Welcome to episode 79 of the pod and today I'm chatting all things visibility. This is often a hurdle for my clients as many of them prefer to lurk in the shadows than show their faces! It's a common problem amongst the girls, and today I'm providing some tips to help ramp up your visibility a little, including

1. Why women tend to hide behind the camera instead of embracing it
2. How we can change the narrative of our visibility online
3. The 4 steps to becoming more confident in our visibility online and offline
4. A simple way to stay focused on your vision and mission for your business
5. How to make visibility work on your terms, not what social media dictates!

If this podcast resonated with you, I’d really love you to share it with your business pals – I’d love to reach more female entrepreneurs through my words and advice.

Welcome back to the Mission, Message and Mindset podcast for a new year and I'm chatting today about reconnecting with your business as we kick off 2023. 

We can't always be 'on' and 'in love' with our businesses so I thought it was a good time to look at ways to reconnect with our businesses if we're feeling a bit 'meh' kicking off into the new year. 

• What you need to believe about your business in 2023 
• How to realign with your business in a way that works for you; and
• The one thing you need to figure out before starting a new business year 

It's not easy to ramp up again after the holidays, so let's see January as a chance to let ideas percolate and evolve, and get curious about what the next 12 months will bring.
