What's the cost of not sharing your ideas till you...
✅️ have earned the next credential?
✅️ have become an expert?
✅️ are ready?
You might be missing out on meaningful opportunities to make an impact.
💡 Myth buster: You are enough. You don't need that next credential to validate your experience or share your thought leadership. As a leader with several credentials, I value and appreciate them. However, I have learned to first appreciate who I am. Your most undervalued credential is your character - who you are, what you stand for, and your strengths that inspire others to show up with their highest best selves.
A senior executive shared that he didn't think his speaking skills were solid. He would often self-select out of speaking opportunities. It was costing his organization significant opportunities to scale their impact. He reached out to change the narrative - to make a difference through speaking. During our coaching session, he gained clarity on the root-causes, recognized his leadership strengths, and walked away with a proven storytelling structure to nail his next big presentation.
Instead of focusing on the next credential, waiting to feel ready, or to become an expert in your field, here are 3 simple ways to get started or strengthen how you communicate as a leader:
💡1) Conduct an asset audit of your existing strengths, experiences, and networks.
💡2) Share your character-molding experiences and life lessons from your leadership journey to add value to your network.
💡3) Partner with an executive coach to get 10x better at communicating with confidence, influence, and impact.
Here's a Pro tip:
