Join Kate Paine live on Coffee with Kate with Sandra Yancey and Kym Yancey, Co-Founders of eWomenNetwork, along with Briana Dai, Vice President of Digital Innovation, for a business-focused conversation on succession planning.
 
Together, we’ll explore how to intentionally prepare the future leadership of a founder-led organization.

While their journey includes a family leadership transition, this conversation is relevant to any business owner thinking about continuity, whether that means developing internal leaders, preparing future executives, or ensuring the longevity of what they’ve built over the last 26 years.

We’ll discuss:

• When succession planning first becomes a real conversation
• How leadership transitions are approached thoughtfully
• What founders should consider early, even if they are not ready to step away
• Lessons learned from planning the future of a growing organization

This is a practical, high-level discussion designed to help leaders think ahead without feeling overwhelmed.

"Your personal brand equals your reputation.”
— Kate Paine

Most authors cringe at the term personal brand. But here’s the truth: You already have one. It’s not a slogan. It’s how people talk about you when you’re not in the room.

Kate Paine breaks down how to shape your profile so it reflects your values, voice, and credibility.

FROM THE PODCAST:

Does LinkedIn feel like a corporate maze or worse, a place where everyone’s shouting but no one’s listening? Allison Lane is joined by visibility and personal branding expert Kate Paine to unpack how authors can turn their LinkedIn presence into a powerful personal brand without chasing the algorithm, faking expertise, or posting bland corporate content. Kate shares what works from optimizing your profile to making short-form video your visibility secret weapon. If you want to attract readers, media, and publishers without becoming a social media robot, this episode is your roadmap. What You’ll Learn:

• How to craft a keyword-rich LinkedIn headline that helps you show up in search
• What to post (and what to stop posting) to grow your visibility as an author
• Why short-form video is the secret weapon for author branding on LinkedIn

“Your story is your superpower — and sharing it is how you stand out.”

That’s the heart of Kate Paine’s work, and it’s exactly what she shares in her recent feature in Shoutout Colorado. In this in-depth interview, Kate opens up about her journey from a college newsroom internship to becoming the founder of Standing Out Online — a visibility and personal brand strategy firm helping entrepreneurs, coaches, and speakers show up confidently and credibly online.

In the article, Kate discusses:

Why storytelling is at the core of every powerful personal brand
How being visible (not just busy) drives business growth
The importance of trusting your instincts and carving your own path
How she helps clients feel confident talking about what sets them apart

“Visibility is the antidote to invisibility. I believe that when people share who they are and what they stand for — not just what they sell — they attract aligned clients and opportunities.” – Kate Paine, in Shoutout Colorado

This feature is a must-read if you're building your brand, finding your voice, or feeling stuck in how to show up online.

In this episode of Coffee with Kate, I sit down with Joe McKay - LinkedIn ghostwriter and personal brand strategist - who went from earning $500 for his first post package to building a thriving six-figure business in under two years. Joe shares his no-fluff approach to creating LinkedIn content that actually resonates (not just performs), and why helping clients sound like themselves is the key to standing out. If you're tired of recycled content tips and want a refreshingly honest take on what works on LinkedIn today, tune in.
