Who's fooling you? Remember: You're the company you keep!

Spring is here, what's next?

Well; for starters, it's gorgeous and bright! More importantly; it's time for new beginnings and rolling the heavy stones away that keep you weighted down!

Don't be fooled by April Fools' Day! Make sure you're the company you want to keep! So why not make it count?

Over the years I’ve coached and trained women entrepreneurs to own their stage with humble confidence.?

Authentic communication is one of the cornerstones of any communication and can be learned by any commercially driven brand with a social purpose to communicate their impact without the fluff!?

I help women like you humanise your brand through the GIVA awards platform to Think. Lead. Communicate your messaging and tone of voice as a global PR prescription to help you gain credibility on and offline.

Your Monthly PR Rx

Congrats! You got the call for your first pitch to a journo!

But are you ready-set-to-go? Here are 5 top tips to help you master the art of perception to get pitch perfect for your first pitch call.

1. Get Pitch Perfect! Move over elevator pitch! Elevator Pitching is overrated and not a method you can use on journalists. Journalist do not like salesy pitches whose main agenda is to serve your self-interest. Make sure your pitch is genuinely non-transactional but of human interest.
2. The Art of Perception: The industry secret to overcoming the impostor syndrome is the Art of Perception, that is the PR prescription in presenting yourself as a Thought Leader and backing it up!?Be the expert and lead the conversation so you sound and are seen to be knowledgeable and not the other way round.
3. Use natural language: Journalists can SMELL an impostor or the syndrome of it…The best way to avoid falling into this unwelcome category is to be prepared with your authentic human story narrative [NOT BRAND JARGON] Journalists will let you know when its time to speak about your brand – but if you do it too soon – it may be off putting for them and they will go in ‘defence mode’ and act dismissive towards you.
4. Facts not fiction: Its essential you DO YOUR HOME WORK’ and ensure you know the REASON for the media opportunity inside out and you are ready to present yourself as the THOUGHT LEADER backing it up with STATS!

5. Be Authentic: Remember journalist love fact checking. If you say something that does not add up, you'll either be humiliated (if in camera) or they won't print your article and we'll never call on you ever again.

Always come over prepared, than being on the back foot scrambling for details!

The Scoop:

Did You Know?

We have so much in common! Just like you, I too, volunteer my personal time and skills to pursue non profit special projects because am passionate about building relationships with female intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs; by collaborating with them on social impact projects; GIVA is one of those passion projects :-))

What if I'm not sure the best way to take part?

1. you can either choose to participate for FREE to gain 'award winning' bragging rights before your name or
2. you can be at the front line as a Judge / sponsor of any of the different tiers

Either way, you can play a vital role in this event by becoming involved, showcasing your work, and benefiting from the outstanding promotional and commercial opportunities presented to your company as a form of cause marketing PR strategy.

Can I do both?

Well of course you can! So there is no bias, our judges don't know if you're a sponsor or not. Neither does the GIVA team get involved in the selection process, so we have no say who wins! Either way, don't miss out on this chance to make a significant impact! Become a Global Ignite Vision + Action awards sponsor today and unlock endless possibilities for your company's growth!
