Growing Social Now with Barbara Rozgonyi

About Growing Social Now with Barbara Rozgonyi

How do you make sure your expertise gets recognized, trusted, and chosen? Brighter Presence explores how accomplished leaders close the Expert Gap™, the distance between what they know and how clearly others understand their value in an AI-shaped world. I'm Barbara Rozgonyi, an international keynote speaker, strategic advisor, and publisher of wiredPRworks, and each episode examines how reputation, communication, personal branding, thought leadership, and AI-powered discovery shape who gets noticed, recommended, invited, hired, and remembered. Through focused interviews with executives, CMOs, association and conference leaders, speakers, researchers, founders, and other influential experts, Brighter Presence reveals: How accomplished people become known for what they know What builds, or quietly undermines, trust and credibility How LinkedIn, search engines, media, and AI systems interpret expertise How thought leadership leads to speaking, media, leadership, and business opportunities How to build meaningful visibility without becoming a 24/7 content machine You'll also hear my own solo insights, including my Brighter Presence frameworks and observations from decades at the intersection of leadership, PR, marketing, technology, and human connection. Because expertise alone isn't enough. What gets seen shapes what gets chosen. Brighter Presence was formerly known as Growing Social Now.

   Introducing Brighter Presence

   Five years ago, I launched Growing Social Now to reconnect with friends, colleagues, and inspiring leaders during the isolation of COVID. Along the way, something unexpected happened. As I revisited more than 50 conversations with entrepreneurs, marketers, keynote speakers, authors, innovators, and business leaders, I realized the podcast had never really been about social media. It had always been about presence. In this first episode of Brighter Presence, I share the story behind the rebran...

The New Rules of Personal Branding in the AI Era Why You Need a Brighter Presence Now

Published 31 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So why brighter presence? Because the game has changed. We're standing in a whole new world driven by AI, rapid-fire content, and constant distraction. Here's the paradox. AI tools make it easier than ever to publish content, but they're also making everyone sound really close to being identical. Your executive presence and thought leadership are getting blurred out in a sea of generic noise. And worse yet, how people find you is increasingly out of your control because search algorithms and AI engines can be unpredictable. And sometimes they can even recommend a business and link to your competitor's site. […]
