Enough Already

I accidentally started a series sharing all the “AHA” moments I've had about branding for consultants and coaches, inspired by writing my workbook. A couple of weeks ago, I shared the big picture – 5 things I learned in general. Last week, I broke down the three types of expertise. And today, I'm diving into your unique title and why it matters. For instance, imagine you're at a networking event... Someone asks what you do. You say, "’I'm a consultant’ or 'I'm a coach.’" You know what happens next, right? They look confused and ask, "What does that mean?" Now you're stuck explaining yourself while they're already mentally checked out. Now picture this instead: You don't say "consultant." You say "Customer Experience Designer." You don't say "leadership coach." You say "Executive Development Strategist." Suddenly, people get it. They lean in. They ask better questions. That, my friend, is the power of a unique title. Want to create yours? Then pay attention to this episode, where I'll be sharing: The emotional labor generic titles create for you Why you make it way easier for people to understand what you do when you use a unique title What you need to know before crafting your unique title And as a bonus, how to infuse your consulting or coaching with personality using a fun title Tune in now to say goodbye to your forgettable generic title and say hello to one that's clear, memorable, and uniquely you.
