Today I am talking to, well, myself! After a few requests, it is a special solo episode to round out 2021!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jane McKay, a marketing consultant and coach who has been in the business of marketing for more than fifteen years.

Armed with a bachelor of arts and a masters in media and communications, I worked my way from junior copywriter to marketing manager in a range of roles in corporate Melbourne until 2009 when my husband and I made a treechange to the sunny wilds of Bruthen, East Gippsland and Jane McKay Communications was born.

Harnessing all I’d learned in my corporate career, my original plans to ‘just’ be a freelance copywriter soon transformed into delivering copywriting, content creation, print design, website design, social media and marketing strategist and the evolution continues today.

There’s no need to hire a designer, a copywriter, a website designer, a graphic designer, a social media strategist, a marketing strategist and a content coach: I provide my clients with holistic and comprehensive marketing solutions that feel completely aligned with their personal brand.

Want to talk about your personal brand in 2022? Get in touch.

Today I am talking to Kerryn Vaughan.

Kerryn is an international speaker and author, facilitator, and podcast host.

Kerryn’s award-winning book ‘Magnificent Kids!’ was the catalyst to her founding the global organisation One Planet Classrooms, which facilitates projects such as clean water solutions and student sponsorship program`s, to schools and communities in Africa.

In 2018 Kerryn launched Girls With Hammers which hosts conferences and workshops aimed at empowering and connecting women, and in 2019 Kerryn released her second book ‘Get Off The Bench!’ to help people bring their ideas to life. The ‘Get Off The Bench!’ Podcast came to life in 2020 after a number of false starts and a stint of despair.

Kerryn talks about courage, stepping up, embracing failure, creating a better world and standing in your truth. Her work with clients is designed to help people kickstart their idea, and to consider what lies on the other side of possibility. Kerryn delivers in a brutally honest kick-ass way that only Kerryn can, so strap yourself in for a fast-paced adventure.
