What It Takes to Build Strong Personal Brand with Lilian Ledoux S01 EPS535
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Lilian Ledoux. I’m in the storytelling and relationship building business. As a PR coach and publicist, I help creative entrepreneurs and brands just like you to gain the confidence to learn how to make public relations work for you to share your story on a worldwide scale and become the global industry leader you were meant to be. Why? Because I believe that every entrepreneur has a compelling brand story that deserves to be heard and celebrated by audiences all over the world. People don’t buy from you and support your brand just because your products or your books are compelling. They trust you because they resonate with your story. As a woman of color who has pushed back against a lack of support, physical limitations and cultural traditions, along with managing a chronic illness (and at times, financial difficulties) while running my business, deciding to share my story was nerve wracking. Just like you, I feared being judged, dismissed or disrespected because I’d already experienced that. But I made the decision to not allow my fears over the outcome control my actions, and as a result, the freedom I found in sharing my story, and building strong relationships with audiences and clients who trusted me because my story resonated has been life-changing. And its this life changing growth that I help you find, by supporting you to share your story the right way. In this episode we discuss PR, storytelling, mindset and being in and of service to others.

1. What 3 of the top benefits are to working with a PR Firm.
2. What 3 of the most common mindset issues/hurdles are for entrepreneurs.
3. What it takes to build a strong personal brand.
"I've built my business because I love the idea of storytelling. I love the idea of helping folks get their stories out there in different ways. PR is just another way to do that." - 00:02:05
"It really comes down to two things. Number one It's their story. And when I get the pushback on, , there's a lot that I don't want to share, or I don't feel comfortable. I say to them that there is a line between what is personal and what is private."- 00:35:34
"My why is to always pay it forward. To educate, to empower, and to demystify. This world of public relations to help people reach their fullest potential." - 00:57:27
