As an entrepreneur or professional, you know the power of having a clear and compelling brand voice that resonates with your audience. You want your message to attract the right clients, opportunities, and partners - but knowing how to express your authentic self can feel like a challenge. Many women struggle with feeling like they need to fit a mold: too professional, not bold enough, or maybe even too much. The fear of sounding "wrong" or "inauthentic" holds many of us back from fully stepping into our voice, whether we're delivering a talk, crafting website copy, or writing emails. In this episode, I talk with Ashleigh Harvey, a copywriting and brand messaging expert (and Thought Leader Academy grad), about how you can confidently find and express your authentic brand voice to connect deeply with your audience. Ashleigh shares practical strategies for honing your message, so you'll attract the right people for you. We talk about: The common challenges women face when trying to find their brand voice How Ashleigh and I describe our own brand voices (I was surprised to figure out what my brand voice is!) Why authenticity is more important than ever in the age of AI-driven content The power of having a consistent practice for developing your brand voice Practical tips for writing copy that connects, persuades, and inspires action   Plus, Ashleigh and I announce an exciting joint retreat we're hosting in London next summer! Over 4 days (June 29-July 2, 2025), you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in developing your brand voice and story, all while experiencing the rich performing arts culture and women's history in an incredible city. Learn more at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/london/. About My Guest: Ashleigh Harvey runs The Story Team, her persuasion copywriting business. Her mission is to empower female entrepreneurs to embrace their authentic voice and weave it into their business, creating consistent branding and copy that converts. She works with female entrepreneurs from South Africa to New Zealand, from India to South Korea, from the UK to the USA, helping them with badass brand voice and copy tips. She is an unapologetic vegan who started her business from her car while working as a care worker. She swears too much, is far too loud, is working more and more on not caring too much about what other people think, and she wants to tell her story so that it may help other women to find their power.   Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/416/  Ashleigh's website: https://www.thestoryteam.org/  Apply for our London Brand Building Retreat in Summer 2025: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/london/  Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Ashleigh Harvey (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleigh-harveyldn/  Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 234: How to Create Content Using Your Authentic Voice with Ashleigh Harvey (Rennie) Episode 378: The Power of Women's Voices and Stories to Change the World

   This is the greatest story ever watching 10 Royals and three staffers sit out a series in Toronto because they don't want to take a shot that doesn't work to enter a country that doesn't want them.  They've broken no laws yet the bigots in the media believe it's ok to have blatant bias against their fellow citizens that have differing views.  How un American as we've been told to be tolerant and inclusive of others.  But not in this case.     A local columnist, behind a paywall where nobody can read it, has written a softly critical column "not here to demonize," laments that he'd like to talk to Whit Merrifield and the others but can't because he has Covid.  The writer is fully vaxxed and boosted.  You CANNOT make this stuff up.    And the Royals unknowns go out and beat Toronto anyway... 3-1 behind a Bobby Witt Jr. home run and some guy named Nate Eaton going yard.  

Let's look at the recent patch and the many many map changed which occurred to drive the adventure and mystery story lines forward. I'm super excited to see the impact of new Sr. Narrative Designer Richard Dinnick has on the Sea of Thieves Story. Let's look at his long history of story telling across many different medias for so many companies and IPs.

The best way to describe this episode is to share what my guest, copywriter Ashleigh Rennie, wrote when she scheduled our podcast interview: “When I was growing up in South Africa, the country was in the darkest days of the Apartheid. It was the 80s. Nelson Mandela had been in jail for twenty years. We were on the verge of a civil war. My parents were liberals who voted for democracy. And I was making speeches at school about social injustice, equality and marginalisation, and why Apartheid was wrong.   “Then I went to work for a non-profit, The Foundation for Tolerance Education, and I held workshops and made speeches about Apartheid, the Holocaust, and what it means to be a victim, a perpetrator, and a bystander.   “I'm passionate about being vocal about what you believe in. It's everything to me. It's a huge  part of my business and my work as a copywriter. For me it's feminism, human rights, animal rights, black lives matter, issues of privilege. I want my clients to find their voice and be unapologetic about putting it out there. But I also want my own voice to resonate with people.” As soon as I read this, I couldn't wait to interview Ashleigh!   Ashleigh and I talk about: Her background growing up in Apartheid South Africa How her early experiences influenced what she does now The importance of finding your authentic voice and weaving it into your business and your brand, in your copy and in your marketing Creating content that makes people fall in love with you because you're a little bit in love with yourself     About My Guest: Ashleigh Rennie runs The Story Team, her copywriting business. Her mission is to empower female entrepreneurs to embrace their authentic voice and weave it into their business, creating consistent branding and copy that converts. She works with female entrepreneurs from South Africa to New Zealand, from India to South Korea, from the UK to the USA, helping them with badass brand voice and copy tips. She is an unapologetic vegan who started her business from her car while working as a care worker. She swears too much, is far too loud, is working more and more on not caring too much about what other people think, and she wants to tell her story so that it may help other women to find their power.   About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.
