How Can We Gain Visibility Through the Copy and Content We Share?
Putting yourself out there through email, social media, and even our websites can feel scary sometimes! I know the feeling. You’re getting ready to hit “share” with that post or hit “Go Live” on Facebook and you’re starting to second guess yourself…
Should I tell this story?
Should I really be putting myself out there?
Other people are more of an expert than I am…
What if no one likes it?
What if I make a mistake?
When we commit to showing up and get visible, and creating content to do so, it’s not always that easy. It can feel like all eyeballs are on us and the fear of tripping, flailing, flopping, and making a mistake is real.
I asked my guest, Laura Belgray of Talking Shrimp HER #1 antidote for the fear of showing up and she shared a powerful insight with me. She reminds us that it’s a gift to others when you show up and be visible.
“It’s a gift to other people when you show up as yourself and become visible.” – Laura Belgray
