Happy holidays! (Major updates, new email address, – and gifts – below!)
Hanukkah and Christmas are in the rearview mirror, happy Kwanzaa today to all who celebrate, and another new year is just ahead of us. It’s a wonderful and exciting time of year.
A big part of what makes the holiday season so much fun is that it has such a long ramp-up.
It’s great to have something to look forward to, a fresh start and endless possibilities.
Regardless of what surprise gifts you unwrapped, there’s one more thing still in the ramp-up phase that I hope you’re as excited about as I am.
After 11 years, Vocal Impact Productions is going to get a total overhaul. Don’t worry – we’ll still have the same great focus on leadership communication and influence as always, but with a new name and fresh new look.

This will be my new email address, and this newsletter will be coming from it starting next week. We want to make sure it doesn’t go into your bulk folder or somewhere worse!
I know how much I love connecting with you each week, how important it is for me to share updates with you, along with stories, leadership communication tips and of course new podcast episodes, and I hope you look forward to it each week as well.
So this week’s podcast episode is a short one. It’s a retrospective on lessons in branding, where I’ll share how VIP came to be, where we were, where we are, and why it’s time for a change to get to where we want to go.
After all, as Marshall Goldsmith famously wrote, “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.” We’re taking that advice to heart.
And here’s my last gift to you for the new year:
In case you missed it, here’s the replay for my webinar, “8 Keys to Establishing Your Brand as a Go-To Thought Leader.”
It’s everything I’ve learned in the last two decades building my own brand of expertise, and I’ve boiled it all down to 8 totally DIY Keys to success. I’ll walk you through all 8 Keys so you discover not just how to get on podcasts, panels, etc., but more importantly, how to be so good that you get invited BACK!
If that’s not enough, and you want more personal guidance to ensure you get it done AND get results, there are still a few remaining seats in my upcoming master class, “Eight Weeks to Establishing Your Brand as a Go-To Thought Leader.” You can go here for more information or just reply to me if you’re interested in learning more.
And best of all, by the end of the eight weeks you’ll have your first speaking gig booked, GUARANTEED! That’s my promise and New Year’s resolution to you.
It starts January 3rd, there are only 10 seats total, and once the last seats are filled, the waitlist begins. (And that’s not nearly as much fun!)
But if you are ready for a new year that opens doors for you to share your passion and expertise with the world, and increase your sphere of influence with every opportunity, be sure to check it out.
REMEMBER: please whitelist (place on your approved sender list) laura@laurasicola.com,
And look for the big reveal next week!
One way or another, I wish you all a very happy, healthy, prosperous, and exciting new year!
