2024 - full steam ahead!

content marketing thought leadership Feb 06, 2024

Last week was one of the most eventful of my life, with three really big things that happened in the space of a couple of days.


It was the week of the 3 B’s:

📕 BOOK launch (my first book, Marketing Me, finally published!)

🎂 BIRTHDAY (milestone 50th! With some festivities to kick start a year-long celebration)

🚌 Back to school for my five kids (always intense!)

 




Yet of the things that surprised me most was how spacious, calm, relaxing and fun it was.


Now this week, I’m transitioning to another B!

This time it’s “Business as Usual”! 🎉


So in this brave new world, what does that even look like?


Everything that lights me up - and nothing that doesn’t!

🎙️ Speaking - Keynotes, Workshops and Training Sessions for Associations, Exhibitions and Conferences. Much of this will be aligned with what’s in my book Marketing Me, of course!

💛 Marketing Me Express, Experience & Accelerator - my personal branding transformation programs (now 5 years running!) where I work closely with you on YOUR personal brand, your message, content, strategy, and perhaps most importantly your confidence.

💎 Corporate Programs - for executives and teams in sales, marketing, and customer relationship management keen to build trust with customers in a hybrid world - in which people are increasingly sceptical and tuning out to traditional marketing but are open to connecting with people who are authentic and visible.


There will also be a global book launch tour (stay tuned)... (Oh and by the way, if you're in Auckland and want to join my book launch kick off event on March 15th let me know and I'll add you to the guest list!)

There will also be a few surprises too. (Think “year of 50” birthday celebrations all year long!! Yes, literally every.single.month!)

But even without that, I’m so contented and delighted with the clients and people in my world - they are seriously the best - and my absolute joy!


This is what makes resuming “Business as Usual” so fuuuuun! 💃🏻

And if we haven’t engaged personally yet, perhaps this will be the year - whether through my book, an event or a personal connection.


Doing what you love is so important - and I’m thrilled that I get to do just that! I hope you do too!

It’s going to be a great year!

💛

Nina
