Dr. Karen’s Monday Greeting
CONTENT strategy
Our gifts make room for us (Proverbs 18:16). Many of us are filled with many gifts, skills, and talents.
What are your gifts? What are you passionate about? Create a product on a platform and let the world hear about it!
It is important to identify what they are, but also to use them as Dr. Karen S. Ratliff well. It is unacceptable to live life Editor In Chief, unfulfilled, simply because we I Love Mondays with Dr. Karen don’t use what is already inside of us. Gifts, skills, and talents come in different forms and can be manifested on different platforms. Letter from the Editor
Allow me to guide you on different platforms that you can use to manifest your gift(s) via expressing your talents and passions through Podcasts, Blogs, Webinars, YouTube Channel, Online Course, or an E-Magazine.
