This week’s guest, Helen Deakin, recently wrote a blog post for Freelance Heroes entitled “Telling Your Freelance Story During Coronavirus” in which she included “Telling your freelance story – explaining who you are, how you can help, and demonstrating your values – is more important now than ever.” She added “As a freelancer, you have your own brand to protect. Taking some time to consider how you are communicating during this crisis will help you build and maintain your reputation.”
We have all got a lot to deal with at the moment, so what better way to kick off the year with a clearer direction of how we help ourselves to stand out to our audience, amongst the noise and show the authenticity that makes us more attractive.
As Maya Angelou famously wrote, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
What about you?
