“You got to dance little sister Don’t give up today Hang on till tomorrow“
Remember Terrence Trent Dāarby? His voice was so raw and pure! I remember when he came on the music scene, he just blew us all away.
I was dancing at the start of this week when I had an amazing first presentation masterclass on monday : Presenting comfortably! Helping women tell their story and make a connection with their audience is what itās about. Super grateful for my partners Buffi Duberman and Astrid Rose. We each dealt with one of these subjects: Preparation, Personality and Performance. Our next masterclass will be on november 9th, join us if you want to improve your presentation skills.
People always ask me how do you do it all? You know, how do you manage your stuff. And the answer is simple : I love what I do. And if it becomes difficult or hard, I just dance it off! Music is my medicine ;-).
You need to see this film of Yvonne van Sark, she was one of the speakers last week at the BrandedU seminar. Here she talks about the importance of Perception (how are you perceived) and also about the emancipation of girlsā¦.it is interesting stuff!
I will be giving a special talk next week on personal branding at the FREE event REGUS is hosting called : Let your brand rock! Have you registered here yet? Did I tell you it was free??!
So have a great week and donāt forget to dance little sister!
I was so annoyed that I didnāt get tickets to see U2 yesterday at Ziggodome, saw all this great pics on social media and was feeling a bit left out (insert sad face).
Looking for inspiration?
Weāve had an incredible BrandedU edition. No really, I mean the roof was on fire. So many inspiring speakers and for those who have missed it, I will be uploading a film of each speaker every week. This week it is Fatima Koningās turn. Without giving away to much, you will see the value of being visible when youāve listened to her story. Fatima is also organising a free seminar on : Let your brand rock. This will be on friday the 25th of September. I am one of the speakers, so please join us in the Regus Business Centre WTC in Utrecht.
For those of you interested Dr Yvonne Thompson has a free download here with several tips for a successful career. And you can always order your personalised copy of her book ā7 traits of Highly Succesful Women On Boardsā with our special conference discount, only until Saturday here.
Looking for connection.
Yesterday I gave a workshop to women at EY, it was a really valuable morning. Yesterday I showed them a video of Brene Brown. Have you heard of her? If not check out her TED talk on the power of vulnerability. But I also love her books. One that I have started reading is called ‘The Gifts of Imperfection: Letting Go of Who We Think We Should Be and Embracing Who We Are’. A great gift to give to your BFF.
Looking for tips?
Talking about gifts, I am giving away my 5 best tips on how to build a successful brand here on the Dutch ZZP Servicedesk website. Andā¦ I also give you laughter here where I talk about this crazy thing called entrepreneurship on ZZP servicedesk (not the same as the Ziggo Zakelijk interview I gave a few weeks ago).
Looking to get better at presenting yourself?
Monday itās GO TIME. The first BrandedU Presentation masterclass will be happening in Hotel Droog. There are only 4 seats left. No joke, this is your last chance to get in there with a discount (if you have followed our course before).
I went to see the film Straight outta Compton this weekend. And I loved it so much that I canāt stop talking about it. It was like I was back in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
The film is about the rise and fall of the notorious rap group NWA. And guess what, I discovered that these 5 guys from Compton were probably the best personal brand builders around!
Firstly – they always showed their TRUE self. Even when threatened by the FBI they still performed their art the way they wanted.
Secondly – They stuck to what they believed was living and communicating their TRUTH. This was all when nobody spoke about how badly they were being treated by the police. They sang about how they felt they were being discriminated against.
Thirdly – by living their TRUTH they were able to reach a big group of like-minded people (this band sold millions!) and create followers and a completely new music genre (gangsta rap).
Then lastly – they were great at promoting themselves and making themselves very visible. They were called a menace to society and claimed that title by calling themselves ‘the most dangerous group on the planet’. These guys managed to dominate the press headlines for a number of years.
Nina Simone said : An artist’s duty is to reflect the times and I finally realize how much this band did that. In a time where people like Bill Cosby were criticizing them for using profanities, oh dear with what we now know about Bill…! And now in 2015 Dr. Dre is the first rap billionaire after he sold Beats by Dre to Apple and Ice Cube has made over 150 million dollars starring in films such as Three Kings and 21 Jump street. I mean, who would have thought that the anti-establishment band would become so well established?
Itās a funny thing how living your TRUTH can make you feel liberated and not only that, how living your truth can motivate others to start living theirs!
Last week I had a session taping new videos with the speakers of the BrandedU seminar of this coming Monday. The first one we finished editing was of TV host Sylvana Simons. I keep making these films to hopefully inspire women who canāt make it to the seminars. In this film of Sylvana she speaks so eloquently about finding her TRUTH. I really hope it inspires you to uncover yours!
