A couple of years back, I had a talk with a person who specialized in coaching personal brands to become a better public speaker. After a while, I found out that he was a truly great coach if you were into being a mainstream public speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for me, a curly creative business avantgardist who had NO interest in becoming a public speaker who spoke for hundreds of people at the same company at once, about happiness in the workplace or motivation, it didn’t really work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He didn’t know what box to put me in. However, he said one thing that I still think a lot about. He thought I was too accessible<\/strong>. He didn’t think I could become a  public speaker or a huge personal brand being so accessible. I mean everybody could get into contact with me everywhere, right? On social media, on the streets, book a 1-on-1 digital feedback session with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even had my email listed on my webpage instead of having a contact form!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To him, it seemed unprofessional. Relating to people eye to eye. For me it made me wonder; are some personal brands built on inaccessibility? On people not replying to other people? On people not being able to book a meeting with another person because that person is too busy to relate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I disagree. There’s a new kind of rockstar public speaker in town; She’s called \u00a0Henriette Weber and she’s SUPER accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
