Today, we dive deeper into the concept of crafting a unique personality brand that captures attention and makes you stand out in your industry.
Together with my guest, Danielle Hughes, we explore the power of storytelling and humanizing a company to build a genuine connection with your audience.
Danielle Hughes is the creator of the Personality Brand. She teaches clients how to bring more of themselves into their message so they feel comfortable expressing it and can convey what makes them different from their competition, attracting the right audience and repelling the wrong one. Often referred to as a magician with words, while she can’t pull a rabbit out of her hat, she can hone your brand message and deadlift you or your employees, but not at the same time. That’s just irresponsible. (note: Danielle is available for office party tricks and accepts payment in bottles of Bordeaux.)
