Tanya Smith speaks to experienced professionals and leaders about staying visible, trusted, and relevant as AI changes how expertise is discovered and valued.
About Tanya Smith
Tanya Smith is a Digital Authority strategist, speaker, certified AI consultant, and host of the Build Digital Authority podcast. She helps experienced women and expert-led organizations turn earned expertise into a digital presence people can recognize, trust, find, and connect to meaningful opportunities.
Her talks explore the full path from authority positioning to intellectual property, on-camera presence, durable visibility, and opportunity. Personal branding, video, and responsible AI are woven throughout as practical tools that help strong expertise become easier to recognize and use. Her perspective is shaped by 34 years of corporate experience spanning HR technology, social media policy, and AI governance, along with years of hands-on work in video, digital strategy, and AI-supported business systems.
Tanya is also the creator and former host of Stream Like a Boss®, her trademarked livestream show and body of work on on-camera communication. That experience remains an important part of her work today, now positioned inside the broader Digital Authority system rather than as a separate discipline.

Video gives people a chance to experience how you think, teach, and connect. Tanya shares practical approaches to speaking naturally on camera, organizing a clear message, and using video to build trust in ways that fit the person and the purpose.
Visibility, Discovery & Professional Opportunity
Being visible is more useful when people understand why to turn to you. Tanya explores how search, owned resources, professional relationships, and referrals work together to help expertise reach the right people.
