Brand Authority: The Media Brand of You

What makes up your brand message?

Is it your mission and vision statements?  Perhaps you believe it's your company logo, brand color, and cute catchphrases.  Maybe you see it as the excellent services or products you offer.
 

The reality is now more than ever; you are the brand message.  It's how you present and communicate on a podcast, in media interviews, on live stage presentations, in virtual meetings, and at live in-person events.  What you say, how you say it, the quality sound bites you give, your persona, and media skills are vital for communicating your brand message.
 

What are you doing today to enhance and grow your media skills to ensure that you shine as your company's brand messenger?  Learn how to create, own, and shine as you become more than the brand ambassador, CEO, or spokesperson, but rather the "BRAND OF YOU."

 

Format: keynote, workshop, breakout, virtual interviews, webinars

Companies strive to break through the noise and shine as their brand to increase sales and awareness.

Defy the Odds: Stutter to Stage

Stuttering is embarrassing and emotional and can define or limit people. I have had a stutter since childhood. My mother has a stutter, and so do many other people. More than 70 million people worldwide are stutterers -- that's one in every 100. In the US, more than 3 million people stutter. I chose to "defy the odds" and not allow my stutter to hold me back, even when others said it would.

I have been a professional broadcaster, talk-show host, media expert, keynote speaker, and training for 30 years. Learn more about my story and others by having me present "STUTTER TO STAGE" for your next event. This talk is about mindest, vision, self-belief, and leadership. 

Format: keynote, workshop, breakout, virtual interviews, webinars


 

This program is perfect for:

People who stutter (Children and adults)

Organizations that educate and support those that stutter

Conventions and conferences that address disabilities 

Family members, friends, and spouses of those that stutter

 

The audience will leave with:

A better understanding of what stuttering is and is not

Learn who you are as a person that stutters and how to gain control over it

How to pursue your dreams, even when it appears your stutter may hold you back

A fresh perspective on how to work with and support those that stutter in a natural way

If you stutter you are not alone and realize many like you have achieved great things in life
