From a Hype Yourself perspective I love a catchphrase and to say them over again and again. Which is similar I think to having the confidence to share the expertise piece. Not just saying the expertise once and repeating it, because people don't always catch it the first time or forget it. Very poignant reminder thank you!

I'm learning to love catchphrases. I used to think I had to find a fresh way to articulate ideas every time until I realised that I am LITERALLY the only person who cares! Pretty much everyone else is too busy to notice, or too busy to care!

RuPaul has used the same catchphrases in every episode and season (and international franchise) of RuPaul’s Drag Race. It makes me want to catchphrase myself up more!

Thanks for this, Nicola. Something I struggle with is talking about what I think is obvious or has already been said many times before. And then I see the positive reaction someone else gets for saying it!

Exactly what Lucy says - reminders are *essential* - and also, you will say *it* in a way that only you can say it! Dont under-estimate how many people are reading your work because they like the way you say things!

You have so many great soundbites Gabrielle, even if it is obvious it is SO helpful and we need to be reminded of it.
