On this episode of #GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling puts the social back in social media with Holly Homer, Troy Sandidge, and May King Tsang. Holly is co-founder of Pagewheel; Troy is a growth strategist and podcaster, and May King is the original FOMO creator. The panel talks about the evolution and challenges of social media, along with ways to be more authentic, personal, and engaged. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to spice up your social media game or a consultant seeking ways to connect more authentically with your audience, there's a wealth of knowledge here for you.

Goals

Troy: Look at your platform of choice, find someone you haven't talked to in a while. Share one of their posts, along with your thoughts. Amazing conversations will happen

May King: Brag; shout about your achievements, and include the backstory

Holly: Grow your email list

Deb's Bonus Goal: Message friends, just to say, "Hi, How are you?" They will be as happy to hear from you as you are to reconnect with them


Final Thoughts

Holly: Social media is not rocket science. It is one foot in front of the other. Trust your heart. It's telling you where to go

May King: Hang out with awesome people like Debra, Holly, Troy, and myself. You can never hang out with enough awesome people.

Troy: Grow your social using non-traditional ways. Meet people outside of the social bubble: have conversations, do things, and build that relationship equity outside of social. Then, when you get back on social, you have photos and things to talk about; maybe other things will happen beyond that too.

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Showcasing Yourself with artist Heather Eck, senior publicist Kat Neff (Llewelyn), and post-executive coach for women Viveka von Rosen (Beyond the Dream Board). It's the perfect way to wrap up Women's History Month. Everyone gets caught up in all of life's challenges, obligations, and routines. When you pause, re-evaluate your reason for being, and practice kindness, you set the stage to showcase yourself ... and everyone benefits

Heather, Kat, and Viveka share their backstories and the value of embracing your unique talents, along with what stops people from owning their path, ways to get started, and more.

Goals 

- Heather: Choose a color that you really love, that you're attracted to, and that makes you feel good; wear it and notice how you feel about it. And then also choose a color that you wouldn't typically go for and put that on this week too. Pay attention, slow down or stop, and notice what's happening for you when you put that color on.
- Kat: Do something good for yourself - something that makes you feel special - every single day
- Viv: Your audience needs to hear from you; get on camera

Final Thoughts
- Heather: Everyday, look for the things that make you feel open and full of possibility
- Kat: Be kind to yourself and be kind to the people around you; never miss an opportunity to do something kind
- Viv: We come from a paradigm of struggle and that you have to struggle in order to succeed. What if it was easy? What if we just tapped into our intuition, we trusted the universe, we acted from love and everything we ever could have dreamed of, plus way, way more, was presented to us. Trust your intuition and lead from the heart, because the universe has your back
