Congratulations to @Debbie Debonaire and @AnYes van Rhijn for saying 'yes' to the insane opportunity of being featured on the Brand Runway platform on a regular basis by becoming early members of the Couture Circle! Congrats too to @Carol Jack for being the first 'Runway Insider' and committing to her uplevelled brand presence this year! For those who missed it, the replay of the current membership options is in the thread. You are still welcome to 'try us out' for a month until the membership levels kick in, and for those who need more time to decide.. I've added another easy peasy $7 level (from 1st March) which gives access to the lovely FRC free resources (except the beautiful workbooks, templates and stock photos) ., but which allows you to get to know me/us and all the ways you can benefit from the platform for your visibility and brand impact. I will share the news about the sister magazine - Spotlight - next week and encourage you to tune in. As a full member of FRC you have my 8 years of experience in high level Personal Brand creation and strategy - right here in this fabulous place. More news next week!

After a fabulous first meeting and enjoying the calibre of the amazing ladies on the call yesterday, I was compelled to remind us of some powerful popular ideas regarding who we surround ourself with. 1.“You're the average of the five people spend the most time with,” a quote attributed most often to motivational speaker Jim Rohn. There's also the “show me your friends and I'll show you your future” derivative. Whichever you've heard, the intent is the same. Audit the people around you. You're in good company ladies! 2 (Courtesty of Wiki) Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other. As a result, a chain of "friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It is also known as the six handshakes rule.[1] Mathematically it means that a person shaking hands with 30 people, and then those 30 shaking hands with 30 other people, would after repeating this six times allow every person in a population as large as the United States to have shaken hands (seven times for the whole world). We need influential people in our corner to elevate our projects.... Brand Runway probably brings that number down! 3 - "The "7 Degrees of Interest" refers to the spectrum of topics through which people can connect by sharing 7 top personal interests. This icebreaker networking technique skips the small talk, like discussing the weather or current events, and moves towards more specialized areas such as shared hobbies, professional interests, and personal aspirations. The deepest level of connection is achieved when individuals share their core values and life philosophies, creating a profound and lasting bond." Fascinating.. let's make a list! I'll start.. Brand Impact, Empowering Women...
