This quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, Kami Guildner is stepping into conversations around authority and prosperity. What it means to be known for your work, to lead with presence, and to build a business that is financially rewarding and aligned with how you want to live and lead. Today, Kami is joined by Barbara Brooks. Barbara is a powerhouse when it comes to PR, visibility, and helping women be known for the work they’ve already earned the right to lead with. In this conversation, they explore PR and media visibility and how that can elevate authority in the marketplace. This is a conversation about prosperity in a fuller sense, not just financial, but the kind that comes from recognizing your voice and allowing your work to be seen at the level it deserves. In This Episode: Why women who already have deep experience and wisdom are realizing that visibility is not about self-promotion, but about allowing their work and leadership to be seen at the level it deserves How PR and media visibility help women elevate their authority, expand recognition, and become trusted voices in their industries and communities What it really takes to build authority in a new season of leadership, including owning your expertise, refining your message, and fully embodying the value you bring How women can identify powerful story opportunities, cultural conversations, and visibility moments that align with the work they are here to lead Practical insights for pitching media, preparing for interviews, building relationships with journalists, and showing up confidently on camera and on stage Why relationships continue to be one of the most important foundations of visibility, influence, and long-term prosperity How women over 40 are stepping into one of the most powerful seasons of leadership, influence, and visibility in their lives What begins to shift when women stop waiting for permission, say yes to themselves, and allow their voice and leadership to fully take up space Barbara Brooks is the founder of SecondActWomen and a leading voice on the business case for experience in today’s multigenerational workforce.
