🎙 “Talk your sh*t and post about it”- a remix of the best advice on public I’ve ever received. More insights below 👇🏾 I remember being approached for my first ever speaking opportunity by @renee.cd (who I barely knew at the time) and thinking “why is she asking me? I’m still figuring it out!” But speaking with her, she allowed me to realise how valuable my experience SO FAR is, and how much I can share from where I WAS at the time. Fast forward to a few weeks back, I was approached to speak on a @americanexpressuk panel exploring the subscription economy, amongst some founders/seniors from other companies including @citizenm @pastaevangelists and @wearefeel After the event I received some really special feedback and had some great conversations with those in the audience incl. seniors/directors from Burberry and the AMEX team themselves. One of the things I kept hearing was “You’re extremely relatable” “You looked so comfortable” “I loved the examples you shared” and “it was so inspiring to see a woman on stage”. My advice: Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and no matter how far you feel you are from reaching your “dreams” or “goals” my only advice (and I generally don’t offer advice, I only share my experiences lol) is to: 🗣SHARE MORE. Not only does it contribute to the world, inspire and allow you to connect with others, but you also never know who’s watching and want you to be a part of their stories/opportunities too 🤑 At the beginning of the year I wrote a list of brands I wanted to work with, @americanexpressuk was on that list. I didn’t reach out, I didn’t pitch. I believe the opportunity arose as a by product of being in the arena and embracing the discomfort and vulnerability of it all. Side note: I WAS VERY comfortable on stage, and felt very relaxed. I knew what I was talking about and I wore an outfit that made me look cute, that’s all I need 😅
