Pitch your true self with Cher Hale, Ginkgo PR

Episode 103. "People are very reticent to pitch themselves... Don't let the fear of rejection hold you back from putting yourself out there when you know you can be helpful -- when you really feel that inside of you." ~Cher Hale, director and founder at Ginkgo Public Relations Raise your hand if you’ve experienced a new wave of creator impostor symptoms since shelter-in-place orders began. You’re not alone. When crisis strikes - world-wide and well outside our control - the brain turns up the volume on negative self-talk, making it next to impossible to pitch ourselves. We wonder about our ability to serve our communities. We downplay our hard-fought experience. We worry about appearing insensitive. Stop it. Cher Hale, owner of Ginkgo Public Relations, says your message still matters - now more than ever. Her advice for confused creative imposters? Stay in your lane no matter how compelling a similar creative’s 180º pivot appears. Whether that means shifting to daily Facebook Live postings or putting your business on pause, stay genuine. Ultimately, Cher reminds us that we’ve created something; we’re experts at that! A crisis shouldn’t radically alter our fundamental message or our ability to support the communities we’ve built. Pitch your true self out there - when you’re ready. Get the full show notes, resources, and connect with Cher at http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/103. P.S.
