⭐️ Today is #NationalFitnessDay and it was on ⭐️ Today is #NationalFitnessDay and it was on this day four years ago that I booked my first visit at Snap Fitness in Hinckley. The reason was because I was doing a social media campaign @motivatemeleics about midlife fitness for women as part of my @digitalmums training course. I only joined the gym because of this 😱and I decided to book a PT. She was called Kerry. The first video (which makes me smile) is me being trained by Kerry back in Sept 2017. Here’s the post I wrote about it. ‘So I've done it! 😲Before I began working on Motivate Me, I would never have thought my fitness journey would bring me to take on training in a gym (!) under the watchful eye of a personal trainer (!!) The gym: @snapfitnesshinckley - great gym, very friendly and knowdegable staff👍🏽 The PT: the truly fab Kerry @kezkinz 🏋️‍♀️ Check out her fab IG account for some seriously strong 🏋️‍♀️ inspiration. I've never done weight training before so I'll let you know how I progress. I've got the bug to go to the gym again tomorrow and have booked my 2nd PT session for Friday. Commitment is the key 🔑 Kerry tells me, so here I go...’ Four years later I’m still at Snap and still being trained by wonderful Kerry who has become a really close friend. Hopefully my progress over these years shows in the 2nd video. 💪🏾 I love training. I love being stronger, fitter and hopefully healthier at age 56 than I ever thought I’d be. The gym is my happy place. I love Kerry and I love being part of the fab Snap family. I can’t say anymore apart from I hope this post inspires you to try something new in life whatever age you are, whatever level of fitness, shape or size you are. Being active and moving your body is so important - and it really can make you more focused and happy. 😃 Happy National Fitness Day! . . . . #FitnessForLife #FitnessForAll #SnapFitness #SnapFitness247 #GymLifeOrNoLife #PersonalTrainerUK #FemalePT #FitnessInspiration #HinckleyLeicestershire #Leicestershire #NationalFitnessDay2021
🤔 How are you feeling about going to in-person 🤔 How are you feeling about going to in-person events? Let me share my experience of @marketed.live yesterday 🙌🏾 as an incentive to get out there and mix with fellow business owners, especially when you are in the same industry. Firstly, it’s just lovely to meet in real life all those super people I speak usually speak to online. I’ve said this before but they really are the same in person. Drinking coffee ☕️ sharing lunch, networking over a chocolate brownie - it’s all such fun. Oh I forgot to mention how nice it is being away from the laptop. 💻 Then there’s the opportunity to hear inspiring presentations from skilled and entertaining speakers. @nathan_agency_dm @kendamacdonald @debbiedooodah were some of those gracing the stage yesterday 👏🏾 Being in the room together, rather than virtually, to share the MarketEd Live experience and discuss ideas helps in keeping your approach fresh and relevant. This seems especially significant for the times we’re living in now. 💡So my advice is definitely get yourself to an in person event or meeting if you can. You can’t beat seeing your connections in real life! ⭐️ A shout out to Pete @andrewandpete, Nicole @wunderstars_ @rachelextance @janinecoombes @debbiedooodah (thank you for taking the photo) and brilliant @bizpaul and his awesome team too! ⭐️ . . . #MarketEdLive #MarketEdLive2021 #MarketingConference #MarketingEvent #MarketingEvents #NetworkIngEvent #UKEvent #NottinghamBusiness #NewIdeas #MarketingFriends #KeynoteSpeaker #OnlineFriends #Connecting #MarketingIdeas #EventMarketing #ElllaExplainer
This little girl is me. 👧🏾I was born in Lon This little girl is me. 👧🏾I was born in London, after my parents left Mauritius in the 1960s. I was inquisitive, fun-loving and sociable but relatively quiet without any great talent for sport, arts or academia. One thing I did realise was that education was all-important to my mum and dad. Being the child of immigrants meant that we had a lot to prove. 🧠 As a child, I was a deep thinker (I still am!) and there was a lot I wanted to say but children were seen and not heard much back then, so I pretty much conformed to my parents' wishes. 📚I stuck to the 'do well at school' game plan and eventually managed to make it to college to do a degree, after scraping through my A levels. I'd never call myself academic. However I am determined, curious, positive thinking, prepared to try new things and even take risks. I'm sure that is what has enabled me to get to where I am now - leaving teaching after 30 years because I wanted a new adventure. 🙌🏾 What a journey it's been because it has resulted in me setting up my own business in social media marketing, something I knew nothing about 4 years ago. Having a lot to say and thinking deeply hasn't been a bad thing after all. In fact I’ve encouraged my own teenage daughter to do the same. 🤔 Why am I telling you this? Because 70% of girls feel more confident about their futures after hearing from women role models. I encourage all the fabulous women in my network to participate in this campaign by @inspiringgirlsint led by @miriamgonzalezdurantez ✨ Also my thanks to @laviniathanapathy for inspiring me to post after speaking about this on Clubhouse this morning. . . . . #thislittlegirlisme #rolemodel #femalerolemodel #inspiregirls #inspirewomen #raisinggirls #raisingstronggirls #raisingfutureleaders

Inspired by fabulous @videosundifficulted series o Inspired by fabulous @videosundifficulted series on TikTok (yes I’m on there now), I’ve created a poll. I made this in @canva - thank you Danielle. 🙌🏾 So very simply can you vote on the following: ➡️ Would you like to use LinkedIn to gain more business? Vote A for yes Vote B for no (or nope as Beyoncé says) 😊 I’m keen to help you if you are someone who knows your ideal client is on LinkedIn, but you aren’t confident about using the platform or you find it a bit of a mystery. That’s a response I often hear about LinkedIn, but I can certainly help you to overcome the fear and overwhelm so you can build an audience on there who’ll want to buy from you.

🦸🏾‍♀️It’s not just superheroes who h 🦸🏾‍♀️It’s not just superheroes who have superpowers. You do too. When I talk about your personal brand being a way to show your superpowers, here’s what I mean. Think of words and phrases which show your uniqueness and individuality. ✅ your wins, professionally and in your interests ✅ your greatest successes, not just in your business now, but what you’ve done previously. ✅ businesses you have previously owned or previous jobs you’ve had ✅ go back to your successes from when you were at school and college ✅ think about the good things that people have said about you in the past ✅ your current expertise, knowledge, skills, talents and interests Then ask your peers, previous colleagues, associates, trusted clients to come up with one or two statements. ➕Add these to your own list. You should have a huge ‘brain dump’ of words and statements which show the best of you and what people value about you. Then start crossing out all the samey and bland statements. This culling process will require time, thought, revisiting and reviewing. 🗂You should be able to sort out what remains into three themes. Check out my website blog on personal branding to see an example. ⚡️Your themes will become your pillar personal brand superpowers. They should keep you on track whenever you talk about your business or post and engage on social media. Take my advice and don’t rush this process. If you take your time and give thought to this, it will provide the perfect foundation for shaping your personal brand.

🤔 Are you a bit unsure about what to post on Li 🤔 Are you a bit unsure about what to post on LinkedIn? It’s changed a lot over the last 18 months. 👩🏽🧔🏻There's much more human-centric and relatable content on there which is getting amazing reach on the feed. Like it or loathe ( I can hear the 'This isn't Facebook' voices being raised) but LinkedIn wants you to have conversations on the platform. 📈 Technical content, stats and industry news may well have their place, but if you're working in a regulated industry, you still need to help people to get to know you. They want to know if it's worth connecting with you and eventually doing business with you. This is the way to attract your ideal client and build qualified leads. Showing your personality in your content matters. I’ve written an article where I explain the whys and hows of being you on LinkedIn. 💡Check out my bio link. I recognise that it's something a lot of people find very difficult. I was delighted to gain some sound bites from some wonderful people whom I've got to know because of their personalities. They all work in regulated professions but have created their own space on LinkedIn. Go and check out their content. 🔗 👏🏾My thanks to them for their quotes in my post. ⭐ Are you ready to show your personality in your posts? . . . . #financialadvisor #financialadvisoruk #lawyerlife #lawyerlifestyle #accountantsofinstagram #instafinance #LinkedInTips #LinkedInForBusiness #LinkedInLife #EllaExplainer #LinkedInMarketing #LinkedInBranding #ShowYourPersonality #ContentMarketingTips #Business2Business #BusinessSupport #LinkedInExpert #LinkedInStrategy #LinkedInTraining #LinkedInProfile #Leicestershire #LeicestershireBusiness #HinckleyLeicestershire #FinancialAdvice #FinancialAdvisors #VirtualAssistantService #AuthenticSelf #BeYourselfAlways #StoryTellingMarketing

📣📣📣 So after the big build up yesterday, 📣📣📣 So after the big build up yesterday, here it is! I’m VERY excited to be running my first LinkedIn workshop. I’ve had a fair few people say to me that they just don’t get LinkedIn. I hear you! Is this how you feel? It’s confusing🤯stuffy🤯too serious🤯boring🤯too much hard work Those are just some of the feelings and I know there are others. 💡I would like to help you overcome that discomfort and even lack of confidence you may feel when you’re on LinkedIn. I thought why not run a workshop to help you start the journey to sorting your LinkedIn. I’ve squeezed this in before the school holidays start. This will hopefully give you the opportunity to get your profile in shape for the rest of 2021. 🙌🏾 This is a workshop for you if you have an unloved LinkedIn profile and it’s a platform that you know will benefit your business. In other words, you’re clear about who your target audience is so you can find them to build your LinkedIn community. Check out the workshop details on my Eventbrite page. Hopefully the content will appeal to you. 😊 If you have any questions or comments, please do ask away. (It’s the first time I’ve created an event on Eventbrite so I hope it all works smoothly.) 🎟 Book your place - I’d love to see you! . . . . #LinkedInTips #LinkedInTraining #LinkedInForBusiness #LinkedInLife #LinkedInWorkshop #ConfidenceBuilding #OnlineCommunity #EllaExplainer #LinkedInMarketing #LinkedInBranding #BusinessOwner #Business2Business #BusinessSupport #LinkedInExpert #LinkedInStrategy #LinkedInProfile #Leicestershire #LeicestershireBusiness #HinckleyLeicestershire #SocialMediaWorkshop #SocialMediaTrainer #FinancialAdvisor #FinancialAdvice #FinancialAdvisors #VirtualAssistantService

🖥 Have you ever watched a live interview on Lin 🖥 Have you ever watched a live interview on LinkedIn? I’m delighted to have the opportunity to be on my first live tomorrow at 6pm BST with Gillian Whitney, a US-based video marketing coach. 🇺🇸 Gillian and I have been connected on LinkedIn for the past year and frequently cross paths on the platform. That’s the power of being part of an engaged community! Did you know that of the 756 million account holders on LinkedIn, only 1% are content creators? This means that Gillian and I are pretty special as we both regularly post on LinkedIn and engage on other people’s content. 💥Post and engage consistently are two ways to be visible on the platform. LinkedIn is actively encouraging content creation especially with its new Creator Mode feature. However if you want to do Lives, you have to apply for it. I haven’t got it yet. If you’d like to join me and Gillian tomorrow at 6pm BST on LinkedIn, go to Gillian’s LinkedIn account and click on the live link. We’ll be discussing personal branding and being visible on social media especially if you’re older. Being seen on social media is NOT exclusively for Millenials and Gen Z-ers! 😊 Will you join us for our chat? . . . . #EllaExplainer #LiveVideo #LinkedInLive #LinkedInTips #LinkedInForBusiness #LinkedInLife #LinkedInMarketing #LinkedInBranding #BusinessWomenLife #MidlifeWomen #MidlifeWomenRock #BusinessOwner #Business2Business #BusinessSupport #LinkedInExpert #LinkedInStrategy #LinkedInTraining #Leicestershire #LeicestershireBusiness #HinckleyLeicestershire #FinancialAdvisor #FinancialAdvice #FinancialAdvisors #VirtualAssistantService #MyPersonalBrand #PersonalBrands #BrandingPersonal #ConfidenceIsKey #BeInspiredToInspire #BeUniquelyYou
🤩 Another seamless carousel - I’m loving maki 🤩 Another seamless carousel - I’m loving making these. My marketing friend Janine called my Ella Explainer offer ‘a power hour with knobs on!’ 😂 It’s much more than a power hour. You decide what you’re struggling with most. I suggest 2-3 challenges which can be resolved after a session of us working together. The idea of this is that you feel you achieve something and can build on it. I’ll take a look at what you’re doing with your social media marketing before our Zoom call. Then on the call itself I’ll give you my thoughts, tips and ideas. Also I’ll give you your ‘homework’ to do. This will help to keep you focused and give you that much needed accountability. You’ll feel so good once you’ve achieved what you want to achieve! I’ll help you and give you support with a follow up email and phone call. If this sounds like the kind of ‘power hour’ that will help you, drop me a message or contact me on the Ella Explainer offer (link in my bio) 🙌🏾 . . . . #EllaExplainer #CarouselPost #PowerHour #SocialMediaSupport #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy ##SocialMediaHelp #SeamlessCarousel #SocialMediaTips #Accountability #GetStuffDone #BeBusinessConfident #BusinessSuccess #FinancialAdvisor #FinancialAdvisors #SmallBusinessSupport #SmallBusinessUK #Leicestershire #HinckleyLeicestershire #SocialMediaDoneRight #Lawyer #WomenInBusinessUK #SocialMediaMarketingTipsAndTricks

🤔 Are you still using Clubhouse? (Apologies if 🤔 Are you still using Clubhouse? (Apologies if you haven’t got a clue about what I’m talking about!🤷🏽‍♀️) I’m still a fan of social audio - Clubhouse and Twitter - and I wanted to explain what the benefits have been for me. I joined Clubhouse in January in the midst of lockdown here in the UK. In those cold winter months, joining in the conversations was a welcome distraction from all the misery. 😩 It was also great to hear the voices of people I’d been following on social media for a while, as well as making lots of new connections from across the globe. 🌍 Admittedly the novelty started to wear off for many after a few months, and there was a lot of complaints about CH not being available to Android users till May. However I’ve stuck with it because: ▶️ I’ve learnt lots from being in various marketing rooms ▶️I’ve increased my knowledge about LinkedIn and Instagram ( I have a full notebook 📒 ) ▶️I’ve had the chance to connect with many more people from so many different professions and countries ▶️ I’ve been able to speak in various ‘stages’ not just about social media but all sorts of topics - what a confidence booster ▶️ I’ve listened to some amazing music rooms including my new friend @markdeeksmusic ▶️I’ve made some new friendships which have now developed outside of Clubhouse (I’ve tagged them here 😊) 🌤 Now I’m part of a group of friends who have created a new club The Morning Blend. It’s a kind of breakfast/marketing/sustainability/ networking club where we chat for an hour from 8am BST on Mon - Wed -Fri Anyone can come along to listen or come up to say hi. Let’s grow our networks. If you’d like to join us tomorrow morning (Fri) please do, the link’s in my bio. 🤔 What’s your experience of Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces? 👂🏼Do you think social audio will last? . . . . #clubhouseapp #clubhousefriends #Clubhouseconversations ##SocialAudio #AudioApps #NetworkingBusiness #Conversations #EllaExplainer #BuildingConnections #BuildingYourNetwork #MorningChats #BeSocial #LeicestershireBusiness #NewOpportunities #FindYourTribe #NewFriendships

🎉 It was my birthday on Tuesday. I was 56. I'm 🎉 It was my birthday on Tuesday. I was 56. I'm not bothered about my age. We all get older. The thing is I honestly feel a lot younger than my 56 years. A big part of that is down to my ‘new life' as a business owner. 👩🏽‍🎓I had no intention of running my own business. When I started teaching in 1988 I thought I'd retire as a teacher. Now I don't intend to retire because I'm having too much fun. I love my business. I have learnt so much since retraining in social media marketing, exactly 4 years ago with @digitalmums. One of the biggest motivators for me is continuous learning. It keeps my brain active. I am constantly learning new things to help my business grow and my brain is always sparking new ideas for my social and blog posts. 🙌🏾 Yes, my business has given me a new lease of life. I'm certainly not winding down. Quite the opposite in fact. I have had so many lovely birthday wishes (especially on LinkedIn 🔗which honestly surprised me. The online support is another reason I love my job.) I also had some fab gifts - beautiful @bloomandwild flowers from @bizstyler and a delicate orchid from my PT @kezkinz. I also love the handmade card in my brand colours 💚💜 from my talented card crafter friend Carrie @theinkynook. Thank you! 😊 Now how about you?

🔗Do you know the best way to create visibility 🔗Do you know the best way to create visibility on LinkedIn? Level up your engagement. 🏄🏽‍♀️Commenting on people’s posts is a highly effective way to gain confidence on the platform, get involved in conversations and build your network. ❌ Don’t fall into the trap of just responding with a like or any other emoji response. 😊 You want to be noticed and leaving a valuable comment could be worth its weight in gold if it means someone checks out your profile as a result. ❌ Don’t join an engagement pod. It’s not genuine engagement and is not looked on favourably by LinkedIn. You could be in danger of being banned from the platform. Create a commenting mindset and get stuck into genuine conversations with people you are interested in. These comment threads are golden threads. They are often where the best conversations happen! Does this make LinkedIn a little more appealing and less daunting perhaps? 🤔🙌🏾 . . . . #LinkedInTips #LinkedInForBusiness #LinkedInLife #EllaExplainer #LinkedInMarketing #LinkedInBranding #BusinessOwner #Business2Business #BusinessSupport #LinkedInExpert #LinkedInStrategy #LinkedInTraining #LinkedInProfile #CommentOnPosts #Commenting #Connections #ConnectionsMatter #Leicestershire #LeicestershireBusiness #HinckleyLeicestershire #SocialMediaExpert #SocialMediaStrategist #FinancialAdvisor #FinancialAdvice #FinancialAdvisors #VirtualAssistantService
