In today's hypercompetitive business landscape, reputation management is your most valuable career asset to develop. As Sabrina Braham, founder of Women's Leadership Success, powerfully states: "Your reputation is constantly changing and evolving, and if you are not managing it, somebody else is." Sabrina Braham MA MFT PCC - Executive Brand Building Expert For female managers, directors, VPs, C-suite executives, and founders, strategic reputation management isn't optional—it's essential for breaking through the barriers that still exist in corporate leadership. Why Your Leadership Reputation Makes or Breaks Your Career Recent studies show that women leaders who actively manage their professional reputations are: 2.3x more likely to be considered for promotion over equally qualified peers 68% more resilient during organizational restructuring and layoffs 4x more likely to be recruited for prestigious positions and board seats As one executive discovered after implementing Braham's reputation management strategies: "I went from being consistently overlooked to being elected to the VP position I'd been seeking for years." The Reputation Management Trap Most Women Leaders Fall Into Many accomplished women make the same critical mistake: they assume excellent work speaks for itself. Unfortunately, research shows this approach leaves your professional narrative in others' hands. The 3 Most Damaging Reputation Pitfalls: Allowing outdated perceptions to persist Failing to strategically communicate your value Missing opportunities to showcase thought leadership These gaps don't just slow career progression—they can derail it entirely, especially during critical transition points. Strategic Reputation Management: The Leadership Brand Blueprint Approach The Leadership Brand Accelerator Blueprint offers a revolutionary approach to reputation management specifically designed for women leaders. This proven system has helped executives at companies like Google, Daimler, and dozens of Fortune 500 organizations transform their professional trajectories. Transformative Benefits of the Blueprint System: Perception Alignment Eliminate the gap between your capabilities and how decision-makers perceive you. One leader using the system discovered her meeting presence was rated only a "5" when she thought she was performing at a "7" or "8" level—feedback that led to specific improvements and a subsequent promotion. Reputation Resilience Build a reputation strong enough to withstand organizational changes, industry disruption, and career transitions. Leaders using the Blueprint reported 43% greater confidence during challenging periods and received stronger support from key stakeholders. Strategic Visibility Create powerful visibility without self-promotion discomfort. The Blueprint's targeted approach ensures your contributions are recognized by the right people at the right time, using techniques that feel authentic and aligned with your values. Amplified Influence Develop your thought leadership platform both inside and outside your organization. Blueprint users report a 75% increase in being consulted for strategic decisions and a 56% growth in professional network quality. Career Acceleration Most importantly, the Blueprint dramatically shortens the timeline to your next leadership level. While the average executive waits 4.2 years between promotions, Blueprint users report advancing in just 18-24 months. The Quarterly Reputation Audit: Your Leadership Advantage At the core of the Blueprint is a systematic quarterly audit that ensures you're consistently evaluating and refining how you're perceived. Unlike annual reviews or sporadic feedback, this structured approach creates continuous improvement and prevents reputation drift.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. In today's episode, we are joined by Hilary Mayer, Director of Client Strategy and Growth at Inprela Communications, to explore the intricate world of thought leadership in health marketing. Thought leadership is a cornerstone for many health brands aiming to rise above the noise in a crowded market, and Hilary is here to share her insights on building effective narratives that truly connect. With extensive experience working with leading names in healthcare, Hilary has developed impactful thought leadership platforms. Our discussion dives into common misconceptions about thought leadership, the importance of having a cohesive strategic message, and the tangible benefits of building a narrative that offers real value to audiences. Hilary discusses the common pitfalls brands face, such as lacking a documented thought leadership narrative and leaning too heavily on inward-focused messaging. She emphasizes the need for marketing teams to center their narratives around audience pain points rather than product features. We also delve into how brands can achieve internal alignment and maintain consistent messaging across channels to build trust and credibility. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it. Key Takeaways: Strategically Anchored Messaging: Hilary Mayer highlights the importance of anchoring thought leadership efforts to a compelling and cohesive strategic message. Without this anchor, brands might end up spending resources on activities that don't yield meaningful opportunities or results. Audience-Centric Narrative: Successful thought leadership isn't about boasting company achievements or products. Instead, it's about addressing audience pain points and providing solutions within the larger industry context. This audience-focused approach helps in resonating with the market and building trust. Visibility and Value: A strong thought leadership narrative not only enhances brand visibility but also adds significant value by speaking directly to the audience's needs. This approach can lead to increased media opportunities and influence decision-makers considering your product offerings. Internal Alignment for Consistency: Building a thought leadership narrative fosters internal alignment, ensuring that all customer-facing teams communicate a unified message. This consistency across all touchpoints helps in establishing and maintaining trust with audiences. Adapting to Industry Dynamics: Thought leadership is not a static field. Brands need to continuously evolve their narratives to stay relevant, ensuring they adapt their messaging to resonate with current industry trends and conversations while staying true to their core problem-solution proposition.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Chris Roebuck, a leadership expert with over 30 years of experience. In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest problems many small business owners face: too much work and not enough time. Chris shares his simple yet powerful four-step system to help leaders become more effective and accelerate their success. We'll dive into optimizing task delivery, getting the best from people, communicating the big picture, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset—all essential to scaling your coaching business and achieving lasting transformation.Guest Introduction:Today's guest, Chris Roebuck, is a globally recognized leadership expert. He has over 30 years of experience working with major organizations like HSBC, UBS, and the UK NHS. Chris has been named one of HR's most influential thinkers 10 times. He specializes in blending neuroscience, business insights, and real-world experience to empower leaders to maximize their potential and achieve measurable success. Chris is passionate about helping leaders unlock their true potential, and his strategies have helped organizations worldwide. His approach is invaluable for coaches looking to elevate their businesses and create meaningful transformation for their clients.The Leadership Success Formula - Key Takeaways:Step 1: Optimized Task DeliveryFocus on prioritization, time management, delegation, communication, and regular feedback to ensure tasks are delivered effectively. Effective task management creates more bandwidth for higher-level tasks and for scaling your online coaching business.Step 2: Get the Best From PeopleLeaders (and coaches) can inspire high performance with simple, human-centered actions like showing care, acting with integrity, supporting career development, and providing regular feedback. These actions are cost-effective, can be done more each day, and result in significantly better performance—up to 25-36% more effort. A key for coaches who want to grow a team or cultivate transformation in their clients.Step 3: Align Efforts with Organizational GoalsLeaders must communicate the organization's vision clearly and help team members understand how their work contributes to the larger picture. This is essential for business scaling, especially when communicating how the business goals align with personal goals, motivating people to put in their best efforts.Step 4: Foster an Entrepreneurial MindsetEncourage an entrepreneurial approach by optimizing risk, simplifying processes, innovating, and challenging the status quo. This step is critical for coaches and online businesses to stay competitive and innovative while building a business that's not only sustainable but also scalable.Getting the Best from People:Chris emphasizes that getting the best from people doesn't have to be complicated. Reflecting on the best boss you've had can reveal simple actions that inspire high performance. Leaders (and coaches) can inspire their team or clients by asking for ideas, showing care, acting with integrity, and supporting career development. These actions don't cost money and can increase employee (or client) effort by 25-36%.Communicating the Big Picture:Step 3 focuses on ensuring team members (or clients) understand how their work fits into the organization's larger goals. Leaders should regularly explain the company's vision and how individual roles contribute to that vision. This is crucial for creating alignment, especially as you scale your coaching business. When people understand the big picture, they are more motivated, collaborate more effectively, and stay committed to the mission.Entrepreneurial Mindset in Business:Step 4 is about thinking and acting entrepreneurially, even within larger organizations.

About our guest:Mark Steffe is the President/CEO of First Command Financial Services, Inc. which provides personal financial coaching to about 290,000 client families around the world. Mark is responsible for guiding the organization in its efforts to make lifelong financial security possible for all military families. First Command accomplishes this by creating lasting bonds with clients through face-to-face coaching and empowering them to develop positive financial behaviors for every stage of their lives. First Command is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and has more than 165 offices nationwide. First Command, through its subsidiaries, maintains more than $35 billion in managed accounts and mutual funds and has more than $62 billion in life insurance coverage in force, while First Command Bank holds more than $960 million in deposits.Mark joined First Command as a Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff of Advisor Operations in 2010 and has since played an integral role in evolving the client experience in a digital world. At the same time, he has protected the integrity of the face-to-face coaching that is central to the First Command philosophy. Throughout his subsequent roles as Senior Vice President and Director of Advisor Operations for the Midwest Division and Executive Vice President and National Director of Advisor Operations, Mark helped build strong, collaborative relationships between Advisors and the Home Office. This has been crucial in enabling Advisors to help clients pursue their financial goals more effectively and efficiently. His accomplishments and demonstrated leadership ability led to his promotion to President in 2017 and expanded COO responsibility in 2018.In January 2020, Mark was appointed as the first CEO in First Command's history without military service experience. His selection was the result of an ethos of service to the military gained during more than a decade immersed in First Command's culture, a deep understanding of the challenges faced by our Nation's military families, and in recognition of the demonstrated leadership skills required to guide the organization in its efforts to make lifelong financial security possible for all military families. On day 70 in his new role, Mark was confronted with a once-in-a-generation crisis as a global pandemic was declared. Under his leadership, First Command rapidly adjusted its operations to continue to help military families pursue financial security amidst a volatile economic landscape in which in-person face-to-face coaching was no longer possible. At the same time, at Mark's direction, First Command immediately made financial relief programs available to clients to bolster their financial outlook during the crisis.To ensure that First Command continually adapts to the needs of military families, Mark and his team regularly meet with clients to seek out their perspectives. During his tenure at First Command, Mark has visited more than 50 military installations in 23 U.S. states and three countries. This personal outreach is supplemented by the First Command Financial Behaviors Index®, a monthly survey that assesses the financial behaviors, intentions and attitudes of career military families. Mark also consults regularly with First Command's Military Advisory Board, a select group of retired senior flag officers and senior enlisted leaders from the Nation's military services. The 10-member board provides Mark and First Command with an independent perspective on issues relevant to First Command's work, as well as advice on how to best serve the interests of military clients.In his role as President/CEO, Mark has spearheaded inclusion initiatives for First Command. Under his leadership, First Command is striving to create a more inclusive culture in which all employees and Advisors feel trusted, valued and empowered. For Mark, advancing equality is not just the right thing to do from a business perspective, but a personal imperative born from a desire for everyone to have the same opportunities he has had in his career. In service of this goal, Mark committed to the CEO ACT!ON pledge for diversity and inclusion in 2020. He also championed the hire of the company's first Diversity & Inclusion Director. In recognition of Mark's leadership during the pandemic and on issues of diversity and inclusion, he was nominated as one of the Dallas Business Journal's Most Inspiring Business Leaders of 2020. Mark was also recognized in 2020 as a member of the Fort Worth 400, an annual list by Fort Worth Inc. magazine of influential community leaders.Mark actively supports several charitable endeavors, including the annual Spirit of Giving campaign by United Way of Tarrant County and the First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF). United Way of Tarrant County is a local charity focused on providing leadership and harnessing resources to solve persistent social challenges, while FCEF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering those who serve our Nation by improving their financial literacy. FCEF accomplishes this goal by offering approximately $130,000 in annual scholarships and financial education to America's military servicemembers, civilian federal employees and their families. In addition to his philanthropic pursuits, Mark is active in LeaderPrime, which fosters connections among Fort Worth business leaders new to the city or to their roles.Mark graduated with high honors from the University of Illinois, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. He holds Series 7, 8, 23, 63 and 65 securities registrations. He completed the Harvard University Advanced Management Program in 2015.He lives in Fort Worth, Texas along with his wife and five children.

Welcome to Women's Leadership Success, episode #142 on transforming your executive presence and advancing your career through leadership brand building. In this special podcast, executive leadership coach Sabrina Braham reveals the key strategies from her new Leadership Brand Blueprint Accelerator (see below) that help women leaders unlock their next-level career potential. Why Your Leadership Brand Matters More Than Your Technical Skills For ambitious women in management, director, VP, C-Suite, or founder roles, there's a critical gap that often prevents career advancement despite stellar qualifications. According to recent McKinsey research, while women have made significant progress in leadership representation, they still face unique barriers to advancement – with one key factor being the development of a strong leadership brand. "People can be very, very talented in their jobs, but they get so busy that they forget to pay attention to the things that will actually help their brand, help them deepen relationships, and help them be seen as a leader in their company," explains Sabrina Braham, who has spent 30 years coaching executives in Fortune 50 and Fortune 1000 companies. This leadership blind spot explains why technically brilliant women often get passed over for promotions. The critical differentiator isn't your expertise – it's how others perceive your leadership presence. The Surprising Career Impact of Commitment Tracking The first cornerstone of an influential leadership brand is commitment accountability – a simple practice that transforms how others perceive your reliability and trustworthiness. Why Senior Executives Track Their Commitments In Sabrina's extensive coaching experience with C-suite leaders, she's observed a fascinating pattern: "When I'm coaching a senior Vice President, CEO, CFO, or COO, they're much more likely to be on time, show up, and do the things they said they would do than people at the lower ranks." This insight reveals a critical truth: Tracking and honoring commitments isn't just good practice – it's a distinguishing characteristic of those who reach the highest leadership levels. Real-World Results: How Commitment Tracking Transformed Kathleen's Career Consider the case of Kathleen, a talented leader at a Fortune 50 company who had been there since its founding yet hadn't been promoted to Vice President despite her capabilities. "She was so intent on the goals she had, she forgot to pay attention to the people and what she needed to do for them," Sabrina explains. "As she began to pay attention to what her commitments were, how she was keeping them, and her relationships with other people, she began to improve. Over time, that led to her becoming a Vice President." Why Your Brain Needs a Commitment System When you implement a commitment tracking system, you activate what neuroscientists call the reticular activating system – the part of your brain that filters information based on what you consciously value. "When you start paying attention to the commitments you want to keep, it starts making you more aware of how you can improve, how you can update people, and let them know what's happening. It basically ups your game," Sabrina explains. The 1-10 Scale That Transforms Leadership Effectiveness A key component of Sabrina's Leadership Brand Blueprint is the 1-10 rating scale – a deceptively simple tool that creates remarkable clarity for leadership development. Why the Scale Works When Other Feedback Fails "What we tend to do in meetings and giving feedback is somewhat nebulous," Sabrina notes. "When you use a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the worst job you could be doing and 10 being the most incredible job ever, people are pretty consistent over time with their scores." This consistency means you can accurately track progress while avoiding vague assessments that don't lead to improvement. The 0.5 Improvement Rule Here's where Sabrina's approach becomes truly powerful: "What can you...

( See Below) Executive Brand as Career Catalyst "Your executive brand is the foundation of influence," Braham explains. "It's how you're remembered when you're not in the room." She emphasizes that successful career advancement strategies for women in management must include intentional brand building. This means crafting a clear leadership narrative, developing a strong digital presence, and consistently delivering value that aligns with your professional identity. The Influence-Success Connection "Leadership influence isn't just about authority—it's about creating impact through your unique brand," explains Braham. She notes that successful career advancement strategies for women in management begin with measuring your current influence and brand perception. "Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 in team communication, cross-departmental impact, and brand consistency. This baseline helps identify growth opportunities." Sabrina Braham The ROI justifies this investment. "One client invested $10,000 in leadership development and brand building, seeing a $30,000 salary increase within twelve months—a 300% return. After three years, her cumulative earnings grew by $100,000, representing a 1,000% ROI. Her enhanced executive brand opened doors to board positions and speaking engagements." Measuring Leadership Impact and Brand Strength Success leaves clues. Braham recommends tracking specific metrics: - Personal brand recognition (speaking invitations, media mentions) - Leadership influence score (stakeholder surveys) - Digital presence engagement (thought leadership metrics) - Team performance indicators (reflecting brand effectiveness)   "These metrics demonstrate both your growing influence and brand equity," notes Braham. "Together, they build a compelling case for advancement."

How can overcoming stage fright help you use storytelling to elevate your leadership and communication skills? For many entrepreneurs, professionals, and aspiring leaders, the fear of speaking in front of an audience can be a significant roadblock to achieving their goals. In the latest episode of Fordify LIVE! The Business Growth Show, I sat down with Success Story Strategist Brigham Blackham to explore how storytelling and overcoming stage fright can help unlock new levels of confidence and influence. Overcoming stage fright isn't just about building confidence; it's about creating meaningful connections with your audience. Brigham's unique journey, from performing on the Great Wall of China to coaching leaders around the globe, highlights the transformative power of storytelling in leadership. He emphasizes that authentic storytelling not only engages audiences but also reinforces personal and professional credibility. Whether you're addressing a room of employees, pitching an idea to investors, or stepping onto a stage, your ability to convey your message with authenticity and purpose can define your success. One of the key takeaways from the discussion is the role of preparation and mindset. Brigham shares how embracing ambiguity and stepping into discomfort can transform anxiety into opportunities for growth. Stage fright often stems from self-doubt, but by shifting focus from personal fears to the value being delivered to the audience, speakers can channel their energy into creating a memorable and impactful experience. Another essential element of overcoming stage fright is understanding the power of language. Brigham's experience as a linguist and storyteller underscores the importance of using words that inspire action and build trust. He provides insights into how leaders can craft narratives that resonate with their audiences, leaving a lasting impression. This approach not only boosts confidence but also ensures that the message aligns with the needs and expectations of the audience. Brigham also touches on how technology and content creation play a role in building confidence and authority. As someone who has filmed over 600 videos and leveraged storytelling in his own career, he demonstrates how consistent effort in content creation can enhance a speaker's skills over time. The ability to connect with an audience through stories, whether in person or online, is a skill that can be developed and refined with intentional practice. Overcoming stage fright isn't about eliminating fear entirely—it's about harnessing it as a tool to deliver your message more effectively. By focusing on preparation, authenticity, and connection, speakers can transform nervous energy into an asset that supports their leadership goals. Brigham's journey serves as a powerful example of how embracing challenges can lead to profound personal and professional growth. Watch the full interview on YouTube.

Leaders who display confidence are better equipped to inspire others, make strategic decisions, and handle challenges with resilience. However, confidence doesn't just emerge overnight; it is built through intentional practices. 1. Self-awareness and Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness is key to understanding one's strengths and growth areas, directly impacting leadership confidence. Leaders who invest in emotional intelligence training can more easily navigate complex team dynamics, boosting their self-confidence. By developing a deeper understanding of one's emotions, one can regulate them and respond to situations with clarity and calm. 2. Continual Learning and Growth Leaders who actively seek to develop new skills and stay up to date with industry trends exude more confidence. By continuously challenging yourself through learning and development opportunities, you stay prepared for changing circumstances, reinforcing your leadership capabilities. 3. Mentorship and Feedback One of the best ways to grow as a leader is to seek mentorship and actively request feedback from peers and team members. By receiving constructive input and applying it, leaders can build confidence in their leadership style while improving performance. This two-way communication also helps build stronger relationships and mutual trust.   Building Authentic Leadership Trust While confidence is critical, building authentic leadership trust sustains long-term success. Trust makes teams follow your lead, invest in your vision, and commit to achieving collective goals. But trust cannot be forced; it must be earned. Consistency in Actions and Words To build trust, leaders must align their actions with their words. Consistency in decision-making, behavior, and communication ensures that team members know what to expect from you. This creates a sense of reliability, which is fundamental to establishing trust.   Transparency and Open Communication Honesty and transparency foster trust within teams. Leaders who are open about their goals, challenges, and expectations build stronger connections with their teams. This authentic communication shows that you value your employees' input and are committed to their growth and the organization's success.   Empathy and Active Listening Building authentic leadership trust requires empathy.
