#463: How to Use Your Personal Brand Story as a Superpower
You, like everyone, has had highs and lows in your life. These are the moments that shape who you are and inform your unique expertise the world needs to hear about.
But sharing your story, especially the unsettling dark days, is often hard because you’re afraid that people won’t respect you for what you’ve been through.
Cheryl Hunter hid her story of being abducted, abused and left for dead for years because she feared what people would think.
But it is this event in her life that has shaped her expertise as model, media personality, and personal branding coach.
Now she freely shares her story everywhere to help others find the courage to do the same.
Cheryl Hunter has been featured worldwide by major media outlets including People Magazine, Goalcast, Dr. Phil, NBC News, Dr. Oz, CNN, Fox, PBS and more.
She believes in the potential that the right message can change the world. So in addition to writing and producing for HBO, CBS, Paramount Pictures, and NBC, Cheryl and her team of major media gatekeepers help mission-driven experts leverage the power of major media to get their message, story, and business known by millions.
Forbes Magazine said,
“Cheryl has something very important to teach about reaching your fullest potential on this planet.”
