Your brand isn’t just your logo—it’s the way you show up everywhere. And in today’s remote-hybrid world, your virtual presence matters more than ever.

Here are 5 simple but powerful branding tips that help you show up polished and on purpose—whether you’re leading a meeting or recording a video call.

🔹 1. Be Consistent with Color & Style
Use your brand colors and fonts everywhere: in your slide decks, business cards, Canva graphics, and even your Zoom environment. It builds trust and visual recognition instantly.

🔹 2. Clarify Your Core Message
What do you want to be known for? Confidence? Strategy? Creativity? Keep your visual and verbal choices aligned with this message in every setting.

🔹 3. Use a Custom Zoom Background
A tailored Zoom background does more than hide your laundry—it reinforces your brand visually and sets the tone for how others perceive you. From bland white walls to executive steampunk that underscores the practical side of service for my brand, your environment becomes part of your personal story even before you speak.

🔹 4. Show, Don’t Just Tell
Whether you’re speaking, teaching, or leading, let your surroundings and digital assets reflect your credibility. A strong brand shows people you’re serious, without you having to say it out loud. If you’re on a Zoom call and never get to say a word your custom brand background is making connections for you.

🔹 5. Think Experience, Not Just Aesthetics
Your brand is how people feel after they interact with you. So think beyond graphics—what tone do you bring? What energy does your brand evoke?

The Naked Truth and The Emperor’s New Clothes

Posted on January 31, 2024 by - , ,

Meet your business fairy godmother in her business library studying up on how NOT to the emperor with his new clothes.

Wow! I’m right on point for the naked current truth of social media in “The Emperor’s New Clothes and the Naked Current Truth.” I keep asking myself what makes an “Influencer” influential and how do you really know person “X” is a “thought leader”? I’m questioning what I see and hear lately and it’s not because of my age.

When you have a marketing background you understand what goes into creating influence. It takes imagination, repetitive positioning of your point of view, and ad spend. Let’s hope that you have the secret sauce to build awareness. Sometimes it’s the number of times you’re in front of your audience or the fact an already established “Influencer” wants to share what you’re doing or selling to validate you or your brand. Just thought I should share this for all the sheeple out here.

Your real power is understanding how a brand is built. Pay attention to the real value, the real service, and the actual quality of what you’re getting. Don’t be caught like the emperor with no clothes! If you are caught “naked,” walk proudly down the street. People will talk about your confidence and crazy. You will definitely stand out. That’s the point if you want to be recognized. It’s #justapointofview.

Real Women Oh my word! I am so inspired right now I had to write this blog post. I’ve been marketing and advertising since I was 19. The tools I’ve used have certainly changed over the years. Let’s just say the color of my hair changes about every 10 weeks, now. I’ve been marketing or advertising for a while in varying degrees for all kinds of businesses. For the last 17 years I’ve been promoting my company, The Concierge Office Suites. Let’s just say, I have some experience.

Expert Status, How to Achieve it!

Expert Status, How to Achieve it!

Don’t ever claim the title of expert for yourself! You can never know everything about anything. Business owners have been burned by so many people that said they “knew everything” about something, i.e. an expert. The term expert has been given a bad name by those that claimed the title without doing the work to validate the experience.

Thought about LinkedIn and Other Crazy Ideas.

It’s been an exciting two weeks. Linkedin the big Picture has been shared with my fans of The Concierge Office Suites during our May 21, 2014, Idea Factory, a Jelly! Chattanooga event; one of my master mind attendees during a one-on-one coaching session; and a local gathering of entrepreneurs that meet once a month in Chattanooga, TN!
