Lovely to hear Georgie Crawford mention guidance I give in my Personal Brand Masterclasses on her Soul Sisters Podcast co-presented with Claire Solan.
Tuning in as usual I got a great surprise while prepping for a four year old’s Birthday Party! 🎈🥳

To help you progress in your career and business I recommend getting and giving feedback from two people above you and two people working below you. Have 2/3 key questions ready for them and reciprocate with the very same. This will give you untold insights into your own performance, allow you to see if you are giving what others need from you in your role and build advocates for you in rooms are you are not in 🙌

It was a pleasure to have you MC and introduce me at the An Garda Síochána Women’s Network National Event .crawford

There is incredible power in women coming together and giving each other tools to uplift ourselves. I felt this in action all day yesterday as I spoke and listened to the brilliant women at An Garda Síochána Women’s Network National Event telling their stories and sharing lessons learned in their professional & personal lives.

I delivered my Masterclass ‘Empowering you to become more Visible through your Personal Brand’ to over 400 attendees. We covered:
⭐️ Elevating your In Person Personal Brand to progress your career
⭐️ How to become more visible In Person
⭐️ Building your Elevator Pitch
⭐️ Networking Authentically
⭐️ Delivering in Interviews
⭐️ Enhancing your Personal Brand Online

Some of my key takeaways:
of
Let go of the reigns and allow people to do what they do best.
Building resilience in our business and personal lives comes through practice and growth.

Spoke about her burnt potato analogy. As women we would normally give ourselves the burnt potato and everyone else the well cooked one. How can we expect to function fully as ourselves if we are always eating the burnt potato?

Consider the Q System - When you have similar items in your wardrobe why would you choose no. 13 or 14? There is no value in holding on to so many of the same thing in your wardrobe.

of
When life is difficult combine movement therapy along with talk therapy to help you feel a little better every day.

Laura Dowling of
Sharing knowledge and being open is how women become more comfortable and knowledgable about their bodies for their health and overall wellbeing. This is absolutely essential.

Thank you to Assistant Garda Commissioner Angela Willis and Garda Jessica Maguire for having me as part of your outstanding event.

Companies realise how valuable you are when you show and tell them.
“If you are an employee you need to start thinking about how to make yourself valuable to a company that no longer needs bodies. They need stars.” Brooke Masters on her recent Financial Times Article ‘The Boss is Back’.

A refined Personal Brand which allows you to give clear messaging on the value you deliver both in person and online amplifies how valuable you are.

Post pandemic and talent shortage attitudes held by businesses have now shifted due to the decrease in jobs available. This article highlights the shift towards less amenable working environments now and into the future.

Breaking down who you truly are and communicating it is at the core of Personal Branding. It is what creates authenticity. Authenticity builds trust 🙌

Every leader in business and politics needs to build trust. They cannot move or operate without it. Think about those you know - for some it comes naturally, for many it takes work behind the scenes and then appears to have come naturally. This is where I come in - supporting leaders in pin pointing their key messages and communicating them 📣

I enjoy each episode of ‘When it Hits the Fan’. David Yelland and Simon Lewis look at the communications impact major stories of the week have. Here you can tune into the importance of messaging and how it is translated in media.

📰 Today’s Business Post
I am delighted to feature in today’s Business Post and as Editor’s Pick both online & in print: https://www.businesspost.ie/life-luxury/meet-the-personal-brand-coach-helping-top-irish-execs-get-seen-and-picked-for-their-next-big-role/

I started Áine Image & Communications when the words ‘Personal Branding’ were only to be found in small pockets online. Now professionals are highly attuned to the positive impact and rewards it has on their businesses and careers. It is fantastic to see this highlighted further in today’s Business Post.

“You never know who is watching” is the perfect introduction to the piece as it is so very true. Clients constantly tell me the work they do on their Personal Brand online or in media might not be engaged with online as much as they would hope. Instead their content and media profiling is mentioned to them it by key decision makers when they see them in person. Clients only realise the true value of the work they do on their Personal Brand when they see the long term feedback it yields.

The importance of Personal Branding in Business and the work I do with c-suite has been highlighted and thoughtfully written about by Killian Woods.
