There are technical ways to do this but for me, writing in the 3rd person works best, because when I am introduced in a meeting, the M.C. does not need to edit what is written; it is already IN the 3rd person.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to include awards and recognitions you have received &#8211; I know this may be uncomfortable and feel rather braggadocious but the organization that will be reading your bio needs to know your qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have your bio on your website? Do you send a bio or a promo page when someone requests to get on your schedule for a presentation? Be proud of your accomplishments and a well-done biography will be a great way to let people know what you are made of.<\/p>\n<p>www.CathyWeaverKC.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/kQP6B2LDSdE?si=4SIIGTrqAVYWeGb4Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: How to Write a Bio (https:\/\/youtu.be\/kQP6B2LDSdE?si=4SIIGTrqAVYWeGb4) Whether you are a speaker and a trainer, or a Networker, or a jobseeker, writing the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[401,944,405,408],"tags":[1200,1329,1004,887,1330,1331,943,1060,1079],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4422"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4422"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4427,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4422\/revisions\/4427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cathyweaverkc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
