A model’s messaging, notably the messaging that you will see, like, for instance, on their web site,
on their house web page, or touchdown pages that you simply arrive
at
because of some very particular searches,
that messaging, I might say, is sort of a crucial
first impression that the folks you serve will
interact with and can in a short time allow them to know whether or not or not your model is for them or whether or not it
is just not for them.
As a result of the fact is, unconsciously or not, customers are sometimes searching for a solution t
o this very
essential query of, is that this model for me? And the alerts that they’re searching for, whether or not that
is available in your visible imagery or the phrases that you simply say, the messages that you simply put forth all through
varied components of your buyer journey will
in a short time give them a solution to that query.
Is that this model for me? So it is crucial that as you’re working to create the messaging to your
model, actually that prime
–
stage messaging, particularly to your model, it is important that you’re making
certain that you simply have in mind the assorted identities of the people who find themselves your splendid buyer, the
folks that you simply need to serve in order that every time they land on varied features of your model’s
buyer journey, every time they encounter that messaging that
they know that this model is for me.
This place is a spot the place I can see myself as belonging, and it
permits them
to take the following step
ahead with you. Model messaging is tremendous essential, and that is one of many explanation why I introduced
on my visitor at the moment w
ho is a model messaging strategist.
So after this quick break, you are gonna hear my dialog with Diane Weiradoo, who’s the
founding father of LionWords. I simply love that identify. And we’re gonna speak about ensure that
your model messaging is inclusi
ve of the assorted identities that you simply need to serve.
Sonia:
Hey, Diane. Thanks a lot for becoming a member of me at the moment. How are you?
Diane:
Nice. Thanks. Thanks for having me. I am excited to have, this dialog.
Sonia:
Oh, me too. I feel we have been chatting it up, in in one another’s worlds over the previous couple
of years on LinkedIn. So I am thrilled that we’re capable of have this form of digital face
–
to
–
face assembly.
So I do know you’re all about messaging, and earlier than we ge
t too far into this, are you able to simply let the
folks know who’re you and what you do?
Diane:
Yeah. Positive. So I am Diane Wiredu. I run a messaging consultancy. So I work primarily with
development stage, B to B tech firms, B to B tech, and SaaS. And I basically he
lp them create
messaging that resonates with potential consumers, potential clients in order that they will get higher
outcomes from their advertising and gross sales efforts, proper, from advertising belongings like their web site.
Sonia:
Very cool. Very cool. I do not suppose that
we’ve got sufficient folks
whose
model messaging is
so essential, and I feel it may possibly make a world of distinction. And I do not suppose we spend a ton of time
focusing our vitality on that, not to mention from an inclusivity standpoint.

So I noticed on LinkedIn that you simply sai
d messaging is the only most essential factor startups and development
–
stage firms ought to give attention to to develop and succeed. That is a giant assertion. Are you able to speak a little bit
bit about that?
Diane:
Yeah. Positive. I am comfortable to. I do make numerous massive statements. After which lots of people name me
out on them, so rightly so. I imply so once I mentioned that, it is basically boiling this right down to the thought of
communication and phrases and speaking about what you do.
Proper?
So basically, what any firm is making an attempt to do is both promote a product, promote a service, be in contact
with a bunch of individuals,
or
a bunch of consumers, and make a reference to them.
And so it comes right down to phrases and the way you talk that. Rig
ht? I outline messaging as how
you articulate crucial issues about your organization, your product, your service, after which
why that issues to your viewers.
So I feel that it is probably the most essential issues for firms to give attention to when it come
s to
truly connecting with that viewers and ensuring that they are saying the appropriate factor.
I am unable to bear in mind the place I mentioned this. It would be attention-grabbing the place you pulled it up from.
However typically, the type of shoppers and firms that I am working with, it f
eels like messaging and, like,
the phrases are like an afterthought. Proper?
It is like, oh, we will get on the market and get clients and construct the product, after which, like, the final
–
minute thought is like, okay. However how will we speak about this factor?
Whereas, actual
ly, like, this wants to come back up entrance. Like, how do you speak about you in a method that
resonates with the folks that you simply’re making an attempt to assist?
Sonia:
Yeah. I feel that numerous occasions, it is kinda like I do not wanna say a hen or an egg. However a
lot of occasions I
really feel just like the messaging for folks is an afterthought.
And the way folks take into consideration your product is gonna play a giant function in whether or not or not they really feel like
they belong with you, if that is gonna assist them resolve their downside.
So like what you mentioned, you probably did
n’t say this precisely, however I really feel just like the essence of it’s we have to give
correct respect and a focus to the message as a result of it may be the most effective product on this planet that’s
precisely good for the folks that you simply need to serve.
But when they’re near
your message or it goes over their head or it simply does not resonate, it is type
of such as you’ve executed all this work for nothing.
Diane:
Yeah. Precisely. And I feel you’ve got simply echoed what I say on a regular basis, you already know, which you can
have the most effective product, the be
st service on this planet, however if you cannot clarify it and you’ll’t categorical
that and you’ll’t get that throughout, it does not matter.
Like, it will likely be irrelevant. You recognize? And each single enterprise on the planet depends on phrases and
depends on a message to hel
p them develop. And so, actually, this needs to be the precedence.
And in order that you do not wanna have this example the place, which I see lots, of this type of copycat
syndrome the place, you already know, simply type of as a substitute searching at what everybody else is saying,
whateve
r else is doing as a result of then that is why we find yourself with these such boring, saturated
classes of firms simply saying the identical factor.
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf

We wish firms to give attention to what’s it that we do in a different way, what are we making an attempt to what change
are we making an attempt to make, after which
speak
about that in a really clear, related, distinctive, and differentiated
method as properly.
Sonia:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So I’m
curious. You’ve got labored with numerous manufacturers. You’ve got seen
numerous manufacturers messaging through the years. What would you simply want that manufacturers would cease doing
every time it involves their messaging?
Diane:
So how a lot time do you will have? How a lot time? There’s lots
. There’s numerous there are a
lot of errors. There are numerous errors that firms make, however let me preface this by saying
that they are very simple errors to make.
And I perceive why firms do make them. Proper? And I feel that you already know, dep
ending on
your listeners, listeners of this podcast, no matter dimension firm you are at, whether or not you are earlier
stage or perhaps you had been 1 particular person advertising workforce or no matter, proper, it’s totally simple to type of fall
into these traps.
However one massive factor I see is wh
at I name overstuffed syndrome with the messaging, which is the issue
the place numerous firms are simply saying an excessive amount of. Proper? Simply making an attempt to speak about all the things that
you do.
And I see this notably extra so in in in tech and B to B, which is we ha
ve to have to speak about
all the things. Proper? It’s totally laborious for firms to simplify and type of boil issues down.
However once you go right into a retailer, they do not present you their whole vary and say, have a look at all this stuff
that we have. It’s a must to suppose tha
t when a buyer interacts with you, there is a journey. Proper?
And there is a construction.
In the identical method that we’ve got a dialog, there is a regular move of conversations. You bounce in
and say, hello. Hello.
How are you? How are you? And also you undergo this fl
ow. You do not meet somebody and inform them
your whole life story inside the first few seconds.
And what I see lots with firms is making an attempt to suit all the things. Making an attempt to suit all the things in a headline,
a sub
–
headline, in a paragraph speaking about each singl
e characteristic of their product earlier than simply getting
the fundamentals.
And I typically type of liken this to this, analogy of once you go to an all
–
you
–
can
–
eat buffet. Proper? You
know, you go to an all
–
you
–
can
–
eat buffet, and there are such a lot of selections that you simply simply type
of pile
all the things in your plate, and you then stroll over this plate that is like this mishmash of stuff that
does not even appear like a meal.
And we do the identical with our messaging ebook. We do not know what to say, so we type of say
all the things.
However the issue is once you try this, it’s totally laborious for patrons to grasp what you are all about,
after which what they stroll away with is nothing. Proper? As a result of once you’ve talked about 8, 9, or 10
messages inside a brief
interval
or in a brief house, if we’
re speaking about house web page messaging, for
instance, they’re going to stroll away not remembering something.
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf

And so it takes a little bit little bit of a disciplined method to prioritize, what you are all about. One of many
issues that I speak about, which is likely to be a useful exe
rcise to your listeners, is to consider an OKM.
An OKM is what I name the one key message. Proper?
So what is that this one key message that you really want clients or prospects that they may solely
bear in mind one key factor, what would you need it to be? After which
ensuring that each interplay
together with your model, each contact level, a minimum of actually focuses on that after which brings them by means of
additional in order that they will discover out extra. Yeah.
So, yeah, that
one’s
one. That is that is just one factor. Proper? You requested me wh
at are among the
issues that
Sonia:
Yeah. However, no, I feel that is an essential one since you’re proper. Like, I do suppose that we
attempt to, like, vomit all this stuff that we expect are great about, you already know, our model, and we
suppose that extra is best, however that is not at all times the case.
No
w in the case of speaking with folks from underrepresented and underserved
communities, how properly do you suppose manufacturers are doing now with their messaging in the best way they
resonate with folks from these communities
Diane:
Like, Ought to I sit on the fen
ce right here, or ought to I not? I do not suppose manufacturers are doing an amazing
job. I do suppose it varies wildly. Like, the work that I do, once more, like I’ve mentioned, is especially with B two B. I
suppose you are doing a a lot worse job at that.
Okay. I do suppose that in shopper pr
oducts, there’s a little bit little bit of motion. Proper? I am seeing a little bit
little bit of change. However I do not suppose, as an entire, I feel this isn’t actually a prime of thoughts and current for
sufficient entrepreneurs.
I feel that is additionally associated to one thing else that is, a mistake t
hat I see, which I name type of me me
me syndrome. So firms are actually centered an excessive amount of on the model, themselves, and their
product that they virtually neglect concerning the buyer.
And so many firms are doing the identical, however forgetting concerning the buyer
. By no means thoughts
forgetting concerning the vary of consumers and the vary and the kind of people who work together with their
model and ensuring that what they’re speaking about is accessible, is inclusive.
I feel that lots
of
sound
than
actually understanding how
nuanced your buyer is and ensuring
that the ways in which you talk with them
do
think about that they might be from all kinds of
backgrounds, ethnic
makeups
, places, or one.
So it is laborious. It is a problem, and I perceive that it is a chal
lenge. However I am seeing some change, however
I do not I do not suppose it is I do not suppose it is sufficient but.
Sonia:
Yeah. I undoubtedly suppose there may be progress to be made. And I am questioning if manufacturers as a result of I
suppose this occurs this downside occurs at manufacturers of all si
zes.
And I feel that typically manufacturers are interested by that one key message that you simply talked about, however
they neglect that there are such a lot of completely different contact factors in methods wherein to have interaction a shopper. I
bear in mind I noticed a girl that I observe on LinkedIn.
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf
5
She’s a incapacity advocate, and she or he talks concerning the Apple Watch. She’s like, if I had recognized that the
Apple Watch was accessible and had all these accessible options earlier than, I might have purchased 1 a
complete lot sooner. I might be on my third Apple Watch by now
as a substitute of my second.
For
me, that comes right down to
it being
a messaging downside as a result of not that they wanted to steer,
so to talk, with their accessibility options. Perhaps they may, however for that individual viewers, that
was one thing that they wanted to
lead with, however they weren’t getting it not directly.
Perhaps it was buried of their product specs and options.
So I am questioning in the case of messaging, is there may be this one key message, however how do you
have any ideas on how manufacturers ought to thi
nk about delivering the appropriate message to the appropriate
buyer in a method that makes certain that they hear the factor most, that they should hear from you?
Diane:
Yeah. I feel that is actually essential, and I feel what you’ve got touched on is a key distinction.
So o
ften, I speak about what we might name perhaps prime
–
stage, prime
–
line messaging for an organization, which
is the place that you must have this overarching, consisting message about who you’re, what you do,
who for, and why. It needs to be actually clear.
And we will suppose abo
ut this as a type of prime layer. However then beneath that, in fact, firms
goal completely different teams of individuals, completely different demographics.
We additionally do not wanna simply take into consideration folks as demographics, however we additionally wanna take into consideration
folks from the lens of ps
ychographics, from habits, from pursuits, which i
s truly what unites
us extra.
Proper?
I’ve much more in frequent with, individuals who share the identical the identical passions than simply somebody
else who’s a marketer. Proper?
Sonia
:
Like Yeah. Yeah.
Diane:
When you’re a 34
–
12 months
–
outdated marketer residing in a metropolis, like, we might be fully completely different folks,
and also you converse to me otherwise than for those who truly perceive folks’s behaviors.
So I feel understanding truly method form of buyer
–
led advertising and buyer
–
led
messaging, once more, comes again to essentially understanding, your clients very well. After which
understanding upon getting truly executed that, how will you take th
is form of how will you simply
take this a step additional, actually.
After which we have got excessive
–
stage type of firm messaging, after which it is virtually right down to the
marketing campaign stage. Like, who do we have to? To in numerous methods? And that is the place it is form of
messaging
is what and replica is, like,
how.
There’ll
be other ways to translate the messaging that you’ve got to your firm, and you will
want to focus on these once more for various personas.
So it is form of a layered. Proper? There is a layered method to marketin
g and messaging and having
that overarching message, however then understanding that
we have to discuss issues in numerous
methods inside completely different contexts
.
Sonia:
Yeah. No. I really like that. I really like that there are such a lot of there’s inside inclusive advertising, ther
e
are layers to it. Proper? To all the things. I might in all probability most issues I might say.
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf

So does this prime
–
stage messaging want to talk to as broad an viewers as doable, or is there a
strategy to we’re
speaking
to this small group of individuals in a method that we all know
they’re gonna get it, however it
additionally has which means and it is related for a broad group?
Is there a distinction, or does it
rely on
your viewers?
Diane:
Yeah. So I feel the reply to that, it is not that we’re making an attempt to talk broadly or narrowly.
Oh, okay. E
very firm, I feel, simply actually must have their buyer dialed in. Proper?
And so for those who’re making an attempt to talk to everyone, you find yourself talking to no person. Proper? No. There are
very, only a few manufacturers on the market whose buyer is everyone.
Except you a
re perhaps you are Coca
–
Cola, however even then, like, spe
ak to the advertising division.
They’ve their buyer sort. They’re actually dialed in.
So there isn’t any excuse for you as a small or medium or development stage enterprise to not have, your splendid
buyer actually
dialed in and get to know them, get to grasp what are the wants that you simply’re
fixing, what are the ache factors, what are the wishes, at which level what are the triggers that your,
splendid clients have occurring of their day that make them suppose, you okay
now what? I want this product.
I want this service.
Or
I am beginning
to begin wanting. I feel upon getting when you
understood
that profile, then, yeah,
all of our
prime
–
stage
,
prime
–
line
firm messaging remains to be talking to that particular viewers sort. So
,
yeah, to come back to your query, it is not about, like, messaging, so it needs to be tremendous normal.
It needs to be focused nonetheless, however to that particular group of individuals, that you simply’re serving to together with your product
or together with your service.
Sonia:
Yeah. Which I really like as a result of it is
all about buyer intimacy, I feel that that is gonna make
lots of people breathe a sigh of aid as a result of I feel typically they could, like, wait a minute.
Do I’ve to have a special message for all these completely different
folks to get it to work? However I am actually
curious on how properly you are feeling like manufacturers do with having that buyer intimacy or having their
buyer having, you already know, their splendid buyer dialed
into
the purpose to the place they’re capable of ship
messaging that h
its, proper, that makes folks really feel, like, seen and know that that is precisely for me?
Diane:
Yeah. I imply, it varies it varies wildly. However for those who I imply, are you able to suppose again to a time when
you had been you’ve got had an act interplay with a model, whether or not it is you
obtained an electronic mail otherwise you had been,
I do not know, scrolling on Fb or Instagram, and also you stopped and browse one thing? And also you
had been studying alo
ng, and you are like, wow.
I get it. That is me. Or
did
they get me or one thing
?
Sonia:
Yeah. Yeah. Completely.
Dia
ne:
Then that is that is once you
have an amazing instance of
Advertising and messaging that
has that speaks to you just because it is talking to it is talking your language. Proper? Yeah.
However
perceive
you.
So I feel there are examples of firms doing that. My focus, clearly, from the messaging
and communication facet of that is how we try this with phrases. Proper? How will we try this by means of our
language?
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf
7
One
of the actually essential components of my course of is
going out, with firms and talking to their
current clients, doing buyer interviews,
and
buyer surveys, to grasp how they
suppose,
how they really feel, and the way they
converse concerning the model, to ensure that the communications, that the
copy and e
verything that we create does converse to your clients and speaks to them, in language
and phrases and utilizing phrases and the themes and subjects that do resonate.
I feel it will likely be fairly a easy train that extra folks can do. And that is additionally a method for you
to
be in contact and just be sure you are continuously talking to a variety of your buyer
base and that you simply’re bringing their ideas, their wants,
and
their emotions into your advertising.
So it is type of, like, round flywheel to ensure that
you are what is the w
ord I am searching for right here?
They simply obtained you are simply type of on level. Proper? I assume,
that
is what I am tryi
ng to say.
Sonia:
I get that. So alright. So the opposite query alongside those self same traces
Diane:
Positive.
Sonia:
I’ve a pal who sen
t me an electronic mail the opposite day, and it was, like, some report that he had
obtained from his firm. He works for a fairly large firm, and it was saying, oh, these are the highest
5 TV reveals of all time within the US. Proper?
And so his the be aware that he wrote to me, he is
like, prime 5 in response to who? Like, who did they ask?
And I appeared on the reveals and I used to be like, yeah. I feel they requested a really particular group of individuals.
Diane:
And demographic.
Sonia:
Proper. So that you simply mentioned {that a} massive a part of your course of is doing these interviews with
clients and understanding extra about what it’s, the phrases that they are utilizing, the issues which are
essential to them.
And so I am curious to you is so the linchpin he
re is ensuring that everytime you’re doing these
interviews, that you have a broad
cross
–
part
of the several types of customers, the completely different
identities represented in order that everytime you’re creating this prime line messaging, it speaks to the
variet
y of consumers that you’ve got, however in a method
,
that is very particular to the issue that your model
solves.
Diane:
Yeah. You nailed it. Proper? Okay. And I do not suppose I can put it higher than you. However there’s
there is a actually good instance right here.
So I do not kno
w in case your listenership is extra US
–
primarily based or Europe
–
primarily based. I am, British, although I’ve a
type of UK
–
primarily based instance right here.
So I do know a few guys who run, an amazing firm within the UK that they do they do basically
what that research wanted to do. Proper?
Becau
se
of
that
,
they lead analysis and research with minorities and underrepresented teams within the
UK, primarily underrepresented teams and in addition youthful folks.
They
have firms entry this group of individuals and get their opinions, get information from them so
that th
en they do not find yourself placing out info that’s fully skewed.
So I am going to give them a
shout
–
out
as a result of they’re an superior firm
known as Phrase on the Curb.
So
they’re a little bit bit extra
UK
–
centered
, however they work That is a cool identify.
IM_Ep 111_How to ship inclusive model messaging with Diane Wiredu.pdf
8
They work with some massive manufacturers, and so they’ve been doing it for, like, 10 years. And I feel it is an amazing
instance of, like, do that work your self for those who can.
So, y
ou know, once I’m working with B
to
B
and tech firms, it is simpler for us to exit and
spe
ak to a
cross
–
part
of their demographic.
Now in case you are a shopper model that, you already know, has a a lot wider, demographic, then perhaps it is
tougher so that you can truly carry out that sort of analysis and get, the varieties of opinions and suggestions
that you simply want f
rom teams.
Perhaps you possibly can’t entry the teams that you simply need to. So perhaps it’s that you simply’re listening to this and
you need to be extra inclusive, however you are simply unsure how. Nicely, then exit and get that assist.
Proper? Like, I nonetheless need you to suppose, okay
. Nicely, I am not getting a
cross
–
part
of opinions and
suggestions from a bunch of people who I want to goal.
So then you need to discover a strategy to entry them. So, you already know, we’re speaking about, strategies of doing
this, however I feel we also needs to be tal
king concerning the need and the desire and virtually the duty for
firms to be specializing in this and investing time, funds,
and
assets to creating certain that they
are talking to a a lot wider subset of their
1
clients as properly.
Sonia:
Yeah. You talked ab
out willingness, and what popped up for me is, like, this complete idea
of duty. You recognize, if this is likely to be a change in the best way persons are accustomed to doing
issues and accustomed to approaching their advertising. However, early on in my profession once I
labored in
company, I went by means of this complete 6 Sigma certification course of. And one of many ideas that,
like, is burned into my head is this idea of doing it proper the primary time.
And
have you learnt,
in fact, we at all times wanna do issues proper, however th
ere’s at all times gonna be additional
assets, and further complications every time you need to return and do one thing once more that you simply
did not plan for and do proper the primary time.
And what I might actually like to get entrepreneurs to a spot to by means of the present, for the work
that we’re
doing, by means of conversations like this, in fact, is letting them know that if they are not doing this
at present, the accountable factor for his or her enterprise, proper, and to get the enterprise outcomes that they are
doing, you are already investing all
these assets to do that work, to get the messaging that you simply
want. It is so price it and wanted for your corporation to spend money on doing it proper and doing it proper the
first time, which suggests ensuring that you simply’re together with the appropriate voices that make up th
e folks
who you are truly serving so that you simply’re gonna get the outcomes that you simply want in a fashion that
speaks to your buyer base.
Dian
e:
Proper. Precisely. And if you cannot and also you’re struggling, then rent. Rent th
e proper folks. You
know?
Like, you run
this podcast on inclusion and advertising, and you’ve got, I’ve little doubt, an in
creating a reputable community of people who, you already know, you folks might attain out to. You recognize, I
suppose as properly, it is internally.
Generally , okay, properly, not
solely who’re we talking to on the shopper facet, however who’s
creating. Proper? So we’re interested by the messaging, copy, content material, engaged on content material creation,
and making an attempt to talk for such a broad group of individuals. So who’s doing that? Whose voices will we
ne
ed to herald?
Do we have to herald as properly? After which ensuring that you simply truly try this.

Sonia:
Yeah. Yeah. Diane, this has been a lot enjoyable. That is nice. I wanna swap gears a little bit
bit. I wanna get your perspective as a
shopper
can
you inform
me a couple of time
when
a model made
you are feeling such as you belonged?
Diane:
I am gonna want a second to consider this. I am not the most effective shopper. You recognize?
Sonia:
It is okay. I feel that folks wrestle with this query as a result of it does not occur typically
sufficient.
Diane:
Yeah. Which is loopy, is not it? As a shopper, I do not purchase numerous stuff. I primarily spend my
cash on foods and drinks. Like, that is the place all of my cash goes
,
after which CrossFit and dealing
out.
However there may be one firm. So I do bear in mind this was a
whereas in the past now, so I am making an attempt to dig into the
archives, that I got here throughout this model, and I used to be like, oh my god. I’ve been ready for one thing
like this.
And it simply hit the nail on the top. So melanated,
darkish
–
skinned
girls will know the problem that
you will have once you need once you when it is sunny, you wanna put sunscreen on. Proper? Sunscreen
has this, like, white solid.
And when you will have darkish pores and skin, you find yourself with these, like, white layers all ove
r your pores and skin, which is
horrible.
After which there was a model I imply, I can identify them. I feel they’re known as Supergoop or
one thing like that.
They usually put out a line of sunscreen that was type of actually, like, clear. And numerous their
advertising and
their messaging was talking to people who perceive understood that, like, this
was a problem. Proper? Folks like, for those who’re lighter skinned, you possibly can simply exit and purchase sunscreen
and, like, you should buy
any. It is not likely a problem.
Whereas
darker
–
pores and skin
ned
ladies actually have to contemplate
it. Like, I at all times have to purchase clear stuff.
And it is garbage or it is decrease SPF. So yeah. So I feel as a model, I feel it is I feel it is known as
Supergoop.
They did I do not know what their advertising’s like now, however
a few years in the past once I first
found them, it felt like a really inclusive method, and it actually spoke to one thing. It spoke to
a ache level. It spoke to, like, they understood their clients, the issues that that they had, and so they
had a p
roduct t
hat was talking to it.
They’re they seem to be a actually good instance of that.
Sonia:
Very cool. Yeah. I feel that typically it does not even should be the messaging. It might
be, like, the precise product design Product design. It is such as you did this for me. And
there’s solely method
you might have executed that is for those who had me in thoughts every time
you had been
making it.
So I feel that is unbelievable. Nice instance.
The place can folks discover you in the event that they wanna study extra about you and your work?
Diane:
Yeah. So I spend numerous time o
n LinkedIn posting and sharing my ideas, frameworks,
