Wow. I’ve had some incredible opportunities to speak in these last two weeks on two topics that go hand-in-hand and that I love very much - social media strategy and personal branding.?
I had the pleasure of teaching 24 restaurant and small business owners social media with Charlotte Center City Partners ' Hub for Inclusivity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (HIIVE) program.
It’s an awesome small business resource hub that provides educational curriculum and operating space opportunities to food and retail businesses. I am so impressed by what each of the cohort members is building. Entrepreneurship is not easy and I left feeling inspired.
I also had the amazing honor of teaching more than 300 women how to build, not just a personal brand, but a POWER PRESENCE at Molly Grantham ’s inaugural Bet On Yourself Summit. The full-day event was filled with inspiring women's stories and the reinforced knowing that we truly can do anything we set our hearts and minds to.
There were so many friends I hadn’t seen in a long time, former WBTV News colleagues I got to catch up with, and new ladies that I’m now on a journey with committed to continuing to Bet On Yourself. I walked away with just the best feeling. I’m still buzzing. So happy for Molly and this movement that she’s started.
