This Women's History Month, Let's Celebrate All She Is! As social and influencer marketing managers, we have a powerful platform to celebrate women's history – but not just the history books. This March, let's move beyond CEOs and boardrooms, and amplify the stories of the everyday women who are shaping our world. This means going beyond the brand and sales goals. It’s time to see the celebration of women as more than a transaction. Here's how we can celebrate Women's History Month in a truly diverse and inclusive way: ✨Spotlight the "She-Achievers" Next Door: Feature women across industries, not just the C-suite. Highlight the doctor, the teacher, product developers, the artist, the entrepreneur, the graphic designer, the engineer – women breaking barriers in every field. ✨Embrace the Journey, Not Just the Destination: Showcase the struggles and triumphs women face on their career paths, in relationships, and in motherhood. Let's celebrate the everyday hustle that defines many women's lives. ✨Center Real Stories, Not Just Reels: Partner with influencers who embody different backgrounds and experiences. Share authentic narratives that showcase the diversity and complexity of womanhood. ✨Embrace the Power of User-Generated Content (UGC): Encourage your audience to share their own stories! Ask questions like: "Who is a woman who inspires you?" or "What challenges have you faced as a woman in your career?" ✨Connect with Your Community: Host events, webinars, or online discussions that promote women's empowerment and support. Foster a space for women to connect and uplift each other. Let's move beyond the picture-perfect narratives and celebrate the real, relatable women in our lives and communities. By showcasing their journeys, we inspire others to reach for their dreams and remind them: they see themselves in the stories being told. This Women's History Month, let's rewrite the narrative together.

Let's keep March 8th's energy going! 💃💃💃 Executive presence is a popular topic for a lot of women I've met lately. I get it. It's often the reason - or the lack of it - that we're told we're not fit for XYZ role. To make the burn worse, they won't tell you what that means or how to attain it. Let's change that. Let's intentionally express the leader that you are with an authentic brand and executive presence. Start a conversation with me, and see how 15min can change your life. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gixbNBxm #womeninbusiness #professsionalwomen #personalbranding

Show up. Give. And Ask. This was one of the many golden nuggets shared by Erika Bryant during my onboarding as a StoryBrand Guide. Here's how it works... ☝ SHOW UP - at the KZN Women in Business monthly networking meetings. ☝ GIVE - something away that will help others. #buildingastorybrand book was a no-brainer. ☝ ASK - the delegates to consider joining my 2nd Marketing Training Cohort starting on the 21st June. The order is important. Too often we see people asking before they're prepared to give. I'm a big believer in helping before selling...show value first, and then you avoid the hard sell we all hate. So, because I SHOWED UP here, and GAVE you this helpful advice, I can ASK you to click the link below and consider joining the cohort ;-) 👇 https://bit.ly/3SU1tsl Here's how it works: 1. Sign up 2. Meet online (every 2nd Friday for 90 minutes: 21 June to 22 Nov) 3. Learn, implement, and grow your business! #marketingtraining #marketingforsmallbusiness #marketingforsmes

Check out Catrina's bio and see for yourself! 🎨👩🎨 Nicole Stephens is a triple threat - as a networker, a narrator, and a content creator!
