Help Your People Show Up With Confidence
Practical, engaging workshops in personal branding, LinkedIn, AI-powered visual content and smartphone content creation.
Your people have knowledge, expertise and ideas worth sharing. But knowing your stuff and having the confidence and skills to put yourself out there are two very different things.
I deliver practical, interactive workshops that help teams build their personal brands, share their expertise and create better content, giving them skills they can use straight away.
Because when your people become more visible and trusted, your organisation does too.
Your People Are Your Brand
People don't just connect with companies.
They connect with the people behind them.
Your employees have stories, expertise, perspectives and experiences that can build trust in your organisation, but many don't know how to share them.
They might lack confidence on LinkedIn, feel uncomfortable putting themselves on camera, struggle to create good visual content or simply not know where to start.
That's where I can help.
My workshops combine personal branding, confidence and practical content creation skills to help your people show up in a way that feels credible, professional and human.
Maira spent the day with our social media team, providing an excellent introduction/refresher to both smart phone photography and making our own instagram reels. The impact has been instant - our feeds have been flourishing and the day really inspired the team to try new things and excel in their content production!

WORKSHOP 1:
Personal Branding + LinkedIn
Help your people become known for what they know.
Your employees already have expertise. This workshop helps them turn that expertise into a personal brand that builds their reputation and strengthens the visibility and credibility of your organisation at the same time.
We'll explore how to define what you want to be known for, communicate your expertise, optimise your LinkedIn presence and create content that allows people to get to know the person behind the job title.
Topics can include:
➡︎ Personal branding and why it matters
➡︎ Defining what you want to be known for
➡︎ Building a credible LinkedIn profile
➡︎ Finding your voice online
➡︎ Sharing expertise and thought leadership
➡︎ Creating content people actually want to engage with
➡︎ Building confidence around being visible
Best for: leadership teams, consultants, professional services, founders and employee advocacy programmes.
WORKSHOP 2:
AI-Powered Visual Content Creation
Create better branded content, faster.
AI has made it easier than ever to create content.
But creating good content, content that's relevant, distinctive and actually feels like your brand, still requires human judgement and creativity.
This practical workshop shows your team how to use AI tools to support visual content creation while keeping the ideas, personality and human connection that make great content work.
We'll explore how AI can help you develop ideas, create visual concepts and produce on-brand content more efficiently, without making everything look like it was made by AI.
Topics can include:
➡︎ Using AI to generate and develop content ideas
➡︎ Creating visual concepts and campaign ideas
➡︎ AI image generation and visual content creation
➡︎ Creating on-brand graphics and assets
➡︎ Writing better prompts for visual content
➡︎ Combining AI with your existing photography and brand assets
➡︎ Keeping AI-generated content human and recognisably yours
➡︎ Practical ways to save time in the content creation process
Best for: marketing teams, small businesses, communications teams, founders and organisations wanting to build practical AI capability.
WORKSHOP 3:
Smartphone Content + Camera Confidence
Give your team the confidence to create.
You don't need expensive equipment or a production team to create great content.
Most of what your organisation needs is already sitting in your team's pockets.
This hands-on workshop teaches your people how to confidently create professional-looking photography, B-roll and short-form video using their smartphones, and feel more comfortable when it's their turn to step in front of the camera.
Topics can include:
➡︎ Smartphone photography fundamentals
➡︎ Lighting, composition and framing
➡︎ Creating professional-looking B-roll
➡︎ Planning and filming short-form video
➡︎ Speaking confidently to camera
➡︎ Simple posing and camera-confidence techniques
➡︎ Creating content that feels natural rather than staged
➡︎ Turning everyday moments into useful brand content
Best for: marketing teams, small businesses, schools, charities, professional services and teams responsible for creating their own content.
This Isn't Another Sit-And-Listen Workshop
I believe people learn by doing.
My workshops are practical, interactive and designed to give your team skills they can start using as soon as they leave the room.
We'll discuss ideas, look at real examples, practise techniques and actually create.
And because my background spans personal branding, photography, content creation and visibility, I don't teach these things in isolation.
I strongly believe that People Buy From People.
Your employees aren't just representatives of your organisation.
They're experts.
They're storytellers.
They're the people your clients, customers and communities actually interact with.
Giving them the confidence and skills to share what they know doesn't just build their personal brands.
It humanises your organisation.
Because when your people share their expertise, stories and perspectives authentically, clients don't just see a company, they see people they can connect with, trust and choose.
Maira was a joy to work with and delivered two excellent in-person sessions at our network event, as well as a highly engaging online session. She is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and thoughtful in how she adapts content for participants with different levels of experience and background knowledge. Feedback from attendees was very strong, and we would absolutely work with her again!
