Online branding

Branding is about identifying your rainbow of talent and applying it with a plethora of passion in your well -researched target areas.

Your online brand should have the WOW factor but this needs to be accompanied by authenticity.

Your brand—your tag line for your online portfolio—has to be a ladle dropper. Like listening to Ted Koppul s great new stories, this tag line makes you drop your ladle as you are cooking in the kitchen and run to the TV set.

International Women s Day March 8 th

International Women s Day - March 8 th,which is celebrating its one hundred- year anniversary, is dedicated to all women , warriors in pink, who fight discrimination based on skin colour, gender, culture , age, religion, educational and socio-economic status, or simply their weight, or the colour of their hair.



Instead of being divided, we have to be united in our battle for equal status in the workplace, and in the world.



As we honour this significant day and remember all those who fought so hard so we may observe it, let us make a promise to ourselves that we may never turn away from another woman in need- no matter the circumstances involved.
