Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity can be described as a combination of the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves  and others, which shape our identity and actions. The journey to authenticity begins with noticing the stories we tell ourselves and questioning their truth to better understand who we truly are. While authenticity is often described as being true to oneself, there are a range of pitfalls that may result from our behaving authentically. Take action by making a note of the stories you tell yourself, then questioning whether they are truly reflective of who you are - these stories are at the heart of how you show up as a leader so to shift your leadership and what you are known for, you may need to rethink the stories!     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Initially tested as the Search Generative Experience, this AI feature now delivers summarized search results, drastically altering consumer behavior and brand visibility online.

Send us a textWhat happens when your work no longer feels true to who you are? In this eye-opening conversation with Professor Richard Thompson, we explore the challenging yet rewarding journey from corporate success to educational impact – a transition that reveals profound lessons about purpose, authenticity, and personal reinvention.After 25 years in telecommunications with companies like AT&T, Thompson reached a critical crossroads when he could no longer deliver the customer satisfaction that had once energized him. Rather than continuing down a path that conflicted with his values, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately revealed his true purpose: helping people grow. This realization led him to education, where he now empowers students to find their own path by understanding their passions, strengths, and interests.Thompson shares a practical framework for anyone contemplating career transitions: identify what you're passionate about (what you'd do without payment), what you're good at (as validated by others), and what genuinely interests you. By exploring careers connected to these elements, you can uncover dozens of potential paths aligned with your authentic self. The critical insight? You don't start over when transitioning – you repackage the valuable skills you've accumulated throughout your professional life.For professionals feeling stuck or unfulfilled, Thompson offers reassurance that your experience is never wasted. The key lies in networking extensively, researching thoroughly before making changes, and understanding that modern careers require adaptability. As he wisely observes, three things are always in motion: social norms, technology, and time. Don't waste precious time in work that doesn't align with your true self. Instead, focus on who you want to BE rather than what you want to HAVE, and everything else will naturally follow.Ready to discover your purpose and make a meaningful career transition? Listen now and learn how to turn professional expertise into personal fulfillment. Then share your own transition story with us – we'd love to hear how you're redefining success on your terms.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

We have all been there, you think you can do something yourself to save a buck. Problem is you end up spending your valuable time trying to figure out something you have no knowledge of to avoid spending money and it ends up costing you way more money in the long run.   A guy called me over the weekend asking for advice on creating a new website for him because his girlfriend created the first one and they broke up so she was threatening to take it down. He hesitated on spending the money thinking he could do it himself. I asked him how many websites he had created and he said, "well, none." I reminded him of the time it would take for him to figure out how to create a website when he could be working on his business and hand it over to an expert.   It got me thinking about the reasons hiring a marketing expert will save you time and money in the long run. Check out "5 Reasons You Need a Marketing Pro" on the next episode of the DO IT MY WAY Podcast.   As a business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. Spend it wisely!

His career began not in a classroom, but aboard the USS Harry S. Truman, where he served as an electrician and shutdown reactor operator after enlisting in the Navy post-9/11. Since then, he's steadily climbed the OT ranks—from maintaining electrical systems at sea to managing IACS networks for a global fleet of drilling rigs, and now, advising critical infrastructure on how to secure their operational environments. Oren brings a rare combination of deep technical insight and real-world plant floor experience to the evolving challenges of OT cybersecurity. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology and a Master's in Information Security Engineering from the SANS Institute.

And while she acknowledges that “it can feel intimidating” to actively steer how we're perceived, her EPIC framework helps navigate this challenge by examining our Experiences, Personality, Identity, and Community.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lee and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for showing up memorably in both virtual and in-person settings.

Your title and qualifications don't capture your full career pivot value. In fact, they only tell half of your professional story.  So much of your real value - who you are, what you are passionate about, your career aspirations, etc. are not captured in what is found on your resume. If you've been wondering why you aren't attracting new opportunities, particularly the type of opportunities you want for the next phase of your career, then this episode may be exactly what you need to start your breakthrough. In this episode, I challenge you to ask yourself two questions: “What do I want to be known for?” and “How do I set myself apart professionally?”  I share key strategies that can help you position yourself for a pivot by differentiating your professional profile with a strong personal brand. What you will learn: What is personal branding. Understand the process of strategically managing your public image. Why it's important for health professionals wanting to pivot careers. Importance of showcasing your unique skills, expertise, and value. How to craft a profile that expresses your value, demonstrates your interest and tells the world what you have to offer  Consciously craft your online and offline presence to position yourself for a pivot TAKE ACTION: Spend some time reflecting on these points: Think about whether you have a personal brand and if you think you do, what does it say about you (you can ask others) Audit your digital profiles / online presence (what does it say about you?) If you don't yet have an established personal brand, ask yourself these 2 questions: ‘What do I want to be known for?”  “How do I set myself apart?” Update one part of your online presence this week—your bio, profile photo, or headline—and align it with where you're going professionally,  Start creating your Personal brand today!   MORE WAYS TO CONNECT: Follow Us on Instagram: @lifebeyondclinicalpractice Follow LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/104404906/admin/dashboard/ Join our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/897241125152990 Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-beyond-clinical-practice-healthcare-careers-professional/id1713086617 Book a Strategy Call with Dr Diane https://calendly.com/lbcp/strategy-call  Enjoyed this episode?

WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY STARTING MY PODCAST If I were to start this journey all over again, what would I do differently? That's exactly what I cover in this episode of Podcast Talent Coach. After years on the radio and over a decade in podcasting, I've learned a lot—often the hard way! In this week's episode, I lay out three crucial things I'd do differently to help you avoid the same mistakes. You can command attention with your content, and actually attract clients instead of endlessly chasing them down. You don't have to struggle to find listeners if you set up your content for engagement, connection, and growth from the start. RESOURCES MENTIONED: Podcast Talent Coach: www.PodcastTalentCoach.com The Big Party Show: https://hurrdatmedia.com/hurrdat-one/shows/the-big-party-show/ LEAN INTO YOUR PERSONALITY EARLY The first think I would do differently: lean into personality sooner rather than later. For years, I tried copying other radio personalities, and it just didn't work. Your authenticity is magnetic. Listeners fall in love with who you are—not just what you say. That genuine connection builds trust and keeps people coming back. When I finally started just being myself, everything changed. That's when my shows started reaching the top of the ratings, and I was able to help others do the same. The secret isn't in the content; it's in the storyteller. Share your stories, your quirks, and your unique perspective. Because you are what makes you worth listening to. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS The next thing I'd do differently is find joint venture partners much sooner. JV partners will promote you to their audiences, helping you explode your email list, get in front of ideal clients, and grow your business faster than you ever could alone. Not all JV partners are equal, though. So, focus on finding the ones who are active promoters and are aligned with your values. By plugging into the right partnerships, I took my email list from 500 to over 5,000 in just a year. If you want explosive growth, don't go it alone—collaborate! Your network is a growth multiplier, not just a way to get your name out there. HIRE A COACH TO SHORTCUT YOUR SUCCESS The third thing I'd do differently? Get a coach early. I know there's hesitation. "Will it be worth it? Will I actually implement?" But, having the right mentor is a game-changer. I waited six years before hiring my first coach, and progress after that skyrocketed. Different coaches have helped me with sales, offers, content, and scaling systems. A mentor helps you not just gather information, but actually implement it, saving you years of trial and error. Remember: information alone doesn't create transformation. You've got to take action—and a great coach will help you do just that. TURN INFORMATION INTO ACTION If you want to stand out and attract both fans and clients, it's all about taking action. Don't just collect PDFs, lead magnets, and courses. Decide what's going to move the needle and make it happen. Most content creators never act on what they learn. Be the exception. Whether it's refining your origin story to create rapport, building JV relationships, or working with a mentor, execution is what will separate you from everyone else. Attracting clients and building powerful relationships with your audience starts the minute you put yourself into your podcast and follow these proven strategies. Want to talk more about how to implement this in your show? Reach out to me. You can email me at Coach at PodcastTalentCoach.com. I can help you develop your unique brand, build authority, and create content that actually grows your business. If you're ready to take action, let's chat—and I'll help you become someone worth listening to and learning from! Find more resources and coaching information at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com.
