34 - Stop being a best-kept secret

It’s not enough in this day and age to be amazing at what you do. You need visibility too! That is probably one of the toughest pills I have had to swallow through my career and personal life over the last few years. I always thought I could let my work and my actions do the talking. Sometimes, it worked; often, it didn’t. Perhaps you’ve arrived at that conclusion too. You could be the best human being ever… You could be an expert and doing excellent work… If you are not in parallel with that actively making sure people see you and understand you, you are missing out. Big time. Exactly like I used to. In today’s episode, I get tactical on the best steps you can take to build your visibility day after day. So you can stop being a best-kept secret and get the world to see what you bring!

33 - How to speak so people listen

Have you ever felt not listened to? Had what you said been ignored, even if it was important or a good idea? If you are trying to build your visibility, get your message across, or persuade someone, not being listened to might feel like you are hitting a wall. Discouraging and frustrating. Often, it’s not about you as a person, but about 1 simple thing. The way you spoke didn’t grab their brains’ attention or triggered red flags up there. And that can easily be fixed. In today’s episode, I explore how to communicate in compelling ways and get your message across by leveraging human psychology. So you can feel confident that people will listen. On the agenda: 👉 Communication & the human brain 👉 3 core ideas to speak in compelling ways Enjoy this episode! 🔊 “Simplify what you say. Perhaps you heard this advice before: "Make it so easy to understand, even your grandma can make sense of it and explain it.”? That’s the idea. The human brain is built to look for threats. Anything that requires your brain to work hard to understand something is a threat. Your brain will be like: "Nope, not spending my calories on you peeps, bye bye. Go make someone else’s brain work hard."” Curious?

32 - The courage to be authentic

I solemnly swear that I am up to being authentic. And that this podcast hasn’t been created with AI. But from the depths of my human brain and life experiences. At a time when you can’t tell anymore what is real or not… When things shared start to look awfully like the same everywhere… When people are scared to be cancelled if they don’t come across the right way or if they share the messy, unpolished bits… Showing up with authenticity almost feels like an act of rebellion and bravery. Yet, I believe this is the best way to move through the world and communicate with others too. For all the peace of mind and beautiful opportunities it can create. In today’s episode, I explore how to cultivate and communicate with authenticity intentionally. So you can bring out the truer version of you and get everything you deserve. On the agenda: 👉 Why authenticity matters more than ever 👉 What it means to show up authentic 👉 How to practice authenticity actively and courageously Enjoy this episode! 🔊 “”Just be yourself” is the usual, and most useless, authenticity advice I have ever received. What helped me more was to look at past moments when I would intuitively say that I was authentic, and look at my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in those moments. That gives me a practical baseline to recognize if I am showing up authentic or not in other situations, and what to aim for.” Curious?

31 - To share or not to share

To share or not to share, that is the question… Not to sound too dramatic, but there is a lot of drama around sharing personal stories. A lot of confusion and subjective conflicting opinions. Sharing personal things makes you relatable and human - so you should share. Sharing personal things makes you unprofessional or “too much”– so you shouldn’t share. I believe there is power in sharing personal experiences to influence and connect with others. Fun ones, vulnerable ones, random ones. And it will serve you well if you are intentional about when you do this. In today’s episode, I walk you through the practical 3-step process I use to decide whether or not something is worth sharing openly. So you can be more comfortable sharing your experiences too. On the agenda: 👉 The benefits of sharing personal stories 👉 How to decide if something is worth sharing 👉 How to share with confidence Enjoy this episode! 🔊 “There is power in sharing the raw, real, vulnerable moments. These tough situations are part of human life. I read this quote somewhere on Instagram: “Someone somewhere has wounds in the exact shape of your words.”. Sharing can help others put words on the experience they are going through and make a difference in their lives. But only if you share from a place of clarity and maturity. When you have processed properly the emotions yourself, and can see what the lessons are.” Curious?

30 - Communicating with influence

Ever wondered what makes someone influential in someone else’s life? When I started training my communication skills, I remember getting very confused with all the tips and tricks out there. And not being confident that I was doing the right things to become someone who had a positive impact on others! I was always scratching my head when I was running into a new situation, making things more complicated than they had to be. Often getting discouraged and not feeling I had any power in conversations. And of course, absolutely not feeling influential, let alone visible! It all changed when I began to understand the fundamental psychology behind human influence better. In today’s episode, I share with you the core principles to leverage to build influence easily. And how you can use them in any situation that requires you to communicate with impact. So you can achieve your visibility goals and be a positive presence in other people’s lives! On the agenda: 👉 Influence and visibility 👉 The 3 core principles behind influence 👉 How to train yourself to be influential Enjoy this episode! 🔊 “Inspire others to take action, challenge them to make decisions or improve, or do something that helps them take the next step. The human brain loves momentum and getting a sense of progress. It’s a sign of growth and evolution that is positively perceived. Help others feel like this and have their brain associate you with momentum; they will remember you as someone influential in their lives.” Curious?
