Show Up and Be Heard

Season 2, Episode 28: Show Up and Be Heard

In today's episode, I give my thoughts on a question I've heard asked a lot recently... 'do you really need to be on social media for your business?'

Spoiler alert: I’m here to tell you - no, you don’t need to be on social media.

Surprised?

Let’s dive into why that is and the benefits it can still offer if you decide to use it.

Season 2, Episode 21: Show Up and Be Heard

I am so excited for you to listen to today's episode, where I am talking to the incredible Dominique van Werkhoven, all about embracing diversity, difference and uniqueness in business, and maintaining your own identity.

We discuss personal stories, the ripple effect of seemingly small actions, and the significance of intentionality in business.

Dominique also shares her experiences of running a business with her husband, the highs and lows, and the lessons she has learned along the way.

I am not just saying it when I say that I loved this conversation, it was honest, at times vulnerable, and really powerful.

Dominique is a London-born writer, speaker, and small business co-founder of The Werks. She is currently based in the Netherlands with her three sons and husband. When not busy figuring out the self-employed parenting puzzle, writing website copy for clients or buying (another!) coffee mug, she can be found sharing occasional thoughts on belonging and identity on Instagram.
