Tanya: Please share your strategy on building brand trust and trust in your business and services you offer in a professional way? CALD businesses and business owners often don't have visibility on LinkedIn and professional/community platforms which often limits their ability to break through into diverse audiences, gain funding, get sales outside of their friends and family on a smaller scale. Please advise on how to confidently present yourself in these arenas in order to engage a broader demographic?
