Joanne Lockwood – Upcycling and Recycling – #StandOut with Content Multi-purposing
Hear from Joanne about what she will bring to you at PSA Virtual this February:
Join me, Joanne Lockwood, in the workshop “Upcycling and Recycling – #StandOut with Content Multipurposing,” where I’ll guide you through transforming your existing content into diverse, engaging formats for various platforms.
This session, rooted in my experience as a Professional Speaker and Content Generator, offers a practical deep dive into content multi-purposing, combining AI tools and hands-on activities for maximum engagement and impact.
Embrace this journey of creative transformation, turning your current resources into a dynamic repertoire that resonates with your audience and makes you #StandOut.
Three key takeaways from this session will be:
- Mastering the art of repurposing content across multiple platforms, ensuring you #StandOut.
- Practical strategies and tools for generating fresh, engaging content ideas.
- Actionable techniques for tailoring content to different audiences, optimising reach and engagement.
Are you prepared to transform your content strategy and truly #StandOut?
Ruth Fogg – How to be an Inclusive Speaker and ensure that your message is heard
Do you consider yourself to be an inclusive speaker? Really? How do you know that your message is being heard and understood?
Statistics show that 1 in 6 of us have hearing loss, so what can you do to ensure that your message is being heard?
Ruth is sharing the story of her hearing loss, how it has affected her life, and how she overcame her belief that because she was deaf, she was “daft”.
She will give us tips on becoming more inclusive as speakers, especially when considering hidden disabilities.
Your message is important – make sure it’s heard! Ruth is on a mission to raise deaf awareness so let’s give her our support!
