If you are podcast host or thinking of starting a podcast – then this episode is for you.

I invite my work colleague and friend Imogen Jones, to come join me as we share some personal branding tips we find particularly useful for podcast hosts.

Some of what we talk about will help with the moments where you may:

…hit a creativity brick wall

…run out of energy

…lose sight of why you’re doing what you’re doing

…fear that you don’t have enough authority

Come join us - it’s a relaxed conversation, but purposeful.

I share what I’ve learnt from my conversations with Darryn Eggleton, a South African Wildlife Artist based in Suffolk and Steph Lee-Vae, an inclusive, creative educator based in Northamptonshire.

These two conversations, much like the others in this series will hopefully inspire you to shape a version of yourself that you feel happy sharing with the outside world.

In this episode I share three things that came up for me after reflecting on both Darryn and Steph’s episodes, and those centre around these thoughts:

#1 Early encouragement helps sow seeds for genius strengths

#2 Passion is a strong long-term driver

#3 Find your Goldilocks Zone as soon as possible

They make more sense when you hear me out – so come join me. They have taught me some more depths for my own personal branding journey.

Do me a favour, would you? Could you let me know what’s swirling around in your head when you listen to this one and the conversations in this series. I’d love to know if they are hitting home or are useful for you. I respond to everyone.

Part of my mini-series: ‘Real life Personal Brand Examples’.

I introduce you to Steph Lee-Vae, a creative educator, based in Northampton in the UK.

I invited Steph to come and share their journey to becoming the phenomenal education leader that they are today and, at such a young age. I was so impressed when I saw them deliver a session at Merged Futures in Northampton, that I knew I needed to walk to the front and connect with them immediately.

You’ll get to hear and see a small bit about how Steph has evolved through their career and overcome a difficult and challenging background, to grow into this glowing force of nature who stands up for the young people in their charge.

I think you’ll love hearing how skateboarding became “a thing” in their mid-twenties, and how even a severe endometriosis diagnosis has not stopped the force that is STEPH LEE-VAE.
