#635 How to Win Business Awards & Build a Bold, Credible Brand with Lauren Clemett

Talking with the Experts: Business Insights

What if self-promotion wasn’t about ego—but about building impact and credibility?

In this bold episode of Talking with the Experts, Rose Davidson sits down with award strategist and personal branding expert Lauren Clemett to explore how business owners can harness the power of awards to skyrocket their visibility, build lasting credibility, and attract more opportunities—without feeling salesy or full of themselves.

Lauren, founder of The Audacious Agency, has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs become award-winning brands. With decades of brand management experience, she shares her proven process to not only win awards—but leverage them strategically.

You’ll learn how to:

• Craft compelling award entries using stories and data that captivate judges
• Break through imposter syndrome and the fear of “self-promotion”
• Turn a trophy win into media attention, authority, and sales
• Build a personal brand that positions you as a respected, sought-after expert

Lauren walks us through the Bold, Brave & Audacious method:
✨ Be Bold – Set recognition goals and highlight results that matter
💪 Be Brave – Understand that visibility isn’t vanity—it’s strategy
🔥 Be Audacious – Use every award win (or nomination) to amplify your reach

This episode is your invitation to stop being the best-kept secret and start claiming your seat at the table. Whether you're applying for your first award or want to elevate your brand authority—this is your game plan.
