Amplifying Your Authentic Messages In Life - with Tracy Lamourie The Adventures of Self Podcast
-
- Society & Culture
This week, Taylor takes an adventure alongside Tracy Lamourie, founder of Lamourie Media, and author of upcoming book, 'Get Repped - Build Your Brand with Effective Public and Media Relations'.
Tracy joins the conversation to talk about her career and the ways in which she has helped others to find their voice and build their brand, and delivers a valuable lesson on how you can best present yourself to the world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Fulfilment in our careers is found when we enjoy the challenges we face there. If we find our wits and our skills tested, then it can make a career far more exciting.
Helping others to find their voice, and raising them up to be our successors in the world, is the act of recognising our own place first, and then looking for the willingness in others to step into that role.
Public relations tends to have a more negative connotation - as though it is somehow cleaning up a mess or mistake that someone has made. And yet, the role of PR is a positive, empowering one.
Media relations are not only there to skew perceptions. They are there to rehabilitate the reputations of those who perhaps have been unfairly maligned. It is the art of changing minds and hearts.
You can learn far more from just doing something, than you can from theorising and planning forever.
BEST MOMENTS
'No two days are the same - there's no such thing as boring'
'Even though we all have different stories, different paths, different things we looking to create, there is some nugget of truth and similarity between the humanity we all have'
'People can elevate themselves - they can become thought leaders and get their message out. Half of that is confidence'
'Your elevator pitch for sales is different from your elevator pitch for media'
'I had my brain and belief in myself and a willingness to do the research. People wait to start businesses because they think they're going to need "all this stuff"'
'Just believe in yourself and do it. Half of everything is showing up and doing it'
