Visibility – it’s the key to success!
I’m not sure how many of you read my blog, but it’s always about people I know, resources I can share and it’s generally something that can be shared with others. 
This blog is about visibility! On March 8th, for International Women’s Day, I hosted a Leads, Needs and Good Deeds event at Liaison College, Oakville Campus. Everyone who attended agreed to a code of ethics that was specifically for that day. They had to come prepared to share leads, to be comfortable telling the group about their needs, and to donate a product or service that we could raffle off as a fundraiser to fulfill the mandate of International Women’s Day which was to connect and inspire young women and girls.
The event was sold out and a huge success! The cheque went to CYAN – a not for profit that is specifically for young people who want to use their 40 hours of community service in a measurable way. You can watch the videos of all the men and women who attended this event that agreed to be interviewed.

Since video is an important way to raise awareness for you and your products check out the clips from the Top Guns at Western Finance – these clips were shot during a retreat held at Ghost River Crossing in Cochrane, Alberta. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0E11B79D34D05412″>http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0E11B79D34D05412
Visibility can come from what you hear, as well as what you can see. So don’t neglect the opportunity to be interviewed on radio. Check out some of my guests on Talk to Donna. Last week’s guest was Dr. Janice Cockburn, an audiologist who will be at the Women at Their Best Event on April 30th, 2012 in Alliston, Ontario. http://bit.ly/GQDXRY
I encourage everyone to consider how best to utilize your time, talent and credibility. Don’t neglect the print media either – are you an expert? Then perhaps you can write articles that will be published in local magazines or newspapers. Check out http://entrenomics.wordpress.com
Watch for some exciting new opportunities for visibility through ConnectUs and Donna Messer. We are building an incredible team of experts that will soon be sharing through audio, video and print! If you want to be one of those experts, let me know.
In the meantime, enjoy the wonderful spring weather we have!
