Special Report: Headshot Advice to Position Yourself For Success by Attracting The Your Right Audience With Your Photo- Part Two

Part Two of a two-part headshot series Humm, betcha don’t want your competitors to attract your prospects. Here’s headshot advice on the one thing that can give you the unfair advantage... that’s totally unique to you! Your photo. A carefree snap or a thought out visual message that speaks volumes BEFORE you get to say a word. That same photo can be both easy and strategic, as long as it’s authentic. In Part One of this two-part series, we went deep with these “can’t ignore” stats and research demonstrating how critical the right images are in your marketing, branding and positioning as a leader, expert, or someone worth listening to. You are the face of your brand The real job

Have to share! I was poking around on my iPhone and stumbled upon this fun photo of me hanging out backstage in the green room while I was waiting on hair & makeup for a TV show appearance. Notice something pretty obvious? I'm holding not one, but two Emmy Awards! I couldn't resist sneaking a photo with the Emmys just randomly sitting there. There were even more of them. (I’m sure the awards were there for guests to play with). This photo got me thinking that even though it would be nice to be acknowledged with such a prestigious award (and on multiple occasions), we all need to acknowledge and reward ourselves for the work that each and every one

How to take dating profile photos that will help you find your sweetheart Dating profile photos, oh my... While I personally don’t use dating apps (my husband would kill me, lol), I’ve certainly helped friends and students get the “swipe right” look with their dating profile photos. From what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of weirdness when it comes to showing yourself off online. It’s not your fault if taking a great photo doesn’t come naturally to you. But it is to your benefit to authentically position yourself in a way that attracts what you want to attract. Research states that it takes seven seconds to make a first impression in real life, and slice that down to instantaneous when

I couldn't resist doing this live video and sharing my sale shopping strategy and why you should think of end of the season sales as incentive shopping to boost your wardrobe. It was a cold day in New York City and I'm still trying to shake the flu but nothing gets me out earlier than a great sample sale, especially when it's for a few good wardrobe boosting pieces. I'm often asked about how to wear good clothes, and truthfully my look is a combo of designer, mixed with fashion forward pieces from cheaper stores like Zara (especially when I work from home), and some vintage thrown in. But it's the more high end pieces that you can get for

If you are an entrepreneur, coach, speaker or face of your brand, it's crucial that you know what a freemium is and how to successfully use them in your business. It may sound like some fancy buzz word, but freemiums are key to bringing in prospective clients and building your list, and although free, they are an excellent way to bring in long term financial results. Okay, so what is a freemium? Think of freemiums like a tasting appetizer... a beautifully plated and delicious treat that's an unexpected gift from the chef at a fine restaurant. The yummy bites are your first experience with the overall quality and style of food and its presentation in a restaurant. The tasty teasers give you

How to stand out in a crowded market by starting the year your way. Wow! I wrote this post about doing it your way on Facebook the other day and it instantly resonated with so many of you so I thought I'd take it further. Here's what I said... I'm starting the year my way! And I highly encourage you to do the same. :) One of the trends that I noticed in 2017 really broke my heart... It's that so many of us, especially women entrepreneurs, get lost in the GENERIC JUNGLE. They lose their personality... they lose their soul.. they lose their star power simply because they are too afraid to stand proud about who they are. They

New Year's Resolutions- Do this, not that!

🔥UPDATE IF VIDEO IS STILL FROZEN: FACEBOOK CREATOR IS CURRENTLY CAUSING A GLITCH IN REPLAY- WAITING FOR FACEBOOK TO FIX. Here's the truth, how about making a New Year's Resolution that will actually stick? Trust me, make this THE word to remove from your vocabulary if you REALLY want to move the needle forward in 2018. Okay dokey, some of you might find this livestream polarizing. Some of you may get your feathers ruffled, and some of you may get really pissed off. Good for you. I can't hold back anymore. After reading through the b.s. that shows up in my "business feed" inbox, I had to go live and speak the truth. My truth. Amongst the life coach, business coach

Behind the scenes of personal branding photography with Caroline White, the brand photographer that top women entrepreneurs turn to. If you are wondering what is personal branding photography, how to get professional photos taken that represent you in your most honest and best self, then this episode of the 7 Days to Amazing podcast is for you! I first came across photographer Caroline White and her breathtaking photographs of real people back when I was in B-School and she was Marie Forleo's photographer. Since then, it's her infectious commentary on social media and abundance of beautiful photos of an impressive amount of women entrepreneurs that have continued to peek my interest. That is until Caroline and I were seated next to each other

What the heck is b-roll and how to make it authentic to you? Yup, you hear about b-roll and have no idea of why it's so important. B-roll are the takeaway shots that create a story and help your audience connect with your message, lifestyle, values. They are the images that speak for themselves without words. The easy solution is to just buy stock footage. BUT, not only does descent stock (not the creepy stock that looks like a bad insurance ad from 1988) cost a lot it does not represent you! Yeah, you. So how the heck can you tell YOUR story and not clip together a batch of inauthentic clips that may or may not look like the

There’s no need to feel shame when you can confidently wear something pretty… “Don’t make me pee!” That’s what I used to say to my husband every time he told a stupid joke when I was pregnant. We’ve all had moments. Accidents can happen. We’ve all laughed too hard, had that cough attack, and not quite been ourselves during pregnancy. One in three women have experienced bladder leaks1, but for women who regularly experience a leaky bladder it’s no laughing matter. Research states that half of women surveyed say bladder leaks affect their personal confidence when they’re doing things they enjoy2. I’ve partnered with Always Discreet Boutique as a P&G Influencer to spread the word that bladder protection underwear can
