3 Ways to Get Confident on Camera

What Hamilton Has to Do With Your Content & Thought Leadership

I saw Hamilton on Broadway with my daughter - the day after I gave a keynote speech at Inman Connect NYC.  I had a huge aha moment for you that I wanted to share. The song “The Room Where It Happens” was stuck in my head (amazing ear worm!), and it’s about the closed-door meetings where political deals get made.

What Do New Year’s Resolutions Have to Do with Your Social Media Marketing: Everything!

Ah, the term “personal brand”—an industry buzzword we love to hate but can’t afford to ignore. At its best, building your personal brand sets you up as a go-to expert and opens doors. At its worst, it feels like an all-consuming monster demanding content sacrifices at the altar of the algorithm. So how do you find the balance?

What are Content Pillars & Why You Need Them
What are Content Pillars & Why You Need Them

Content pillars have been a game-changer for my client’s content strategy! They’re not just some marketing buzzword—they’re the foundation of a cohesive social media & video strategy. Content pillars are the key themes I return to - and my clients return to - over and over. I use content pillars - also known as ‘content buckets’ - whether creating a video, a social post or a blog post. Content pillars help my clients and I stay consistent, build credibility, and connect with my audience in a meaningful way. For anyone looking to grow their influence, especially the thought leaders and professionals I coach, having solid content pillars is non-negotiable.

After an impromptu juggling lesson, I filmed him and was thinking about the visual & entertaining expectations we believe exist around content! This correlates to a client question I get all the time: How do I make interesting content when my actual work isn't very visual or glamorous?
