    BTS with Dallas Travers ~ The realities of navigating a huge content project!

    BTS with Dallas Travers ~ The realities of navigating a huge content project!

    Dallas Travers had a GREAT freakin' idea for a VERY large initiative she wanted to put into the world…
    It was an e-magazine that a bit of a 'disruptor' in the online space, with 3 main goals:
    1. Offer coaches alternatives to outdated approaches
    2. Provide space for underrepresented voices to be heard
    3. Raise money to donate funds to a meaningful cause
    When I got my eyes on it, the first thing I thought while it was, "DAMN. This is a fantastic piece of content."
    The second thing I thought was, "DAMN. This must've been an enormous amount of work to pull off."
    So I reached out to Dallas to see if she'd talk about the REALITY behind what it took to actually getting that big, exciting, impactful, amazing piece of content into the world…
    When she said yes, I was thrilled!
    You probably already know Dallas Travers: she's the host of Coaches on a Mission podcast AND is a well-known & highly respected coach of coaches.
    Dallas takes us behind the scenes to reveal what it's really like to develop such a big vision and bring her online magazine - called What To Do Instead (WTDI) - to life.
    The What To Do Instead project created challenges & forced Dallas (and her team) to
    evolve their priorities,
    put Dallas' strategic gifts into overdrive,
    and play with new tactics & approaches so they could hit their goals.
    In true Dallas form, she generously shares the lessons learned & gives advice that'll help you bring your own ideas to fruition…
    While honoring 'the dignity of your own process' - one of my personal favorite Dallas-isms.
    Listen in for inspiration, motivation, and a dose of reality - always a great trifecta.

    Leverage LinkedIn's untapped potential (without the snooze factor)

    Has LinkedIn made you yawn with its slog of dry job postings and phony baloney "congratulations" messages?
    (Just me then? Okay.)
    Well, in case you're LinkedIn curious but aren't sure whether it's worth it…
    Listen to this episode of Content Creation Made Easy where guest Tania Bhattacharyya shares her insights as a LinkedIn strategist, personal brand messaging expert & storytelling enthusiast who owns Lumos Marketing.
    1. Tania saves us from the LI snooze factor with storytelling that breaks away from corporate jargon & industry speak.
    You'll walk away inspired to weave a well-woven tale in your 'About' section & bring your profile to life.
    2. With that done, you'll learn the ins & outs of building real connections and a supportive network that go beyond BS likes. Engagement matters here.
    3. Lastly, Tania shares deep insights about navigating shyness & other limitations to instead craft a genuine presence that's impactful.
    OH!! One more thing! Apparently LinkedIn is a huuuuugely untapped platform, with only 5% of its users engaging on it!
    So, there IS space for you here! Tania's episode will help you make it your own.
    Tania jokes that she's "LinkedIn monogamous" & uses the platform effectively as her playground.
