Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Member Spotlight: Virtual Personal Branding Production with Lori Vajda - Ep 217
Q: What kinds of questions do you ask to draw out someone's unique qualities and expertise?
I guide pre-interview coaching to surface roots, core strengths, and distinctive language, using a Twig-based framework to structure responses and align with the client's brand voice.
Member Spotlight: Virtual Personal Branding Production with Lori Vajda - Ep 217
Q: Who benefits most from this approach—new entrepreneurs or established professionals?
Both; newcomers gain practice and clarity in articulation, while established professionals benefit from refining messaging and expanding on new offerings, with the system adapting to their evolving needs.
Member Spotlight: Virtual Personal Branding Production with Lori Vajda - Ep 217
Q: Lori, is this service a one-and-done project or is it something clients come back to for updates and new content over time?
It's a retainer-based model with ongoing material; clients receive months' worth of content and can revisit or refresh topics as they grow, reusing content across updates.
LinkedIn Strategies and Branding with Kevin D. Turner - Ep 186
Q: Could you summarize the services you offer and how potential clients can engage with you?
We offer resume and LinkedIn profile optimization, brand and thought leadership development, and coaching for both individual professionals and business pages. We price upfront on LinkedIn and provide a clear menu of services and costs on our company page, so there are no hoops or hidden fees.
Should You Write a Book? with Marjorie Turner Hollman - Ep 175
Q: What final advice would you give to would-be authors about refreshing an existing book or launching a second edition?
A second edition should preserve the main title while updating the subtitle and reviews; consider adding new content or updating formats, while ensuring readers see the current edition as the authoritative one.
