Competition and Comparison with Lucy Werner

Competition & Comparison with Lucy Werner

Lucy Werner, writer and the self-promotion expert behind Hypeyourself.com, joins Leila from her home in France - avec baby on lap - to share her insights and reflections.

Lucy talks about navigating the online world, where the lines between inspiration and imitation blur, and how she counters the pull of negative patterns by focusing on her distinctiveness. She emphasises the power of authenticity and personal brand uniqueness, which reassuringly cannot be quite so easily replicated by others as brand colours and copy often can.

Leila and Lucy also explore psychological terms "proximity effect" and

"imagined audiences,"

In this friendly chat Lucy and Leila navigate the tricky waters of professional rivalry

with grace, humour, and a healthy dollop of self-hype!
