On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks embracing your persona with Bobbie Carlton, founder of Innovation Women; executive stylist Nina Fountain; and media strategist Cheryl Tan. The trio offers their takes on the external sides of persona from the perspectives of speaking, style, and media, and the internal work needed to identify and project your aspirations to the world.

Bobbie, Nina, and Cheryl also discuss the value of personas, the challenges women speakers face, how to balance TMI (too much information) with authenticity, and more. Happy DEBcember!

Goals

– Bobbie: Spend time thinking about your overall goals of becoming known. Create a personal Venn diagram: see where your knowledge overlaps with your brand and what your audience needs

– Nina: Figure out your core personality/strengths/uniqueness, and your style persona

– Cheryl: Get on camera. Do a 5-day video challenge; 30 seconds a day

Final Thoughts

– Nina: Let style be liberating

– Bobbie: Get comfortable with yourself and speaking

– Cheryl: Knowing your persona helps you create connections
