4. What is your biggest pet peeve?

5. If you could have dinner with anyone (living or not) who would it be and why?
I’d ask my friends online and off whom they’d like to see me have dinner with (famous or not) then have them vote up a top three and choose someone living. More chances of finding an interesting person I might have missed and we could do a live stream event to all have dinner together. Shall we test it and see if we get fun results? Reach out (@juliettepowell) on twitter, facebook, youtube, LinkedIn and Google+ for your suggestions (tbd) …
6. Why is having a powerful personal brand important to you?
The best offering I have is myself.
7. What is your #1 marketing tip for fellow female entrepreneurs?
Drop your assumptions. Offer real value to your community of stakeholders, according to what THEY consider real value. Amplify that value through connective technology and as you engage, never forget that you are interacting with people – not clients, customers or leads – people who are just like you so treat them the way you’d want to be treated. Be helpful, empathetic and kind. Listen, learn and have fun co-creating the future together.
