  • “Petra's "Create Magnetic Content to Lasso Leads on LinkedIn" workshop was everything I hoped for and more. She is very generous sharing her knowledge and filling her presentations with actionable ideas and examples. Petra created a step by step, easy to follow, easy to understand program for creating LinkedIn content to support personal branding. She took what can be a daunting and complex process and helped us walk away with the inspiration, tools and knowledge to activate a sustainable and scalable LinkedIn Content Campaign. I have ever experienced a workshop like this --- generosity, learning and and takeaways for readiness and action. I highly recommend Petra to anyone who desires to learn a unique program for connecting personal branding with LinkedIn content creation and strategy.”

  • “Petra’s presentation was incredible. It was filled with wit, excitement, wisdom and experience; step by step strategies to create a plan and enjoy the results for our businesses, our clients, and our careers community. Bravo, Petra. Your energy made it the fastest two-hour session. I could have enjoyed another two hours (okay, okay, I'll admit it, I could have enjoyed another four hours!!!!) You taught us so much about content and structure for our social media outreach! Now, we can all easily build out exciting, relevant, and timely content for our followers. Thank you - well done! You are such a pro!”

  • “Petra did a fantastic job! She delivered a laughter-filled keynote address with a powerful message. Her presentation about “Future of work” was outstanding. She was extremely professional in her presentation and highly educated in the subject she presented. She is simply a superstar in her field.”

  • “Petra delivered a compelling presentation in a clear and easy-to-understand way. She was a confident and capable public speaker who held the audience’s attention throughout her presentation.

    I personally came away wishing that I had known about the importance of monetising my personal brand when I first started my career years’ ago.”

  • “Petra's presentation was totally on point for the students, especially her stress of soft skills such as cross-cultural competency, team work etc, which are very relevant to the political science/humanitarian/development world. Petra's talk was very responsive to the needs of her audience, and gave them a business orientated perspective on the job market.”
