Are You Ready to be on Oprah?
I just realized that I was!
Someone asked me today if I was ready to be on Oprah. Great question!!! So, I ask you dear Blog reader – If Oprah asked you to be on her talk show, what would you talk about? This goes back to all the stuff I preach about, and probably need to practice more – Personal Branding. What do you stand for in this world? What is it that people come to YOU for? What impact do you make on people that’s different from others? Shoot – That’s a big one, ain’t it?
As for coaches, I can think of a lot of self-proclaimed “experts” such as “America’s Dream Coach” or the “Purposeful Coach” or “The Growth Coach”, “The Shadow Coach”, etc… While this sounds a bit cynical, these folks are onto something. As for me? I am an odd blend of a do-gooder with a corporate background. Perhaps I should rename my business to the Capitalisic Liberal” or the “Small Business Therapist”, or “The Small Business Gal Pal”. Or the gal who gets CEO’s to trade places with refugees for a month so they can bring the message back to their companies about humanitarian aid. “CEO Swapper” Or … I digress, I procrastinate, I move on…
Okay – so if you ARE in business or if you have a job and want to keep it, tap into what you stand for. It feels really good to remember your self and share it with others. That could be your family, health, kids, literacy, Raine Wilson, … It may not be in your tagline but it will be in your heart and people will figure it out.
Back to Oprah, well, it would be a pleasure. Actually, I HAVE been on Oprah!! Picked up in the limo and green room and all… If you’d like to know why… send me a note.
