264. How to Be Both Authentically You AND Professional in Your Business Brand
The BIG question on many online entrepreneurs' lips: can you truly be yourself online while still coming across as professional?
This comes up regularly with my Business JAM clients when we're talking branding, especially for those who are stepping into their authority era as a thought leader.
We know that BOTH authenticity and professionalism are essential in todayâs fickle online space - if you want to attract quality clients easily, that is.
Although it feels like they're opposites.... (like how can I show up as my full imperfect human self, and yet still have that 'shine' of the professional?) ... the truth is they can co-exist!
It's just a matter of redefining in your mind what professionalism and authenticity look like.
You don't need to air all your dirty laundry publicly to be 'authentic'. Just like, you also don't need to be perfect to be 'professional'.
If youâve ever felt completely muddled in how to tick both boxes, this episode was made for you!
This week on Sheâs The Business Iâm sharing exactly how you can show up as both genuine AND a credible professional on your social media and online platforms.
Iâve got 7 practical, real-world tips you can start using straight away - no fluff, just clarity.
Whether youâre worried about oversharing, or not sure how much âyouâ to allow into your business presence, this episode will clear the fog.
Hereâs a taste of what youâll hear:
-
Why being a real human, flaws and all, is your greatest asset - and how to let your personality shine without losing that sense of professionalism.
-
How to use emotional intelligence to retain that professionalism while still being open and sharing your thoughts.
