Would you like to build a more engaged Audience?

Is Your audience currently talking to you?

Do you feel like your spinning your wheels creating valuable content and rich offers and NOBODY IS TUNING IN????

This is a foundational principle I've implemented in my business since DAY ONE, and it has served me so well -- I can literally pinpoint IT as a key factor to the amazing business growth I've had over the years.

Let's discuss this ONE THING in today's Back to Basics training.

It's so simple, you'll probably roll your eyes. But if your honest, your probably not implementing it enough.

I love finding other people who get storytelling in the same language as me and the things I teach here at Lightbeamers.

Meet Jen Liddy -- a business coach and strategist who helps others get visible with their message!!

This was a power-convo full of top strategies you can use in your visibility plan right now!

This space has always been -- and will always continue to be about helping other women find their voice and use it.

This was one of the more important interviews I've done in a long time with community members Louisa Garrett , creator of the social campaign to #makekindloud and Susan McCuistion, who is a diversity and inclusion expert and Creator of Compassionate Diversity. 

This is more than learning to share your story so you can grow your business, or build your social media platforms.

This is about using your voice to create CHANGE in the world!!!!!!!!!!

This is being a LIGHTbeamer.

We've got a crap ton of work to do, friends..... There has never been a more important time to find your voice, and start using it.

Are you in for the LONG GAME? Do you know what the long game is and whether or not you are playing it?

Meet Sandra Sciano, entrepreneur and newly minted podcast host, as she explains what is the long game and how it can serve you well through troubling times.

Come join this conversation and ask yourself if you are also playing THE LONG GAME?!?!?

So excited about this interview and her brand new podcast, The Long Game Podcast. Make sure to check it out!

Did someone say PIVOT?? For the last 2 months, we've done a lot of pivoting, or at least attempting to Pivot. Some of us have done this well, while others are feeling left behind.

Today's guest has made it her business to Pivot, and she's sitting in the hot seat today to share her story and help others figure out their next move!

Tune into this FB live episode with Podcaster, Coach, and Mentor, Deb Cummins Stellato. 

Be sure to check out her podcast, Think Courageously

When I started LIGHTbeamers, my mission was to always bring positive, encouraging, important stories to the news feed. Using my own abilities as a journalist to do just that, I've always focused these Bright Light's spots on WOMEN....

But not today!

I'm interviewing these two wonderful men -- Cecil Stokes and his adopted son, Boone -- to share their incredible journey of hope and love.

If you need a pick-me-up-of-hope right now, their story just might do the trick.

Tune in!!

So there's this viral challenge making its way through the social media at the moment called the 10 year challenge where you post your profile picture from 10 years ago and compare it to the one of today. Now all over the internet people are posting side by side pictures, some in which there are noticeable drastic changes in appearance while others look relatively the same. And of course, you know the point being we all age differently. We all may look different after a 10 year span while others age a little bit better and look the same.

But the point is this is a golden opportunity to sprinkle some storytelling to your audience by taking this challenge a step further. And instead of just focusing on how well you aged, focus on how much your story has changed. This is an actual exercise and story prompt. I give a lot of my storytelling students to look ba...

Today I have a message for you that is so simple, but it's one that I keep chanting to myself as a mantra, so I want to share it with you and that is simply begin. Now. Once upon a time I set out on a huge goal with a group of friends to train for a 50 mile trail run. We trained over the summer and we often hit the trails of the mountains in North Carolina in the blazing heat. The training runs were always long and hard and brutal, but in the end they were worth it because we climbed for hours in that hot blazing sun all working towards that moment when we would hit the summit and take in the gorgeous views that were at the top of those mountains.


Now I use that memory whenever I'm feeling stuck or feeling fearful about taking on a new challenge because trust me, when I set out to train for a 50 mile trail run, I wasn't even a good runner. This was not som...

I’ve got a practical tip for you — It’s so easy to do, yet too many people are overlooking it.

Take a few minutes today to look at your Social Media Profiles and ask yourself — if someone stumbled on my page not knowing anything about me, would they easily grasp who I am and what I am all about?

In other words — is your brand story clearly represented on your pages and channels.

Like it or not, these days potential clients and those looking to collaborate with you are scoping you out long before they initiate contact.

They are lurking on your channels, reading your public posts, perusing your LinkedIn profile and making pre-judged decisions about you before they’ve even talked to you.

So when they come to those profiles, and they read what you’ve highlighted in your summaries and bios, are they able to capture your story in a quick snapshot?
