Influencing up is a critical skill to moving up in our careers. We need to be intentional and strategic if we want to be more visible for a new role, promotion or to attract any new opportunity. These six tips will help you get there faster.Build credibility with consistent excellenceDeliver exceptional results consistently to establish yourself as reliable and valuable. When leaders trust your work quality and judgment, they're more likely to consider your ideas and recommendations. Recognize that you have specialized knowledge or frontline insights that leadership lacks. Share these perspectives confidently.Understand your leader's priorities and pressuresTake time to learn what matters most to decision-makers above you - their goals, challenges, and what they're evaluated on. Frame your proposals in terms of these priorities to show alignment with their objectives.Present solutions, not just problemsWhen raising issues, come prepared with thoughtful recommendations and implementation plans. Leaders appreciate team members who think proactively and take initiative rather than simply escalating issues.Communicate strategicallyFrame your ideas in terms of organizational goals and leadership priorities. Tailor your message to your audience's communication style. Some leaders prefer data-driven presentations while others respond to storytelling. Be concise, focus on impact, and anticipate potential questions or concerns.Build genuine relationships before you need themDevelop trust through reliability, thoughtful interactions, and demonstrating value in everyday work. Identify and nurture relationships with influential stakeholders who can champion your ideas. When multiple respected voices support your position, it creates momentum that's difficult for leaders to ignore. Connect with leaders on a personal level while maintaining professionalism. Demonstrate emotional intelligenceRead the organizational climate and timing carefully. Understand when to press forward with an idea and when to temporarily step back. Show empathy for the pressures leaders face while maintaining conviction in your valuable contributions.Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator?

How much do you charge? How much are you? My first question is, How did you interpret that question? Because you could think I'm going to dive into how to set your fees… and I am. You might have had this question come up with a client and wonder, how do I answer that question. I'm going to answer that too. You also could be asked this about something you've never even considered, like … How much would you charge for a presentation ? What are your speaking fees? How much would you charge to create a series of videos for our membership? Or organization or to provide the movement breaks at our corporate event? If you haven't thought about your response to any of these questions, or you really wonder how to set your fee structure when you're starting or want to raise your rates, then this is for you. I'm going to cover each of these in a little series because the two most popular workshops I've hosted in my career: Offer Creation lab Coaching Hotties: The HOW-TO for menopause fitness coaches & trainers And within minutes, when I conduct a Business Better audit with our new Menopause Fitness Specialists, a couple things become clear. Many of us do not know where our biggest profit comes from. We are not creating products and setting fees in a way that puts us in a profitable position. So let's change that. You no longer need to believe that because you're in a service-oriented business, or that you love it, that you can't also make a profit and have a life you love. That stops now, don't you think? Stay tuned for the How Much Do You Charge series. Include Quality in How Much Do You Charge for a Potential Customer “I know I need you but can I afford you?” To answer that, that is similar to answering a meeting planner (from the previous episode). Have a Range Instead of “My rate is $95 an hour.” or “$95 per session for 15 sessions,” You could answer: “How serious are you?” “Did you have a budget in mind?” “How much is it worth to you?” Elaborate and Mention Inclusions Make yours a comprehensive approach. That's really coaching. That's all encompassing and a different kind of a service. “I will give you guidance on what to do, on your own as well.” or “Health coaching to monitor your diet, your stress, your sleep." “The best place to get started would be a discovery call. That's a $50 session and if you decide to step forward and we are a good fit, we apply that credit to your next step.” Give Opportunities Give them opportunities at a low level of $50. Versus, “You want to spend 90 minutes with me.” Instead of saying, “It's $3,000. There's a range that influences the fee, those include....” You could answer, “There are several things that influence how much a package or an in-depth one-time session.” The client has an opportunity to say, “I think I've got this on my own. You've given me what I need to do. I'm gonna try this on my own.” You can respond, “This is great but I want to give accountability. We can look at what that looks like.” “That's a $500 investment. You're gonna do homework and I do too. You jump 90 minutes with me. Then I do a little more homework and send you the recommendation based on where I would start with right now, based on what you've said, and based on the criteria for increasing routine.” What Do You Offer With How Much Do You Charge? Here's the exciting part and I'm so glad you stayed with me. I have experienced that for many business pros doing something for the very first time, they've never even thought, I didn't even know I could do that – that could be my job. The reality is.. you can't teach fitness classes all day, every day. Many of us were teaching 2-4 classes a day. Maybe to cover for somebody who was sick. There was not a lot of fusion in yoga. There were not a lot of barre kinds of classes. There was primarily high impact, maybe low impact, spinning classes, but they were all fairly high intensity. We didn't do what wise yoga instructors do now, which is actually walk around and supervise and be a better teacher, not just being there doing your own workout. The reason many wanted to be fitness instructors is they would say, “I get paid for working out.” Which were most often leading to the poorest quality fitness instructors that we had. Right? It would not be about teaching, cueing and helping someone with form, instead of making sure they keep their own heart rate up or they're getting all the sets in the reps themselves. Some would say, “I'm exhausted.” “I'm doing all the workout because if I don't, they won't do that.” That's ridiculous, right? Something about her instruction is not working. You don't have to work out, even on camera. But what you do is demonstrate and watch that client. If you're a digital professional who knows how to create high quality, video, and audio. Demonstrate the technique and sequencing exercise in the way that it should be. Get all the cues in the technique. That is a combination of skill sets that the pandemic gave to you as a gift.

In this episode of "The Word is Leadership," I explore the implications of our random word "empty" for leaders. I share three key insights to challenge conventional leadership wisdom: The Empty Generalist Do leaders need to be experts in everything? I argue that credibility stems not from encyclopaedic knowledge, but from your ability to: • Codify your experience • Articulate expertise in broader contexts • Demonstrate how diverse experiences apply to current challenges The Empty Raincoat Inspired by Charles Handy's work, I examine the human element in leadership: • The risks of treating employees as "empty vessels" • The importance of preserving humanity in an AI-driven world • Why leaders must grapple with philosophical questions about their impact The Empty Cup Finally I emphasise the critical role of energy management in leadership: • Leadership as an exchange of energy • The dangers of becoming "drained" and how to refill your cup • Why focusing on organisational energy flows is key to long-term success I hope this episode serves as a powerful reminder that effective leadership requires a delicate balance of expertise, humanity, and personal energy management. I conclude by challenging you to reflect on your own leadership journey, asking: "What comes to mind for you, as a leader, when you hear the word empty?"
Eric shares strategies for improving client interactions. The core focus is on viewing client communication through a "prospect's lens," emphasizing the importance of tone, questions, and professionalism to build trust and clarity. The conversation uses the analogy of an ophthalmologist fitting different lenses to illustrate how contractors can change how clients perceive them. Several members of Eric's coaching group share personal and professional successes, highlighting the value of the group's support and training in transforming their businesses. Key Takeaways: Regularly reflect on and celebrate your wins, no matter how small, to appreciate progress and maintain a positive perspective. Always consider interactions from the other person's perspective, understanding their emotional state and how they might be viewing you. Be mindful of your tonality and the way you communicate, as how you say things significantly impacts clarity and perception. Demonstrate trustworthiness through your actions and genuine consideration, rather than using language that might feel like virtue signaling. Commit to consistent repetition and practice of new skills and approaches to achieve lasting change and mastery.

Guest: Shannon Gregg Guest Bio: Shannon J. Gregg, PhD, MBA, is an aficionado of sales technology to increase efficiency in the sales process, and an early adopter and adoption influencer for sales technology systems, particularly Salesforce.com and technology that integrates with the Salesforce platform. Dr. Gregg is the President of Cloud Adoption Solutions, a sales process and Salesforce.com consulting practice, and she also provides keynote talks, consulting and workshops on sales productivity. Her popular book, “It's About Time,” is available now and is being used by sales teams across the country to refocus on what's really important to drive revenue and results. She also instructs the Professional Selling course at Point Park University. She also competes on a jazz dance team for moms. Key Points: Career Transition to Sales Technology: Shannon started in sales almost by accident, selling software in the nuclear nonproliferation space. She discovered that sales is like choreography, focusing on improving sales processes to help salespeople focus on delighting prospects and customers. Shannon transitioned to sales management and eventually started her own Salesforce.com practice in 2018, which has been successful. Sales Choreography: Sales is more complex than sports analogies like "at-bats"; it's about choreographed moments where various teams (marketing, sales, etc.) move prospects through the funnel in a coordinated manner. Having a dance background helped her think quickly on her feet, which is a crucial skill in sales, especially when unexpected challenges arise. Sales Technology: Technology is a tool, not a solution in itself. It should help salespeople do what they do best without overcomplicating things. Sales technology can range from simple tools like phones and Zoom to complex CRMs integrated with other systems. The key to success with sales technology is choosing tools that are easy to use and integrate naturally into the sales process. Adoption of Technology: Sales technology should be easy to adopt. Sales leaders should ensure the tools don't overwhelm the team with complexity, which could lead to poor usage and frustration. Avoid forcing long training sessions. Instead, show how the tools benefit the individual salesperson by demonstrating their value through real-life examples and role-playing. Process in Sales: Having a defined sales process is crucial before introducing technology. Sales leaders should first educate themselves on sales processes and how they fit their market. Sales leaders should focus on progress, not perfection, when creating a sales process. The process should evolve based on feedback and performance. CRM (Client Relationship Management) Tools: A CRM helps sales leaders track where salespeople need coaching and support. CRMs help manage data more efficiently than spreadsheets, providing visibility into the sales pipeline and buyer's journey. CRMs should be customizable to fit the organization's process, but it's important to start with an out-of-the-box version before making customizations. Getting Salespeople to Use Technology: To encourage salespeople to use a CRM, leaders need to show what's in it for them. Demonstrate how using the system helps them perform better. Rather than pushing lengthy training sessions, involve reluctant salespeople in the design and testing phases of the process to ensure the tool works for them. Reluctant salespeople can be powerful allies in motivating others to adopt the tool once they see its value. Challenges with Salespeople's Reluctance: Salespeople often resist using CRMs because they see them as time-consuming or invasive. Leaders should address these concerns by focusing on the benefits of CRM usage, such as better organization and visibility of the sales pipeline, and ensuring the tool is user-friendly. Behavioral Change and Buy-in: Getting salespeople to adopt new systems requires not only clear communication of benefits but also continuous feedback, training, and reinforcement. Real-world examples of success stories, like a salesperson improving their results, can help convince others to embrace the technology.

There are strategic things we can do to advance - the key is to be intentional and make a plan! See below for 5 ways to do it!Build a strategic skillset: Identify skills that are both in high demand in your industry and align with your career goals. Focus on developing technical expertise alongside transferable skills like leadership, communication, and problem-solving that will remain valuable as you progress. Create a deliberate learning plan with regular milestones.Cultivate meaningful relationships: Develop genuine connections with mentors, peers, and industry contacts who can provide guidance, opportunities, and advocacy. Schedule regular coffee chats, contribute to professional communities, and find ways to provide value to others in your network before asking for help.Seek visibility for your work: Volunteer for high-impact projects, share your accomplishments appropriately, and look for opportunities to present your work to decision-makers. Document your achievements and quantifiable results to build a compelling case for advancement when opportunities arise.Request and apply feedback effectively: Actively seek constructive criticism from supervisors, colleagues, and direct reports. Demonstrate your growth mindset by implementing feedback visibly and following up with those who provided it. This shows maturity and dedication to continuous improvement.Take calculated career risks: Step outside your comfort zone by pursuing stretch assignments, lateral moves to develop new skills, or roles in emerging areas of your organization or industry. These strategic pivots often accelerate growth more than staying in a safe but stagnant position. Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator?

Coffee Combats Aging Podcast || Vitality Optimization Course WaitlistFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTVitality Powers Performance* Dr. Mishra emphasizes that vitality—defined as purposeful, energetic, and connected living—is the foundation of optimal performance. Performance, in contrast, is about execution and outcomes. By improving vitality, individuals are more likely to perform at higher, more sustainable levels in their personal and professional lives.Music as a Scientific Tool for Well-being* The podcast presents scientific evidence supporting music as a potent stress-reduction and mental health enhancement tool. Self-selected music can synchronize brainwaves, enhance theta waves, and even treat depression. The more someone enjoys the music, the more effective it is. Dr. Mishra created a “Vitality Explorers 2025” Spotify playlist with his Stanford students to leverage this insight.Top Time Optimization Tips for High-Capacity Humans* Dr. Mishra outlines strategies to become a "high-capacity human" by optimizing time:* Master 80%, understand 20% for exams or critical tasks.* Be ruthless with meeting and office visit time, focusing on top concerns first.* Demonstrate calm under pressure and contribute beyond your role.* Lead like a surgeon: prepare thoroughly, reflect on what works, and build trust.* Balance life for sustainable excellence, with rest and reconnection seen as essential.Time Perception Can Be Mentally Manipulated* Groundbreaking research discussed in the episode reveals that imagining movement, such as running, can alter our perception of time, making it seem to pass faster. This has potential applications for enhancing productivity, reducing perceived pain, and treating mental health conditions such as depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia.Attention Management and Time Awareness Drive Well-being* Dr. Mishra urges listeners to treat time as a non-renewable asset and manage attention deliberately. Strategies like spending 1,000 seconds reflecting on time use, avoiding multitasking, and creating a “to-done” list are suggested. Scientific studies cited show that effective time management is strongly linked to mental well-being, life satisfaction, and reduced stress—often more than performance gains.Coffee Combats Aging Podcast || Vitality Optimization Course Waitlist This is a public episode.

Yabba dabba doo, Garfarinos, today's epi- Nope. This week, Guy and Cat talk about Returning to LARP, invent a new category for strongman competitions, and discuss what karate can teach you with regards to understanding yourself and your response to the world around you. There's also a comic about a cat, but it's not much tbh. October 05, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/05
Sharing yourself on your podcast is the way to build relationships with your audience. However, you need to be careful what you share. SHARE YOURSELF AUTHENTICALLY We have group calls twice a month inside the Podcast Profits Accelerator. This is where a group of podcasters are growing the audience and business. You can see details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/accelerator. On a call the other night, one of the members asked what they should share and how much. What you share on your podcast needs to be strategic. It should reinforce your brand. What you share should build relationships. DESI SAW US AS FRIENDS When I was on the radio, it was my goal to get my listeners to see me as their friend. They would take me with them everywhere they went by listening to me on the radio. I was on the local Top 40 radio station and had a girl who would call me often. She had a severe developmental disability. It affected her speech which made her difficult to understand. When I couldn't understand what she was saying, it would make it ridiculous to make her laugh. She may be asking it I could play 'Nsync. I would say, "Did I lick the kitchen sink?" Desi would laugh and laugh that I couldn't get it right. We would break it down by word until I finally got it. Some days were better than others. She was in a wheelchair. Her assistant at the home where she lived would sometimes bring Desi to see me at remote broadcasts when she was up to it. I would give Desi some of the t-shirts and prizes we were giving away and have a little fun. SHE FOLLOWED ME I then moved to the country station in town. Desi moved with me and would continue to call. However, her call were becoming less frequent. Her health was starting to decline. We still talked and laughed. She had new songs to request, and I still got it wrong. Then one day Desi's assistant called to tell me Desi was moving to a new facility and wanted me to know. She gave me Desi's new address so I could write her which I did. Just a quick note to tell her I hoped she was doing well. That was the last time I heard from Desi. Her calls stopped after that. I just hope I added a little smile to her day every once in awhile. That's what can happen when you share yourself with your listener. DON'T SHARE TOO MUCH On the other hand, it can be dangerous when you share too much. Don't share you address or the school of your small children. You don't want to share when you are going on vacation and won't be home. Avoid sharing anything that could make you vulnerable. Most people in the world are nice. They have no ill will against you. However, some are crazy and evil. There are people who may not like what you say or think you are better friends than you really are. You don't want to live in fear. But you also don't want to leave yourself exposed. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SHARE MY BABY It happened to me when we were having our first child. I was working at the Top 40 station at the time. My wife and I were expecting our first baby. She went into the hospital on a Friday morning to deliver our little girl. This wasn't something I share much about on the radio. I did mention a few times we were expecting. That Friday I wasn't on the air. Our little girl came into the world with little complication. She was beautiful. Saturday morning we woke up and were discussion our departure from the hospital. My wife was still in bed with our daughter. We were waiting for the doctor to come by the room. Around lunch, a visitor appeared at the door. It was a high school girl who listened to the station and called often. She had brought a gift for the baby. It was quite awkward. We chatted politely for a few minutes. Then I stood up to thank her for coming and politely escorted her back to the elevator. Trouble was averted. But it was a little crazy that she even knew where we were. 2 LADIES TALKING SEX It can happen to you if you are diligent about what you share. Sometimes that includes protecting your identity depending on your content. One year a Podcast Movement, Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting and I were standing in the lobby of the hotel deciding which panel to attend next. That's when two twenty-something ladies approached us. They had recognized us and had questions about their podcast. The two proceeded to tell us they hosted a very popular podcast about sex. They both used different names on the podcast. Aliases. The podcast was becoming very popular. Their brand was growing. Now these young ladies wanted to know if they should start using their real names to build their personal brands or continue using the aliases. Dave and I both suggested they continue to use the aliases. The content of their show could potentially attract the wrong people to be superfans. They surely didn't want a dangerous individual showing up unexpectedly that could do them harm. Use good judgement. SHARE YOUR BRAND So, what do you share and how much? Begin by writing your origin story. How did you develop your superpower? When did you discover you have the ability to do what you do? Write all of it. Then, find the pieces of that origin story that support your brand and your foundational principles. Demonstrate what you stand for and what you stand against. Drip pieces of your origin story into your content episode after episode. People will get to know you over time. And more importantly, get to know your brand. I share many of things I've encountered over my 35 years in radio and dozen years in podcasting. We talk about the people I've met and the challenges I've encountered. You know I love hockey and live in the Midwest. We talk about my passion about adding more relationships to the world, because I see my kids lacking powerful relationships due to technology. On the other hand, I'm not telling you my address or where my wife works. I didn't tell you I was spending a week in Colorado skiing in January before I went there. It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't need someone showing up at my hotel room or worse yet, showing up at my house while I'm not home. Use common sense about what you share. Share your beliefs and values. Share stories that support those beliefs. Don't share personal information that could put you in danger. Share to build the brand and attract your ideal clients. If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals.

Hello to you listening in Houston, Texas!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga While I am not a constituent of the 77-year old Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas, I am certainly a Fan Girl! The point isn't whether you agree or not with his intentional decision to tell "47" that he does not have a mandate to take a wrecking ball to Medicaid in an effort to save dollars for his millionaire and billionaire buddies. As if a million or a billion wasn't enough money for any one person. Silly me. It's not about money. It's about rapacious greed. But I digress.Congressman Green stood up, said his peace, walked out of the chamber with dignity, spoke to reporters about what moved him to speak up for healthcare for the poor in his district and then took his medicine when the House of Representatives censured him. Shame on you! Those among you have behaved in a rude and offensive manner in the chamber and yet was considered proper behavior. Shame on you.CTA: Know what you stand for and what you won't stand for. Wear your values like you wear your sport team's ball cap. Say what you mean and mean what you say in a clear, concise, and confident manner. And when someone models bravery, decency, morality, compassion and more, tell them that they have motivated you to act with bravery, decency, morality, compassion, and more."Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."

I've recently had multiple conversations with women leaders who have expressed their desire to intentionally build part of their leadership legacy around supporting emerging leaders. Of course, this makes my heart sing. As someone who has benefited from the guidance of women who came before me, I know firsthand how impactful it can be when just one person shows they believe in you. In this episode, I explore how women leaders can effectively support and nurture emerging leaders within their organizations. I discuss the importance of modeling authentic leadership behaviors and providing strategic support that empowers the next generation of women in leadership. Through practical guidance and actionable strategies, leaders will learn how to create environments where emerging talent can flourish and reach their full potential. Modeling Leadership Behaviors That Matter Authentic leadership begins with vulnerability and transparency. By normalizing failure and making it safe, you create a culture where innovation thrives and emerging leaders feel empowered to take calculated risks. Modeling imperfection reinforces that leadership isn't about being flawless—it's about how you respond to challenges and learn from mistakes. When you openly pursue growth, you demonstrate that learning is a lifelong process. This transparency dismantles the intimidating facade of leadership and encourages emerging leaders to embrace their own development journey with confidence. Strategic Support That Empowers Growth Supporting emerging leaders requires intentional investment in their future. Start by having meaningful conversations about their aspirations and where they see themselves in five to ten years. Demonstrate your commitment by investing in their development through both free resources and high-value opportunities, such as professional development conferences and coaching. Regularly communicate the strengths you see in them that should shine more brightly, as well as the areas where they have room to grow. These conversations, combined with your explicit belief in their potential, create a strong foundation for their development. Recognition is also a crucial element of support. Acknowledge their successes and check in when something seems off. Show them that you genuinely care. Creating a Legacy Through Leadership Development The most significant impact of your leadership may not be what you personally achieve, but who you develop along the way. By intentionally cultivating emerging leaders, you create a lasting legacy that extends far beyond your immediate sphere of influence. When women leaders commit to supporting other women, they help break down systemic barriers and open new pathways to leadership for women and other marginalized groups. This ripple effect transforms not only individual careers but also entire organizational cultures. Your investment in emerging leaders today shapes the inclusive leadership landscape of tomorrow, ensuring that diverse perspectives continue to drive innovation and success at every level.

Notes: Trust is being comfortable with uncertainty. Capability and Character - Assholes are capable people with low character. Demonstrate the ability to take risks. Confidence in the unknown. Healthy challenge and push mentality. Trust willing – Lead with Trust. Make the trust wager. What's the best way to earn someone's trust? LEAD with trust. Trust them first. This also creates a highly attractive company or team. Don't you want to attract highly trusting, capable people? The best way to do that is to lead with trust. Be more trust willing. Lead with Trust. Jim Collins story. Make the trust wager. You don't have to earn it, you got it. Willingness to be a beginner. Be curious. Look stupid at first. Those are good qualities in a leader. For keynote speaking: Share your expertise, but don't seek approval Share your stories, but don't look for validation Share your passion, but don't perform for the applause Don't sell from the stage. Don't show your book. Don't give your resume. Honor the present. If you're running a meeting, start it on time. Honor the people who showed up on time. Leaders who are overscheduled… It's usually their fault and it comes from ego. If you've hired a capable team, then you don't have to be in every meeting. Also, if you're always late, you aren't reliable. And that becomes part of your reputation. That's not something we want to be known for. How can people trust you if you're always late? They won't.
