How to Turn Your Message into a Media Brand
I just wrapped a conversation (video below) with Lea Woodford, founder and CEO of Speaker Life Media, about how speakers can turn one powerful message into a recognizable media brand that creates lasting visibility and opportunities.
Lea shares how she transformed her background in broadcast journalism and professional speaking into a multi-platform media company, helping speakers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and authors expand their reach. We also dive into why building a successful speaking career isn't just about landing the stage, it's about creating a consistent brand that keeps working for you long after the talk is over.
