Wooo! Welcome to a brand spankin new season of TYFY! In this ep I'm joined by my left hand lady, Alex, for a quick chat and dramatic bio reading before hopping into our main episode with the one and only, Crosby Noricks. Wanna know more about Crosby? Great bc I want to tell you! Communication is central to Crosby's work.She is the founder of PR Couture, the industry-leading career development platform for PR professionals, which was recently acquired by Jeneration PR after fifteen years in the online education space. Crosby's vision, expertise, and accessibility have led her to educate, mentor and inspire industry professionals and brands internationally, for nearly 20 years. With the recent sale of her company comes a professional departure, or as we say these days, a pivot. Crosby is now developing a new body of work as a somatically-trained personal leadership coach, helping women in and around life's midpoint to reimagine and reconfigure their lives and contributions for greater inner and outer congruence. Crosby is a certified Empty Out practitioner and Body Breath Method guide. She has completed an integrative somatic parts work certificate and received training in the UZAZU method of emotional intelligence. Crosby holds a Master's Degree in Mass Communication and Media Studies from San Diego State University and graduated with honors from Pitzer College with a combined degree in Media Studies and Gender/Feminist Studies. Those interested can sign up for her newsletter, Body of Work, and register for her free Unfurl Summer Collective series at whereweunfurl.com. Crosby's Why: Our govt/society functions on the back of women's unpaid labor, physical and emotional. This has dire consequences for everyone. We do not have a community of care principle, we have systems that are broken, outdated and we have lost ancestral knowledge. We celebrate the maiden and avert our eyes at the chrone. We throw the weight onto women's shoulders and tell them to fix what is wrong systemically with journaling and a crystal bubble bath. I can't fix the entire planet, but I can guide women to connect and create from their sense of power. I can't remove the stressors, but I can alleviate some of the tension. I can help her learn to hold her own gaze, to take herself seriously, to lead, and to receive. I can remind her of the magic of women in circle, of her body, her wisdom, and her desire. I can help her more artfully conduct her universe. If you enjoy this episode please leave us a 5 star review! And if you need any support as a human, being, and/or CEO, reach out!

Have you ever thought about using PR to help or grow your online business? Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m so excited to be joined by Jen Berson from Jeneration PR. This is one that you're going to want to have a pen and paper out and ready to go because in the first six minutes, Jen's going to give you at least four tips on how you can leverage PR in your business (and how to do it without spending tons of time or money in the process)!
How do I get press attention for my fashion brand? Once I’m published, sales will just start rolling in, right? How do I drive customers to my fashion collection? I’m sure we’ve all thought this once or twice, “If I get published, it’ll be huge! People will start buying more, and I’ll be set.” The problem with that is that if you don’t choose the right publication, if you don’t target the right audience, you won’t see that large of an influx in sales. Also, if you don’t help leverage the attention you are getting, you’re missing out on a fairly large opportunity. In this episode of the FastTrack Your Fashion Brand Podcast, I’m talking with Jennifer Berson, the President & Founder of Jeneration PR, a Public Relations & Social Media Marketing firm specializing in promoting beauty, baby & lifestyle brands. She’s worked with a wide range of clients, and she is here to offer advice as to where you should be focusing your efforts, how to pitch publications, and how to get into the proper mindset. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT Different types of press and where to focus your efforts Steps to take when just starting out Breaking down your pitch How to monetize and make the most of the press you’re getting Finding the right mindset There are so many types of press, where should I focus my efforts? When you’re starting to look at different publication and trying to figure out which ones you should be inquiring with, it can be a bit overwhelming. So, with the hundreds of thousands of ads people are exposed to daily, how can I get them to pay attention to my collection? First you need to figure out which publication will work best for you. Ask yourself these questions: Who am I trying to sell to? Who is my targeted customer? Where are they reading? What are they looking at or watching? Does my collection align with the messaging in this publication You don’t want to just start inquiring everywhere, because it might now have the impact you expect if you are presenting your collection outside of your targeted group. So, you have to first identify your needs and go from there. What are the first steps to get started? Your PR expert, Jennifer, gave these simple steps for just starting out: Have great photography - both product and lifestyle images Have your pricing set - be consistent Know where you want to drive your customers Know your pitch angle Timing is everything! You have to remember that when you are trying to get published, you are no longer working off of your timeline. You’re working off the editor’s timeline. Some print campaigns may take a few months, so you have to be aware of this when deciding which collection you want to drive traffic to. Other publications, such as online ads, may have shorter turnaround times. What is a pitch and what should it say? Jennifer puts it best when she says that the best mindset to keep when trying to get published is “the worst they can do is say no.” Always keep this in mind, because depending on how many you inquire with, not everyone will say yes. A no isn’t always a solid no; sometimes it is just bad timing. So, back to the pitch - this is how you sell yourself to editors to get them to want to feature your product, collection, or company. This is all about giving, and sharing before you ask to be featured. Get familiar with the editor in charge of publication you want to be featured in. Share and like their social media. Begin engaging with them. That way when your pitch finally comes across their desk, it is a familiar name, and they will be more willing to spend time reading it. Your pitch should be short and sweet, and get straight to the point. But, it is also about selling your brand, yourself and your story! How do I leverage the media coverage once I am actually published? Share, share, SHARE! Figure out which social media you are most comfortable with, and focus on this. But, share your releases! Leverage with common verbiage, like Forbes said “We’re a game changer!” This helps build value in your company and your products. Don’t just think, I got published, and the pay day is going to roll in any day now. What is the right mindset to have when trying to get published? Jennifer is the queen of PR releases, and her one piece of advice for you is to get into the right mindset. Know that you are unique, that no one can tell your story better than you can. Yes, you will make mistakes. People will say no. But learn from the no’s. Have the confidence to actual tty, and keep at it!

In this conversation, Jen shares: How she originally got on the path to law school because she was looking for a reason to stay in the city where she went to college for the summer; Why observing women more senior to her in her law firm made her realize that working at a firm was not for her; What caused her realization that she could make her life happen for her instead of feeling like it was just happening to her; How she was advised by a female mentor to ignore mistreatment by a partner because it would be “career suicide”, but bravely spoke up anyway; How she started doing unpaid PR work on the side while working as a lawyer, before realizing it was something companies would pay for; How she dealt with her parents’ negative reactions to her decision to leave the law; How leaving the law ultimately inspired her husband to make his own career change; How she built a PR business from scratch, and the kind of work she’s doing now; Why she tripled her rates overnight, and landed her dream client the next day; Why your experience in law really can help you in so many other careers; and much more!

If you pick up any theme from today’s message, I hope it’s that you understand the importance of knowing who you are, honouring that, and treating yourself with respect for where you are now in your entrepreneurial journey. Key Takeaways: >> [0:29] Today’s podcast episode is part two of a three part special that covers when Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship. If you’ve missed part one, please feel free to go back and listen to episode MWH 195 : Building Your Business Around Your Life with Jennifer Berson of Jeneration PR. I had a really enlightening conversation with Jen all about how she navigated the early days of starting her business, how those days looked differently once her kids were born, and what her support network looked like. >> [2:36] During today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing my best tips for working at home with babies and toddlers. >> [2:56] I want to start this episode off with the disclaimer that we’re all unique and we’re all different. We need to honour exactly who we are at this given moment in time. I’m purely sharing what has worked for me, so it helps one person. I’m not some guru when it comes to this sort of thing, but what I’m sharing is what I have learned and put into practice over the last four years of being a business owner. >> [5:01] I only aim to get three things done in one day. Some days I feel like I’m more in flow and I can bust out so much stuff, but then there are other days where I can only get one task done. Life is full of expectations, and we are putting expectations on other people and on ourselves. You are the one that is putting the expectations on yourself. I’ve come up a “rule” of three and it makes me feel really good when I get things done. HOW I BREAK UP THE THREE THINGS I DO THROUGHOUT THE DAY: One thing I work on every day is something be related to marketing. Then, I work on something that generates income. I do this because if it’s income generating, it’s also impact generating. I try to learn something new every day. My third thing is always related to self-development. >> [10:09] Be aware of the expectations you’re setting on yourself. >> [10:43] Master your mind and the way you were designed to think. You can do this by getting to know yourself! Investing in yourself in terms of self-awareness and mindset. For instance, I know when my brain and energy is best for performing at executing tasks throughout different times during the day. >> [12:56] Your “Hour of Power” is actually something different when it comes to performance and entrepreneurship. It’s that time during your day when your’e the most energetically charged and things aren’t heavy. >> [15:45] Don’t punish yourself if you don’t meet your own expectations. It’s okay if your’e building your business at a slower pace. >> [16:58] During my eldest’s first two years of life, he was a serial cat napper. I couldn’t rely on getting a solid one or two hours. HOW DO I STRUCTURE MY DAY? I leaned into the Pomodoro Technique where you work for a solid 20 minutes followed by a 5 minute break where you do something completely different. It’s important to know what you’re going to do during those 20 minutes. >> [20:05] If you’re not a member of the Social Method Society, you can jump on the waitlist HERE. >> [21:06] I had old beliefs about what “work time” meant to me and that belief had me trapped. I forgot that I had the power to choose what “work time” looks like for me. It doesn’t have to look or feel like what it was when you worked for someone else. Your “work time” is in your control and you can structure it in a way that makes ...
Building Your Business Around Your Life - Part 1/3 In Our Special Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship Series The element of having young children around all the time when you’re trying to grow your business can really be a trying journey, but it doesn't have to be hard. Today’s podcast episode is actually part one a three part series of When Motherhood Meets Entrepreneurship that I’ll be exploring with you here on the podcast. This episode features a friend of mine who is going to inspire and empower you like crazy, so let’s dive right into it! Today’s guest is a mum, a powerhouse, a PR guru, and the one woman who is hailed as all three, is sitting on the virtual couch for today's podcast episode. I'm very excited to have an honest conversation about motherhood and entrepreneurship with my friend Jennifer Berson. During this episode, Jen's opening up about her motherhood and entrepreneurship journey. She's going to share how she navigated the early days of starting her business, how those days looked differently once her kids were born, what her support network looked like, and of course a DIY PR strategy for Mums With Hustle Podcast listeners. Key Takeaways: >> [3:51] Jen really wanted to be a present parent and when she looked around at her full-time career, she saw she had no role model. That’s when she realised she was going down the wrong path. She knew that her current career wouldn’t let her have it all or leave her feeling fulfilled. >> [5:42] Jen’s family was not supportive of her taking this swift career change. So she had to come to terms that her ultimate happiness was based on how she felt and how she wanted to spend her time. It was never about doing the things that make her parents happy. When she did tell her parents she was leaving her job in law, they were filled with fear. >> [10:01] When things don’t go as planned, Jen feel okay with that. Jen has always been proactive to make things happen for her. Jen's Business Journey >> [11:40] About 10 months in to her being a new mum, Jen invested in a nanny. She learned how to be laser focused so she could prioritise the things that matter to her and her clients. Jen also learned how to say no to the opportunities that took her away from her family. >> [13:40] Jen defines success of being able to have ownership of her time. Having her own business allowed her to take the time to fight for her son (who was diagnosed with Autism) to have a program for him in the school system. >> [18:19] We think we’re the best solution for our children, but it’s really good for our children to be around other kids. Jen is 100% open to having help with her children. Once Jen knew she needed it, she reached out to get support. >> [21:48] Feeling guilty for needing help is not productive, and it’s not a way to move your business forward. >> [23:48] Young mums in business have the feeling that they’ve got to do it all. So I’ve asked Jen to share her best advice for mums who are just starting out in business. What is Jen’s best advice for young mums in business? You can’t do it all, and that’s okay. Ask for help when you need it. Most spouses want to be helpful, but they don’t know how to help you if you’re not clear with what you need. Make sure you’re taking time for yourself through self-care. Celebrate your wins (even the tiny ones). >> [25:54] It's obvious that Jen has a place in her heart for entrepreneurs whose stage and budget do not allow for PR services. I asked Jen to share her best tips on how to DIY your own PR strategy! The good news is that PR is much more simple than you think. How to DIY Your PR Strategy: Start out with the mindset that the people on the other side of your pitch are just people. Your subject line should be just enough to get them to open the email. Express some interest in what they’re writing by making a personal connection. Spend a week or two before you pitch and start to connect thr...

Isn’t running a business like giving one pitch after another? Think about it. You’re an entrepreneur. That means you’re constantly pitching potential and existing customers, students and fans. So as intimidating as pitching an editor at Forbes or the Huffington Post may sound, you’re already doing it to some extent in other parts of your business. Landing more media opportunities will do a lot of great things for your business, like help you grow your email list, establish more street cred, and create more demand for your products and services. That’s why it’s more than worth your time to figure out how to pitch yourself successfully to media organizations and outlets. The question is: what’s the difference between a knockout pitch and the thousand other pitches that find their way into the trash? I’ll tell you exactly how. And to help me, I’ve got my friend Jennifer Berson joining me on this podcast episode. Jennifer was a lawyer working at a prestigious firm before she decided to follow her inner creative voice and start Jeneration PR, an ultra successful public relations and social media marketing firm.

And, don’t forget to download this week’s freebie. It’s a pitch template, based on the formula Jen delivers during the show. All you have to do is fill in the blanks and you’re that much closer to landing your next big media hit.

How do you position yourself as an expert without a large following or customer base? How should you structure your pitch? What are the biggest pitch mistakes? Let’s start pitching.

With the shift from print to digital media, you may be asking yourself if PR is still relevant and the impact could it potentially have on your business. Jen Berson know’s a thing or two when it comes to PR. Having spent 10 years in the industry navigating her way to now working with $150 million dollar brand, she’s managed to stay ahead of the curve. Jennifer founded Jeneration PR in 2005 after several years of practicing as a civil litigation attorney. Frustrated with the lack of creativity and slow pace of work in litigation, she began promoting a cosmetics line that she discovered on a trip to Europe and enjoyed it so much that it served as a catalyst to leave the legal field and pursue a full-time career in public relations.
