I’ll come running, to see you again.
winter, spring, summer or fall
all ya have to do is call.
And i’ll be there yeah, yeah, yeah
You’ve got a friend

I love love love Carole King and especially this song “You’ve got a friend”. If you haven’t heard of her just listen to Tapestry, released way back in 1971, it featured hits such as :
• “I Feel the Earth Move”
• “So Far Away”
• “It’s Too Late”
• and of course “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”—— we all know this song because it was made famous by Aretha Franklin, but few people know it is by Carole King.

She is an amazing singer-songwriter, before the name even existed. I thought of “You’ve got a friend” because I love what is happening in the BrandedU Sisterhood. Our sisters are all coming together, helping each other. I’ve heard so many amazing and supportive stories and it only makes me want to give more to the sisterhood. So instead of waiting till December, like we did last year, we will be holding a special summer High Tea just for you. I want you to really understand the value of a great network (one of the most important lessons in personal branding) and what your BrandedU Sisterhood can do for you.

Let me give you 6 ways networking can help your personal brand:
– it raises your profile
– you can get your message out in a natural way
– you make a stronger first impression
– people remember you easily
– you have more influence
– it sparks growth in your personal brand

So save the date! Sunday the 14th of August in the afternoon we will be holding a special networking sisterhood High Tea. Learning and connecting with each other over food, well that sounds like my ideal summer :-).

Can’t wait to see you there,
