Enthusiastically Self-Employed: business tips, marketing tips, and LinkedIn tips for coaches, consultants, speakers, and auth Brenda Meller

Unlock a world of sharpened focus and productivity with certified professional organizer Angie Hyche, our special guest who masterfully unpacks the pervasive issue of clutter in our lives.

Whether it's a pile of unsorted mail that's taking over your kitchen counter or a calendar so crammed that it leaves you gasping for breath, Angie's expert guidance offers a beacon of hope. We traverse the landscapes of physical and mental messes, discovering the subtle yet profound ways they can obscure our paths to success and contentment. Angie doesn't just diagnose the problem; she prescribes personalized solutions that promise to streamline your environment and your mind.

Feel the weight lifting off your shoulders as we map out the art of calendar curation. Imagine a schedule that serves not just as a list of tasks but as a collection of purposeful actions steering you toward your ambitions.

The conversation shifts to a reminder about making time for strategic reflection, and the art of distinguishing the essential from the expendable in your professional life. This episode isn't just about finding time; it's about refining it to its purest form, making every second count.

For our Innovation Women and Speaker Friends, don't miss the exclusive event invite tucked in at the end—because sometimes, the ultimate decluttering is the fusion of brilliant minds in a symphony of shared growth and learning.

Can headshot sessions be fun? YES! Join the conversation with Scott Lawrence, a headshot photographer who's an expert in professional headshot photos, but who has a knack for capturing fun poses that can help you shape your personal brand. 

In this episode, we discuss how a headshot does more than just show your face—it shows the world who you are and what you stand for, even if you're self-employed as a coach, consultant, speaker, and/or author.

As we discuss the blend of photography and personal branding, I share how the images Scott has captured of me over the years have made a positive, memorable impact on my social media engagement. 

We go beyond the basics – discussing how comfort in front of the camera isn't just a skill but a necessity in our digitally-driven age.

Scott and I cover the nuances of presenting an authentic self, from the clothes that capture your essence to the power of personal touches that add depth to your professional portrayal. It's all about crafting a brand image that's as dynamic and unique as you are.

Wrapping up, Scott and I dive into the practical tips that can elevate your professional presence, from the perfect backdrop for video calls to the subtleties of choosing attire that won't date your image. 

If you're looking to brush up your LinkedIn profile or you're simply hungry for a different type of headshot photo session, this episode is your go-to guide. Personal Branding Sessions can be so much more and can even include Silly Faces, Outtakes & Props.
