Get to know Liana Zavo and a few of her personal branding leadership thoughts: Liana Zavo continued to soar high in her career when she became a member of the Forbes Business Council and Entrepreneur Magazine in 2020 and the Young Entrepreneur Council in 2021. The years spent building her brand as a thought leader and media mogul led to more opportunities that enabled her to continue her advocacy for empowering female entrepreneurs and teaching them how to be seen and heard. By the end of 2021, Liana Zavo published and released her book titled BEPIC: Be Seen & Be Heard, which is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Goodreads.

Question: Do you believe that the style of leadership matters in leading a company? How did you Manage your agency all these years? Liana: Every leader has a different style of management. As long as everyone is passionate about what they do, the rest automatically follows. I believe that leading by example creates a positive environment and inspires the workforce to do the same. I learn from my employees on a daily basis and I listen to them and deliver to create a high-vibrational work environment. Since Covid, my whole agency went remote and that created more creativity to work on campaigns. When everybody works smart for the brand, consumers receive excellent service, bringing positive reviews and feedback to the company. Taking our clients from zero to heroes and making them into irresistible brands, that is our mission. Now that is a cycle that every leader would want to have.

Question: Would it be a good time to start a business in our current state?

Liana Zavo: The new normal proved to be a complicated situation for everyone. Businesses had to adjust and pivot according to the new rules and health protocols to keep everyone safe. I suggest studying the latest trends and keeping an eye on where the demand is. Always keep moving like a shark! Social media is an ideal place to start since brands have switched completely digital to boost their presence online. Despite the pressures of the pandemic, there are still plenty of options worth trying. Don’t limit your imagination and ideas.

Question: To wrap up this interview, what is the biggest takeaway that aspiring influencers can learn from the media mogul on Clubhouse?

Liana Zavo: Own your influence and never let failures define who you are. We all start from small, humble beginnings and push forward to evolve into what we desire to be. I started with a few followers on Clubhouse, but that didn’t discourage me. I kept going and visited different rooms, joined in conversations, and connected with many people. I shared my knowledge, and in return, gained wisdom from peers. I showed up consistently until people recognized me for my expertise in my niche. My influence grew and led me to where I am today because I decided to pour into others with my expertise and knowledge in PR, media and how to run a successful business.
