About this podcast
The 'Showing Up with Vicki Knights' podcast is for purpose-led business owners who want to show up with joyful confidence.
In this top-rated podcast, we unwrap the layers of getting visible and building a truly personal brand while staying completely and utterly you.
Are you tired of being told you need to post more, shout louder or be someone you're not? Me too. That's why this podcast is about unlearning the noisy advice and finding your own way of being seen - one that feels joyful and true to you.
In each episode, I'll share honest insights and strategies to help you build your personal brand and show up in your business even when self-doubt or comparison creep in. You'll also hear powerful conversations with inspiring guests who will be sharing how they learnt to show up with joy.
I'm Vicki Knights - a Visibility Strategist, a Positive Psychology Practitioner and one of the UK's leading Brand Photographers - with over 20 years of branding and marketing experience and on a mission to help business owners to be seen (without burning out or pretending to be someone they're not).
