    27. Are You Truly Showing Up Authentically In Your Business?

    Authenticity - it’s a word we hear everywhere, but what does it really mean for us as business owners? In this episode, I’m diving deep into the layers of authenticity and exploring how it shapes not only the way we show up in our businesses but also how we connect with ourselves and others. From the pressures of social media to the layers of personal branding, I challenge the oversimplified advice of "just be yourself" and offer a more practical, nuanced take on showing up in ways that align with your core values and your personality.  I also share some insights from my Positive Psychology studies, including the fascinating "Three Selves" framework from Ritu Bhasin, and a vulnerable story about my own journey with authenticity. This isn’t just about business - it’s about finding a balance between being real and being strategic, setting boundaries, and embracing the parts of yourself that matter most.   In this episode, I’ll talk about: Why "just be yourself" isn’t always helpful advice. The fine line between adapting and performing. How authenticity impacts everything from your mindset to your marketing. A practical framework to help you navigate authenticity in your life and work. Why being authentic doesn’t mean oversharing every detail of your life. Plus: Stick around until the end to hear me reflect on my first year of podcasting - the highs, the challenges, and my big, audacious goals for the future. This is my final episode of the year, I'll be back with series 3 at the end of January. Thank you so much for listening and supporting the podcast this year, I'm so grateful for you all.  Resources I Mentioned: 🌟 Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC, to get deep clarity and craft your personal brand from the inside out.

    26. Finding a Visibility Strategy That Works for You with Kate Waterfall Hill

    In this episode, I’m chatting with the brilliant Kate Waterfall Hill, a leadership coach who’s taken TikTok by storm in her 50s with her hilarious and relatable alter-ego, Linda the Bad Manager. Kate’s unique approach to visibility proves that you don’t need to conform to anyone else’s rules to make a big impact online - you just need to find a strategy that works for you. We dive into: How Kate created Linda one January evening (after a glass of wine!) and turned her into a viral sensation, with over 100 million views and 200,000 followers across social media. What it’s like being recognised in public - and handling the inevitable trolls that come with viral success. The secret to turning online engagement into real-world clients and revenue, and how Kate has built a thriving business around her personal brand. Kate also shares her journey from being a Managing Director in her 20s to becoming a sought-after coach, speaker, and author of her new best-selling book How to Lead. With over 30 years of business experience and her signature blend of sharp leadership insights and humour, Kate’s approach to visibility is as practical as it is inspiring. This episode is perfect for you if: You’ve been holding back from showing up online because you’re worried about what others might think. You want to craft a visibility strategy that feels authentic to your personality. You’re curious how humour and creativity can help you stand out in a crowded online space. ✨ Plus, stick around until the end, where I share my three key takeaways from this conversation!

    24. How Embracing Rejection can Build Confidence with Liz Mosley

    In this episode, I have a brilliant chat with brand designer, Liz Mosley. We dive deep into so many fascinating topics including Liz’s “rejection challenge,” a personal project that transformed her relationship with rejection and opened doors she never expected. Liz shares how this journey pushed her out of her comfort zone, gave her confidence in public speaking, and boosted her visibility.  But it’s not all smooth sailing – Liz also opens up about why she still feels nervous about sharing her design work and how overthinking can keep her up at night after social events (a feeling I know too well!). We discuss how she found ways to use these self-reflective moments to her advantage, reshaping insecurities into strengths. And if you’re curious about the link between resilience and confidence, Liz’s story is a perfect example of how grit and a growth mindset can completely transform the way we show up in our business and life. Tune in to hear how Liz’s journey might just inspire you to see rejection in a whole new light. Whether you’re navigating a fear of visibility or looking to find courage in your own career, there’s so much here to empower and encourage you.  Listen to the episode where I was a guest on Liz's podcast here: https://buildingyourbrand.net/episode/mastering-business-visibility-with-vicki-knight/ 00:03] – Kicking off with how Liz's rejection challenge came about and what the event was that started it.  [00:10] – Why getting visible made all the difference – Liz on finding confidence through public speaking.
