About the Episode: Training and certifications have their place, but they should be tools, not the core of your business. What drives a business forward is YOU. It's about networking, building relationships, and gaining real-life experience. Don't get so caught up chasing qualifications that you miss out on the fundamental aspects of growing your business. 
Karen dives deeper into the concept of 'procrastinate training', or “procrasti-training” where we pile up training after training without considering the direct benefits to our businesses. Instead, focus your time, energy, and finances on what can rapidly bring you new clients.
The aim is clear: do what you love, do what you're amazing at, and become a wealthy woman of influence. To achieve this, think bigger. Draw in higher-ticket clients. Delegate tasks that take you out of your zone of genius. You deserve that!
 You're invited to reach out, share your thoughts, spread the word about this podcast, and help more women succeed.
Remember: No more procrasti- training! Your journey towards being a wealthy woman of influence begins today.

About the Episode: In this episode, I have an insightful chat with Denise Páne, an industry expert on digital accessibility and ADA compliance. Our conversation is packed full of enlightening information about digital accessibility and its role in business today.
We kick off the conversation by diving into the world of digital accessibility and its profound impact on businesses. We examine the untapped audience that is waiting to be engaged with through ADA compliant websites. The potential for business growth here is something you won't want to miss. Plus, we touch on the significant legal repercussions of ignoring the guidelines set by the ADA - the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Next, we shift our focus to brand authenticity. I truly believe that in today's world, having a brand that aligns with your values is essential. It attracts like-minded consumers, resonating with their beliefs and fostering stronger connections. And guess what? LinkedIn has rolled out a fantastic new feature to help showcase your company values. We discuss how this tool can attract the best talent to your business.
Wrapping up our discussion, we delve into practical ways your business can achieve ADA compliance. We touch on tools, resources, and services that are available to help you navigate this process and become more accessible. Importantly, we also highlight some of the deceptive practices you should be aware of. As we look to the future, we predict ADA compliance becoming as ubiquitous as SEO in the digital realm.
As we wrap up this episode, remember that digital accessibility isn't just about enhancing user experience. It's about creating an inclusive digital space that embraces all users, which can lead to incredible business opportunities.

About the Episode: Do you have moments when you know you should be hopping on calls with people but don’t seem to have the necessary courage to do it? That’s called call reluctance. It is common with many of us, and most of the time, it is the block between us and the next high ticket that we’ve been eyeing. Today is the day we bid farewell to this syndrome.
In this episode, I share two actionable tips to help you feel at ease when makings. The first thing you should do is practice your pitch. Before you hop on a call with anyone, make sure you practice the pitch, and you are comfortable with it. You can do it in front of a mirror or with someone close to you.
The second thing you can do is make use of a script. This sounds a bit controversial, considering I don’t advocate for scripts. I recommend having some bullet points to help you through the call. Don’t go for a word-to-word script. It might make you lose your authenticity.
Once you are on the call, find a warm way of starting the conversation. It can be as simple as complimenting the other person on the amazing work they are doing. You can point out what you love about their work. For instance, if they have a podcast, you can share the episode you enjoyed the most.

About the Episode: A lot of the time, we think of famous influencers as the people who will have the most power. Sometimes, however, the most impact can come from the smaller, niche audiences.
For your business, it’s important to have magnetic marketing strategy where people come to you versus you always going to them. This begins with finding the people with the right centers of influence. A center of influence is any group a person has influence over. Instead of seeking out big influencers who have big centers of influence, seek out smaller influencers. They often have a greater connection with their audience.
When seeking out centers of influence, remember that it’s not about how many centers you have. It’s all about going deep into the centers of influence you’re a part of. Go deep, not wide.

About the Episode: Let’s be honest; have you ever met toxic people online? Have you been trolled on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or TikTok? Chances are, you have! The online space is more polarized than before. We do not have gray spaces. If you don’t agree with someone or someone doesn’t agree with you, they’re right, and you’re wrong.
In this episode, I share three actionable tips that will make dealing with trolls easier. These tips are easy yet functional. When you are trolled, always take time to try to understand that person’s behavior and why it triggers you. Doing so will give you a moment of self-reflection to see what you can improve on. 
 The first thing to do when trolled is to thank the toxic person. Truth be told, as much as we hate what they did, they have a different perspective on the conversation. Thank them for taking the time to give their point of view. You may also consider engaging them to understand where they are coming from.
The second thing is to ignore them: Depending on how the conversation goes and the magnitude of their toxicity. You can choose to ignore them. Just let them be.
The third thing you can do is block them: I know people can be cruel out here. If you feel like their toxicity is too much on you, always use the block option available on all social media platforms. If you are on a social media group like Facebook or LinkedIn, you can block them from the community, and if you do not have the rights, feel free to reach out to the moderator. Also, you can report them to the social platform.
