What is the MAGIC FORMULA for sharing tasteful amounts of PERSONAL vs. PROFESSIONAL content? . Last night I had the pleasure of speaking at The Urban League of Greater Madison on personal branding and it was the best dialogue I've had over the past 45 speaking engagements this year! Why? Because of the deep interest in professional development and thought-provoking questions, such as how to manage your PERSONAL vs. PROFESSIONAL digital reputation. Do you merge them together... or keep them separate? PERSONAL: builds character and trust. PROFESSIONAL: establishes thought leadership. It's an ART to bring the two together in a tactful, intentional manner. If you are facing the same challenge, let's talk! I'd love to help you grow your digital reputation to reach those career goals. In the meantime, make sure to connect with the wonderfully talented Doris ! She empowers women with etiquette and confidence consulting. She is also a fashion designer with an eye for aesthetically pleasing patterns and accessories. #PersonalBranding #DigitalReputation #SocialMedia #SmallBusinessMarketing #BrandSpeaker #Branding #DigitalMarketing #ChantelShares …see more

This weekend I had the honor and privilege of speaking at Kirsty Blattner 's Recalibration Retreat at the gorgeous Holy Wisdom Monastery, surrounded by fields of wildflowers, weeping willow trees, and bodies of water. Before my session, I was able to learn from these ambitious men and women about their fears and challenges, with an overwhelming need to highlight how to let go of shame in order to blossom. Reading the audience and recognizing this need shifted my presentation last-minute as I made new best friends and powerful connections. Leaving the courtyard, my hand brushed this slimy little fella, so small I almost missed him! I've never seen a frog so small before and acknowledge all signs as gifts, quickly researching this symbolism: "The frog symbolism signals a time for rebirth or renewal. Your frog totem can thrive both in water and on land. This frog meaning simply tells that you are also inclined to navigate between physical, emotional, and spiritual planes, and find joy in life and nature." How beautiful and incredibly fitting for this amazing experience?! A special thanks to all of the incredible men and women that welcomed me into their lives and hearts during this powerful experience! #Transformation #Recalibrate #PersonalGrowth #CareerGoals …see more

Is your content quality on a good level? Yay, so you post consistently. But are you posting low, medium or high quality? Posting lower quality posts can hurt your brand. You would want to post things that: - helps people - solves people their pain points - is insightful - entertains people - something that makes them happy. A good way to see what a quality post is by looking at your competition or industry leaders within your niche. Whom do you respect? What type of content are they posting? How do they post? Their connections vs posting frequency. What they do informs how you should post. So, are you posting for the sake of it? Or posting to provide value. #stringtheory on #personalbranding #digitalmarketing …see more
