Michelle Tillis Lederman is a people expert who inspires organizations and individuals to build real relationships and get real results. We live in a network economy – – it’s all about who you know, who knows you, and what they know about you. But in this remote working, socially distant period in time, connecting has taken on new challenges. She would be the first to say she is "a recovering CPA," and now is the CEO & Founder of Executive Essentials. And she has written several books. We focus on one in particular, The Connector’s Advantage. Connectors think and act a certain way that makes things happen faster, easier, and often with a better result. In the book, and in this is episode, we cover the 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact.  We go in depth on #3, The Abundant Mindset. She talks about some great key points about why its important to keep this mindset, including, stop comparing yourself to others envy and jealousy are normal, and don't let it take over feel grateful, practice gratitude   This is THE podcast that advances women toward economic, social and political achievement. Hosted by Betty Collins, CPA, and Director at Brady Ware and Company. Betty also serves as the Committee Chair for Empowering Women, and Director of the Brady Ware Women Initiative.

Michelle Tillis Lederman has written four books and with each one she's discovered that a personalized approach to PR and marketing brings the most success.  This makes perfect sense. Michelle is the author of The Connector's Advantage and The 11 Laws of Likability.  She's a connector at heart.   Michelle is one of Forbes Top 25 Networking Experts, and CEO of Executive Essentials, which provides customized communications and leadership programs for Fortune 500, non-profit, university and government clients. A former finance executive and NYU professor, Michelle is a regular in the media appearing on NBC, CBS, Fox, NPR, the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, CNBC, and others. Michelle is known for helping people work better together and advance their individual impact.  The Connector Mindset Brings Results!   Michelle is often asked how she's built her business. She says The Connector's Advantage answers the question. “This is how I build my business, with these philosophies.   “I realized that it's just a way of being if we can embody mindsets, and I talk about the seven mindsets, and the connector's advantage of having them.” (Listen to the episode to uncover the seven mindsets).  She adds: “If we can embody those (mindsets), that's when you achieve the connector's advantage of faster, easier, better results!  When she's asked about the difference between networking and connecting, Michelle says: “Networking is something you do, but a connector is who you are. And that's how my work grew. And that actually became the last line of my book. Because it was like: ‘Oh, this is what I want people to get. Don't do something, be someone'.”  Self-Publishing Gives More Control   Of her four books, Michelle has only used a traditional publisher with the first one, and she says the experience wasn't great, mostly because she didn't have any kind of voice in the process. The publisher sold the audio rights and a man recorded the audio book, while the first cover presented wasn't something Michelle liked.  For the Connector's Advantage, Michelle worked with a hybrid publisher and describes them as “fabulous”. She was fully involved in the process and had a voice every step of the way. She also says that the financial model is better for authors.  “Where traditionally you get the advance up front, you get very little on the back end,” she explains. “Well, The 11 Laws Of Likability has sold every week for over a decade. Tens of 1000s of copies, and I get $1 a book, you know, maybe $1.50. And it costs me $10 to buy a copy. So even when I sell them direct, I'm not making that much.”  In contrast, Michelle can buy The Connector's Advantage at cost which makes it much more affordable to gift copies.   The Connector's Book Launch   With The Connector's Advantage Michelle took more  of a podcast approach to the launch, as opposed to a full book launch.  “I've been on hundreds of podcasts. So I just went back to all the podcasts and said: ‘Hey, launch coming. You want me back on?' And I was recording for months with them, releasing it around the launch date.”  Michelle also ensures her launches have a personal touch. She explains: “If I've had a conversation with you, I try to personalize the inscription in the book that I sign. Now, when you're doing a line of 200 people, you can't do that. But when I had 20 or 30 people, I would try to do that. It became this whole group conversation. And people felt connected and people would stay at my table. I really live the work.”   LINKS  Twitter  Facebook  LinkedIn  Youtube  Instagram  MichelleTillisLederman.com  Michelle's Quiz: What's Your Networking Style?  Book Bonuses  SUBSCRIBE TO THE PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Michelle Tillis Lederman, CEO and Founder of Executive Essentials, is a Communications and Likeability expert. Formerly managing business loan allocations, Michelle realized that most business owners don’t understand the value of likeability, and wanted to explain how they could leverage their relationships to help business growth instead. This led her to start Executive Essentials, where she creates custom programs, uniquely tailored to each business, geared to aid in growth. Michelle has seen firsthand the value of likeability and how it directly correlates to the bottom line. In her interview, Michelle explains why likeability and cultivating meaningful relationships are so valuable. People will pay a premium to do business with someone they like, over cheaper or better services. She highlights the importance of authenticity, and the notion that everything you do in business must be from an authentic place. In addition to sharing a few laws of likeability, Michelle also offers some tips on asking better questions that lead to more fruitful responses. Being liked and being respected are not mutually exclusive, Michelle’s information will help you achieve both and drive up business growth.

Michelle Tillis Lederman is the CEO of Executive Essentials and bestselling author of The 11 Laws of Likability: Relationship Networking. Because People Do Business with People They Like and the new book The Connector’s Advantage: 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact. She has worked with clients ranging from government to academia to non-profit to Fortune 500 companies, including Madison Square Garden, Citi, Johnson & Johnson, Ernst & Young, Michigan State University, Sony, and The Department of Environmental Protection. She has been featured on CBS and MSNBC, and in the NY Times, Forbes and Working Mother magazine.   Podcast Highlights   Who is Michelle Tillis Lederman? Michelle describes herself as a petite powerhouse. She grew up as a have-not, not that she was poor but her family knew what it was it like to struggle on the lower end of the financial spectrum. All she dreamed about as a child was financial security which directly influenced her choices later in life.   Michelle originally started out as an accountant because she was good with numbers and thought that would fulfill her desire for financial security. It didn’t work out very well so she explored other similar positions looking for the right fit and purpose. After finding herself as the only woman on a global venture capital team, she realized that communication in that industry was terrible. She began to explore the idea of effective communication and one of the first trainings she ever taught was how to give effective feedback.   You need to recognize in yourself what you really want to do and believe that you can do it. You have to own it and then go make it happen. Michelle wasn’t necessarily seeking her current career but she was open to learning more. Be open to those moments wherever you are.   You have to design your ideal. If you’re questioning whether or not someone will pay you for something you are considering offering, ask yourself why they need it and how can you tie it to their bottom line. Providing Effective Feedback   You cannot make anybody like you. Once you accept that, you can enable them to see what is likable about you. It’s not about who you are in isolation, but who you are in relation to who you are trying to connect with. When you have information to give to somebody that they might not take well, you should start the conversation with “Are you open to…” By saying yes, they put themselves into a position to open themselves up for the information that’s coming, even if the feedback is negative. Connecting, Influence, and Mindset There is an advantage to being a better connector, it makes things faster, easier, better. If you’re trying to grow your business, you’re going to do it better if you’re a connector. That means connecting with other people and helping other connect as well. There are seven mindsets of a connector: open and accepting, they have a clear vision, believe in abundance, they trust, they are social and curious, they are conscientious, and they have a generous spirit. The mindset of abundance may be one of the most difficult of mindsets. Reputational and competitive risk is always something to overcome because they come from a mindset of scarcity, which is very common for most people in society. Having a clear vision is another common challenge for many people. How can you make something faster, easier, or better without knowing what that looks like? When you ask for something, you don’t want the possibility of someone saying no putting the relationship at risk. You have to trust that what you give will eventually come back and that the spirit of generosity is in the other person. Connectors follow up and follow through, so they don’

Networking is just gross. Let's be honest, no one likes the chamber of commerce, sticky name tag, finger food, "networking" period of any event.

I didn't believe it, but there is a realistic way to build connections, connect to others and not feel like a filthy business person.
