What is a responsive website?

A responsive website is a website that adapts to the device it is being viewed on. For example, if you view a site on a laptop and then view the site on a mobile, you should have equally good experiences of that website but not the same experience. On the mobile, the website may have a slightly different design and content may have moved to make it easier to navigate and view utilizing the controls available on a mobile device.

It’s simply the extent to which someone can recall or recognize a brand.

What is the biggest challenge of branding for a keynote speaker?

A top challenge is differentiation while keeping integrity and consistency with what buyers and event planners are comfortable with.

A/B testing is a great technique for uncovering the best email marketing tactics and timing for your specific audience.

What a Strong Personal Brand Can Do for Your Career in 12 Months

A strong personal brand can transform your career in just 12 months when built with clarity and consistency. In today’s attention-driven market, visibility is opportunity — and professionals who position themselves clearly stand out faster. In the first three months, the focus is clarity: define what you want to be known for and align your messaging around it. Months three to six are about consistent visibility, showing up regularly where your audience already spends time. By months six to nine, opportunities begin coming to you — from podcast invites to recruiter outreach. And by months nine to twelve, your brand starts generating real career momentum: client leads, speaking opportunities, promotions, and stronger networks. Personal branding compounds over time. Small, consistent actions — posting, engaging, networking — stack into authority and trust.

The Science Behind a Personal Brand That Sells

A personal brand that sells is not built on visibility alone — it is built on trust, proof, and strategic communication. This article breaks down the science behind why some personal brands convert attention into revenue while others don’t. By understanding the psychology of trust, demonstrating authority through teaching, using storytelling to create emotional connection, and consistently showing proof of results, you can build a brand that attracts opportunity instead of chasing it. The key is balance: teach valuable insights, tell meaningful stories, show real proof, and sell with intention. When your brand consistently delivers value and aligns with identity and community, sales become a natural outcome - not a forced action. Build trust first. Revenue follows.
