As a performer, artist or just as someone aiming to promote your business, do you ever worry that you're bragging rather than sharing your talents, and that this might be harming rather than hindering you?

This episode is for anyone struggling with being consistent at work.

Sarah Cook, founder of a successful women's business network, was for some years an advisor on social media marketing; something most self-employed must learn to use these days.   

Sarah's not a 'corporate creature', despite descriptive words like 'networking' and 'marketing' attached to her; she has a degree in fashion and her flamboyant style couldn't be less business-suity. 

Sarah joins host Frances Butt to discuss managing stamina and expectations, learning how to give in to proper rest, and to trust that those creative juices will flow again.
