We have all heard the expression, "you are your biggest asset." So why do so many of us feel reluctant to let our personality shine in business? Maybe it's because we don't know how. Or worse, we fear showing too much of ourselves will alienate potential clients or colleagues. Surprise! It’s actually the opposite. People are hungry for personality. That’s what drives connection. Danielle Hughes, founder of More Than Words Marketing, helps individuals learn how to develop their Genuine Personality Brand to stand out in a sea of sameness and a world of duplicates. Danielle created the concept of Personality Brand after realizing that personal branding isn't for everyone. After all, if something is personal, why share it with the world? But our personality is innately baked into who we are and already on display. Danielle helps people tap into that personality, shine a light on it and use it to showcase what makes them special. 

In this presentation, you will learn:
- How to create content and messaging that positions themselves and their role to be distinct from everyone else 
- How to highlight their uniqueness in a genuine and relatable way 
- How to better advocate for themselves to land the right roles and assignments 
- How creating a genuine Personality Brand increases their confidence so they can do their best work

Welcome to Bragtown: Population You

Two-thirds of all conference speakers are men…a large percentage of them because they still hold more positions of power and prestige. This prevents others from tapping the many benefits of public speaking. It also creates a vicious circle of bias as speakers are seen as thought leaders and experts, perpetuating the myth of male dominance. (You’ll never be seen as a leader while sitting in the audience.)

What does it take to become a thought leader? To be seen as the expert or the authority in your field? Often, nothing more than the willingness to stand up and share your ideas in public. But how can we open stages to all? How can we create paths to the stage suitable for everyone? With this behind-the scenes look at gender-equity and inclusion at conferences, events, and throughout the world of professional speaking, you’ll learn about the personal, professional and organizational benefits of public speaking, and what it can mean for you and your team.

Takeaways:
- Understand the processes and tactics you need to employ to be selected as a speaker
- Understand how public speaking impacts your public persona
- Learn specific things you can do to kick-off a speaking career or business

We become vulnerable to depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue and burnout. Especially after the time of pandemic, other national and global well-being concerns, taking time to discover or rediscover well-being habits that support resilience is more important than ever.
