Executive Branding: It's More than a Logo Build Your Leadership Brand from the Inside Out Episode 253 (Lesley is based in Monterey, California) ---- In this conversation, we explore… …why executive branding goes far beyond personal image or a logo. …how to define what you want to be known for—and why that matters. …why an integrated branding approach across a team amplifies leadership impact. …the internal journey of discovering your authentic self as a leader. …how mindset shifts influence executive presence and performance. …strategies for embracing positive feedback and building inner confidence. …how reframing “weaknesses” as overplayed strengths can reshape self-perception. …how to align your personal brand with corporate values without losing authenticity. …the importance of curiosity, clarity, and critical questioning in communication. …how to establish your leadership brand when stepping into a new role. ----- About our guest Lesley Everett: Lesley is an Executive Branding Specialist. She is the author of three books. She was president of the Global Speakers Federation in 2014. She is the first female speaker to be awarded the UK Speaker Hall of Fame. She has appeared on TV as a guest and host on BBC News, Sky News, CNBC, Fox News and Bloomberg. Learn more about Lesley and her programs at https://lesleyeverett.com/ ----- Key Learning Points Integrated executive branding includes both the individual and their team for meaningful impact. Personal branding is not about a logo, but about what you're known for and how people describe you. Executive presence must be built on authenticity, visibility, and clarity—not surface polish. Many leaders lack awareness of their true identity and core strengths, often due to imposter syndrome. Mindset change drives behavior and action—but starts with understanding one's purpose. Leaders should learn to accept and internalize positive feedback instead of dismissing it. So-called “weaknesses” are often overplayed strengths—a reframing that boosts confidence. Leaders must be able to sum up their brand in a few authentic, outcome-focused words. The personal and corporate brand can coexist—alignment comes from interpreting company values personally. Sustainable growth requires continuous reflection and action—branding is an evolving journey. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self.

Welcome to the Connected Leadership podcast, hosted by Andy Lopata. In this episode, Andy welcomes Antoinette Dale Henderson, an expert in leadership communications and author of "Leading with Gravitas." Antoinette is an executive coach and global keynote speaker with over 25 years' experience in leadership communications. She specializes in strategically-driven, results-oriented masterclasses that make a powerful difference to executives, boards, and top teams in the UK and internationally. She's a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association and the Global Speakers Federation and is the outgoing Chair of the Board of Trustees for BelEve, a charity that inspires and empowers girls aged 8 to 18 to become leaders of their world. In today's fast-paced and dynamic business world, effective leadership requires more than just authority and expertise. It demands authenticity, connection, and a commanding presence that inspires trust and respect. Andy and Antoinette discuss the intricacies of leadership gravitas. Gravitas is a term often associated with seriousness and weightiness, but as Andy and Antoinette explored, it's much more nuanced than that. At its core, gravitas is about the ability to command respect, get taken seriously, and have your voice heard—all while staying true to your authentic self. It's not about putting on a facade or trying to be someone you're not. Instead, it's about finding the balance between projecting confidence and staying grounded in who you are. One of the central themes of the discussion was the concept of managed authenticity. In today's diverse and inclusive workplaces, leaders must be able to flex and adapt their behavior while remaining true to their core values and beliefs. This means being able to read the room, adjust your approach accordingly, and authentically connect with those around you. Humor also emerged as a key element of gravitas. Contrary to popular belief, humor can be a powerful tool for building connection and rapport with others, as long as it's used appropriately and in context. By incorporating humor into your leadership style, you can break down barriers, foster camaraderie, and create a more positive and engaging work environment. Additionally, Andy and Antoinette discussed the gender implications of gravitas and the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone feels empowered to express their authentic selves. In today's rapidly evolving workplace landscape, diversity of thought and perspective is more important than ever, and leaders must actively work to create spaces where all voices are heard and valued. Ultimately, mastering gravitas is a journey—one that requires self-awareness, humility, and a commitment to continuous growth and development. By embracing authenticity, connecting with others on a deeper level, and cultivating a sense of gravitas, we can all become more effective and inspiring leaders in our respective fields Listen to the full episode of the Connected Leadership podcast to dive deeper into the topic of gravitas and explore actionable strategies for enhancing your leadership presence. Together, let's unlock the power of gravitas and lead with authenticity and impact.

About Steve Lowell: Steve Lowell is the 20-2021 President of the Global Speakers Federation. He's been on the live stage for over 50 years, is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and a multi-award-winning professional speaker.  Steve speaks to entrepreneurs and shows them how to establish a reputation as the unmistakable authority in their field by changing how they present and sell their expertise. As a main stage speaker at your event, Steve will keep your entire audience captivated, engaged, and entertained. If your audiences are entrepreneurs, business owners, thought leaders, experts, or innovators, Steve will shake their beliefs, disrupt their perspectives, and inspire them to become more than they ever thought they could be.  Steve's content is educational, transformative, and interactive. But most of all, you'll find Steve to be extremely easy to work with! He rarely uses slides and he always delivers. Steve is an informational keynote speaker. His content is targeted at experts who need a simple method to present, explain, and sell their complex solutions through the spoken word. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Steve. In this episode, Nancy and Steve discuss the following:The art of speaking to sell without selling.Steve's tips on how to become a transformational speaker.The best way of making money through speaking.Why would so many people struggle to monetize when they speak?Sharing information with the audience that will make it buy your product.Introverts are the best public speakers.The myths that entrepreneurs believe prevent them from making money when they speak. Key Takeaways:  The reason why so many people struggle is because we're under this misconception that when we get in front of an audience, our job is to solve their problem.What people are looking for from a speaker is not a solution; they're looking for clarity.Instead of going to an audience and saying: “Here's the solution to your problem,” go to the audience who says: “Here is why the problem exists and why you need me.”As an introvert, I'd much rather be in front of an audience where I'm comfortable than at a party of 10 or 12 where I am less comfortable.I believe the audience needs to feel like they are understood. “So, on that side of the business, speak to sell is where you get in front of an audience of targeted prospects, and you speak a certain way, and then they come up and hire you or buy your stuff from you. And the key there is for most people is that most people hate to sell. Most people really don't like standing in front of an audience or even in front of a prospect and feel like a salesperson. So, when I say without selling, it means that there are techniques that one can use to generate business through the spoken word without feeling like you must have a shower afterward." – STEVE"We have this message that people need to hear, but having the message isn't enough. It needs to be packaged in a way that people can receive the message openly and be able to apply it to their own lives. And so there are certain characteristics that I teach people to build into their message so that the audience can be open to receiving the message and to be able to receive it in a way that is relevant to them so that they can go forth and make change." – STEVE "And it's difficult to break into that area. There are high barriers of entry, but anybody can learn to get in front of an audience, whether it's live or virtual, and sell their products and services and make far more in a single presentation than they could ever make being paid by an association or a corporation. So, this is the way my wife and I do it. And you can, and I say you as a general you, pretty much anybody who puts a little bit of effort and thought into it can get in front of an audience and sell their products and services and generate enormous amounts of business through speaking if they know how to do it well. And that's what we focus on, is teaching people how to do that. So that's really the best way to make money speaking." – STEVE Connect with Steve Lowell:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevelowell/Personal Website: https://stevelowell.com/ Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website: https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

Are you ready to better engage your workplace team? What are the benefits of better engagement in the workplace? Episode 142 (Paul is based in the Netherlands) How workplace engagement contributes to profitability Why core values and non-negotiables become more relevant Why leaders need to become better listeners How the pandemic and younger generations are reshaping the workplace Why people need a direction and purpose What's more important than money Why alignment is critical and how to create it. About Paul ter Wal: Paul says that core values are non-negotiable for Gen Y & Z. Paul was President of the Global Speakers Federation in 2019-2020 and learned how to create stronger belonging via the internet. Take the employee engagement survey - no charge https://team-andare.com/employee-engagement-survey  See how you think your team is doing. https://www.youtube.com/user/paulterwal ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Paul ter Wal   You know your own core values, know your own non negotiables? Who are you? What are you standing for, then be sure that you are aligned with the core values, the mission and vision of the organization. Because that's the base. Walk your talk. If you can't walk the talk of the organization, you can't be a good leader. ----- The advantages of having engaged employees are very important for profitability. So it's no longer Well, if you don't like it anymore, go away, we will find somebody else. Now the employer has to work on engagement to get the retention. ----- Simon Sinek and Aristotle told us a long time ago that you need to find your why. And I think younger people are much more aware of the question. Why am I doing what I'm doing? Is that what really gets me fun? So yeah, it's it's not that they don't like the money. But it was for a long time, the absolute number one, work hard, be successful be ribs. Now it is seeking purpose, work hard, and maybe you will be successful. So what we teach older employees and older people thought after fighting wars, that we said, well, we need well being we need more money, we want to have more material. They have it all. They have a car, they're have a house. So then the only stuff is not in material is not a money. It's more in why am I doing this? What is what is my purpose in life. And I think that change too, because we became less religious, less connected to Protestant, Roman, Catholic, Anglican, communist socialist, we add those core values that were put upon us, by others in church or whatever, that's gone, especially in Europe. It's gone. You need to find your own why. And I think that's one of the reasons that a lot of younger people have mental issues as well. They are looking for, why am I doing what I'm doing? What is my purpose in life? Why am I here? And normally, the priest or the vicar will tell you why you were here. I think over the years spotted the genius at still now that changed. And that's what I see. I'm becoming much more aware of it. That suddenly we want to know what our core values as negotiables are. And then it's Our individual core values. And that is connecting to your why. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in executive communication skills. That includes conversation and presentation.

Demonstrate a unique understanding of your market You don't have to be different from everyone who offers what you do. You simply need to appear to be different.

If you are a non-fiction author and ready to leverage the power of your book, watch this eye-opening webinar "You're an Author... Now What?" (no charge) WebinarforAuthors.com ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Steve Lowell  02:30 So it's a big process, I call it deep thought strategy. And we kind of look at it from this angle. The objective is to demonstrate a unique understanding of your market or prospects or audience's world from a perspective they have never considered before. So the process starts with exploring not your solution. And not all the great things that you've created, but exploring the market and trying to find an angle that the market has not considered before. And then what we do is we take the complex idea or solution and we break it down into its most basic components, and craft a very simple straightforward message that doesn't present another solution as much as it presents another problem. So it's sort of the objective is to bring their awareness to a problem they never even knew they had, I'm talking about the audience or the prospect of the market. And the desired outcome of this whole process is to get the market or the audience to kind of do this, you want them to go, Hmm, I've never thought of it like that before. And that's the desired outcome that we work towards. ----- 20:49 The question is, "What is my unique understanding of your condition? From a perspective you have never considered before? How am I going to demonstrate that I know your condition better than you know your condition?" You see, if I'm trying to sell you my complex idea, the worst thing I can do is try and sell you my complex idea. What I need to do is I need to open your perspective, so that you understand that you need my complex idea. I need you to tell me that you need my complex idea. If I sit here and try and convince you that you need my complex idea. I'm just another sales guy. And I look like everybody else. So the question we work towards is, how am I going to demonstrate to you as my prospect? How am I going to demonstrate to you a unique understanding of your condition, from a perspective you have never considered before. I want you to be able to go, I've never heard it like this before. No wonder I can't do that. No wonder I can't reach this outcome. And only until we achieve that, at that point, then my solution becomes relevant to you. Up until that point, it doesn't, it's not even relevant. It's just you know, another checkmark on the shopping list and all of the different people you've seen in your life. So that's it. That's a tough mindset shift to make sometimes. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Our brain is such a fascinating part of our body that everyone has it, but not everyone uses it effectively. There are so many myths about the brain, and they are wildly used as a part of communication. Which not only spreads misinformation but also challenges our credibility while communicating.To bust some of those myths and understand better communication mechanisms, I have Dr. John Molidor on the show this week. We talk about:The 10% utilization, neuroplasticity, and left-brain-right-brain a myth?Do we really by emotionally and justify logically?How should we communicate our ideas in the right way?How long does it take to form a habit?Why is physical note-taking so important?The 10,000-hour rule myth.How long does it take to make a first impression?Several stages in communicating your message effectively.The thing about odd numbers and your messaging when communicating.How should you end your speech?Dr. John B. Molidor, CSP, comes to us from the United States at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Education and Research. Dr. John has a long-standing interest in the brain and how people use (and don't use), especially focusing on leaders, educators, and speakers! He is the current President of the Global Speakers Federation and a Past President of the National Speakers Association (US). He loves applying neuroscience principles to communicate more effectively ... as well as busting speaking myths (or as he says, "Things presenters/speakers say, sometimes, without even thinking ... when they should be using their brains!"He has authored the book Crazy Good Interviewing: How Acting A Little Crazy Can Get You The Job (published by Wiley and Sons) and available on Amazon.About the Podcast:ICT Podcast all about innovation, communication, and technology – a few key areas that are super important in today's world. If you want to know what it takes to be a better innovator, better communicator, and leverage technology to make this world a better place, please subscribe.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” - C.S. LewisThis week's guest on the Rocking Midlife® Podcast is a fabulous lady that I met through the New Zealand Professional Speakers Association a few years ago, and her story is truly inspiring.Robyn Pearce is a CSP which means she is a Certified Speaking Professional, a certification that only about 6% of the speakers who belong to the world-wide Global Speakers Federation hold. In fact, Robyn was the very first CSP in New Zealand, held the position of NZ President in 2002-3, then went on to hold the position of President of the Global Speakers Federation in 2006-7. New Zealand is known for trail blazing women in leadership and Robyn has certainly been a trail blazer for women the professional speaking industry.What I love about Robyn's story however, is that like me, she is someone who has reinvented herself many times over the years. She actually lists 7 careers that she has held - some of which is juggled while a single mother with a large brood. She has been a librarian; raised six kids on a farm, one of them a foster son with intellectual disabilities; held various jobs while on the DPB, (Domestic Purposes Benefit); been a successful real estate salesperson; worked in network marketing; launched a speaking and training business, (Robyn is known as New Zealand's time management queen due to her books, workplace training and keynote topics around this subject) and now she is a historical fiction author, with a little bit of speaking and training on the side.I should also add that this vibrant woman - who has only started writing fiction over the past 2 years - is 72 and has the energy and vitality of someone half her age. alk about a fabulous role model!Robyn's 3 take-aways for listeners are these:*Never be afraid to try something new.*Resistance can be a wonderful motivator.*You're never too old to try something new.Interested in Time Management?

Er ist einer meiner Lieblingspräsidenten. Bis Ende 2020 war Paul ter Wal nicht nur für ein Land verantwortlich – nein – er vertrat die ganze Welt, nämlich die Welt der Speaker. In der Global Speakers Federation GSF sind die bekanntesten und bedeutsamsten professionellen Redner der ganzen Welt vereint. Im Februar 2020 trafen wir uns noch persönlich zu einem internationalen Rednergipfel in Namibia, kurz vor der globalen Pandemie. Seitdem sind die Bühnen und Zuschauerränge leergefegt. Wir sprechen darüber, wie dramatisch sich die Welt der Speaker geändert hat und wie flexibel wir darauf reagieren müssen. Wir diskutieren, welche Verantwortung wir Redner gerade jetzt wahrnehmen müssen, um Menschen Mut zu machen, zu inspirieren und neue Ideen in die Welt zu bringen.

In this episode of the VN² PowerUp Podcast we tackle the all important topic of leadership. Most of you already know this, but building a successful business will take great leadership.  Sometimes that can be a lonely place; especially when you are going against the grain of the status quo (like the VN² strategy). So we invited an expert in the field of leadership to join the discussion—Ted Ma, who also built a very large network marketing organization prior to launching a very successful speaking business. These days, Ted is an award-winning speaker that helps companies develop leaders, increase production and reduce turnover. ​He has spoken for audiences as large as 10,000 and has shared the stage with Mel Robbins, John Maxwell, and Jack Canfield. Unlike many leadership experts, Ted has been leading teams and developing leaders for over 16 years. His unique perspective on leadership comes from his experience building an international team of thousands upon thousands of independent distributors, reaching the top 1% in that company. His success in the field led to him co-creating a training program used by over 100,000 sales associates.​ Ted was named one of Databird Research Journal's top 100 Keynote Speakers for 2019 and has been featured in numerous publications including Kiplinger, CNBC, Inc, and the New York Times. He is a member of the National Speakers Association, Global Speakers Federation, and Toastmasters International. Listen as Rocco & Jodi pick Ted’s brain on some of the difficulties that come along with change. We also spend some time on how good leaders can separate their brand from their ego (that is a big one for social media!).

This episode's guest is Tom Dowd who is an expert in the area of public speaking.  Tom is an active member in Toastmasters International, a group of 300,000 members worldwide looking to develop communication and leadership skills. Tom joined in 2008 thinking it was just a way to boost his résumé. It became a wonderful downhill spiral of failure. Whether it was a speech contest or a publisher's rejection, Toastmasters pushed him beyond his comfort zone to find self-awareness, belief that he could make a difference and the motivation to take smarter steps toward success both personally and professionally. What Tom found was a boost in confidence that changed the path of his life and career. In 2010-2011, he was awarded the District 45 Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year representing over 100 clubs in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and the three eastern most provinces of Canada. Now exhibiting consistent speech contest success, Tom is the two-time Table Topics District 45 champion for 2012 and 2013. Additionally, he is a member of the National Speakers Association and the Global Speakers Federation. Tom Dowd, AKA Transformation Tom™, is a loving father of three beautiful daughters and a devoted husband from a small town in Maine. He is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Communication degree, concentrating on interpersonal and organizational communication. Tom is a prize-winning speaker, an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author, trainer, coach, and radio host—all spurred by his need to be more than a painfully shy and introverted individual on a rollercoaster ride of success.
