling to work out the time difference with co-founder Sally in Australia, at Be The Future Helen’s focus is on developing educational and technological content for immersive and educational experiences about sustainability. Plus, she is also the chief of visual design and craftily magicking workshop props together armed with her trusty new sewing machine.
