In this week's episode, Marni welcomes Stephanie Hessler to the Life Check Yourself Studio. Stephanie is a seasoned career coach with a rich history on Wall Street, she specializes in helping high-achieving leaders, especially women, break through career roadblocks and reach the next level of success. Today, we're exploring how to reframe self-imposed limitations and create strategies for growth.We discussed common roadblocks many women face, such as undervaluing their achievements, not advocating for themselves, and failing to leverage important relationships. Stephanie offers actionable advice on how to shift mindset, become more strategic, and define a clear path to their desired professional future. Key Takeaways: You won't be promoted just by doing good work. Speak up for your accomplishments. Build connections and don't be afraid to ask for doors to be opened for you. Get crystal clear on who you want to become and start embodying that now.   1. Advocating for Yourself (4:20) Women often fall into the trap of thinking hard work will automatically be recognized and rewarded. This mindset leads to frustration as promotions or opportunities don't materialize, especially as they rise into leadership roles. Advocating for oneself is not about boasting, but about owning and showcasing the value you bring. "Women make the mistake of thinking because they've done a great job, they'll automatically be promoted. That simply doesn't happen." 2. Strategic Networking and Relationship Leverage (5:55) Women often excel at building relationships but hesitate when it comes to using those connections to advance their careers. It is important to use networks strategically, not just for support but to open new professional doors. "Women are skilled at relationships, but they neglect to leverage the people they know." 3. Defining and Embodying Your Future Self (15:00) A critical aspect of career growth is envisioning the person you want to become. Getting granular about what success looks like for you, whether it's compensation, work environment, or the kind of people you want to work with. From there, begin showing up as that person now.

With strategic networking, you can make some initial decisions about who you think you'd like to target. Then it's a matter of saying, "okay, where do these people congregate?" Identifying exactly where they are. Are they online? Are they offline? Most likely they're doing both. But if they are online, where's the best place to find them? And a lot of times, particularly with social media, we just end up interacting with whoever we happen to be connected with. But if that part of it isn't strategic, if we're not connected with the people that we could actually potentially do business with, then we're wasting our ammunition. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today's episode co host Jay McFarland and I will be discussing the power of strategic networking. Welcome back, Jay. Jay: Hey, thank you so much, David. I'm really glad we're talking about this because I think, you know, sometimes I think I'm great at networking, but there's not really any plan. There's not really any, like even down to storing information and how I'm going to follow up on it. I would not use the strategic word in what I'm doing. David: Okay. And I think you're not alone. I know that I have struggled with exactly the same thing. And even when we were thinking in terms of topics for today's podcast, The Power of Strategic Networking. What does it even mean? Right? What does strategic networking even mean? And the way that I'm looking at it is basically that strategic networking means, not just anyone, right? You're not just looking for anyone who can fog a mirror. You're looking for the people who are going to be best suited to you and what you have to offer. I think a lot of us tend to stumble into networking situations, whether it's with a chamber of commerce or BNI group or online in different situations, we're online, we're interacting with people. We consider it networking. But is it networking or is it just schmoozing? Is it just interacting with other people, or is it designed to get a positive result from a business standpoint? So I think if we start with that, the idea of strategic networking being that we're doing it for a specific result, which is to meet and interact with the type of people that we can ultimately do business with, then it becomes a whole different thing than just talking to people. Jay: Yeah. Again, this is so important because we're always talking about maximizing your time, focusing on the things that only you should be doing. And if you're just out there collecting business cards and now you have to follow up on each one of those. individuals, you're going to be spinning your wheels a lot and that's going to cost you money and time in the short term and long term. David: Yeah, especially if you're not quite sure what to do with those business cards. In other words, if you're just thinking, okay, I'm going to meet people, collect business cards, gather information, and then follow up with them. It's too generic. I mean, what does that even mean in terms of follow up? What does that even mean? And so for our clients, one of the things that we stress a lot is the idea of getting them qualified in or out as quickly as possible. I know so many salespeople who have engaged in networking that was you meet someone, you exchange business cards, and then you keep contacting them. You try to schedule an appointment to meet with them, to try to find out what they need and all that sort of thing without ever bothering to try to find out whether or not they're even a decent prospect for the products and services you offer. And it can be a huge waste of time if, in fact, they are not. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. We talk about time wasting and I think that even applies to thinking about it before you go into a situation where you want to employ marketing. Like in my particular use case, just walking into a room full of business owners doesn't cut it because I have a very niche product.

In a recent episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, with Jay Conner and featuring guest Adam Torres, the discussion centers around the profound impact of podcasting on professional development, networking, and entrepreneurship. Adam Torres, co-founder of Mission Matters, a media and branding company, delves into the nuances of podcasting that make it an essential platform for professionals today.Establishing Credibility through ConsistencyAdam Torres emphasizes the importance of consistency in podcasting. By maintaining a regular schedule and providing quality content, podcasters can build a solid catalog that not only attracts listeners but also enhances their credibility. Sharing personal experiences, Adam notes how his involvement in podcasting has led him to prestigious events and opportunities, underlining the power of media presence in establishing one's credibility in any industry.The Power of Legacy and Brand BuildingOne of the key points discussed is the value of leaving a legacy and building a personal brand. Podcasting offers a unique platform to share stories that resonate and stick with audiences, thereby helping to create a lasting imprint. Jay Conner shares a touching example by turning an interview with his father into a book, showcasing how podcasting can also serve as a means to preserve valuable personal and family histories, enhancing one's brand along the way.Strategic Networking and Relationship BuildingJay highlights the unexpected benefits of podcasting such as fostering relationships that have concrete professional advantages. Adam corroborates this by explaining how strategic guest selection and targeted content distribution can serve as a form of networking, which potentially opens up avenues for collaborations, investments, and even fundraising.Using Podcasting to Raise Private MoneyA significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to how podcasting can be a strategic tool for raising private capital. Adam proposes starting a niche-specific show to attract targeted listeners and using the platform to casually discuss possible investment opportunities with guests. This method, Adam suggests, presents a less aggressive yet highly effective approach to capital raising, where the conversation can naturally lead to investment without the initial hard sell.Leveraging Media for Greater Business OpportunitiesAdam's transition from finance to media was punctuated by his realization of the untapped potential in podcasting. With over 6,000 podcast episodes to his credit, he shares how this medium has helped him start a fund and engage in other business ventures inadvertently. The passive yet powerful influence of regular podcasting meant that opportunities came to him, showcasing how media involvement can catalyze professional growth and business opportunities in unexpected ways.Conclusion: Integrating Podcasting into Your Business StrategyAs Adam Torres and Jay Conner concluded their engaging discussion, it was evident that podcasting is more than just a broadcasting tool—it is a strategic asset that can enhance personal branding, establish credibility, foster impactful relationships, and even facilitate fundraising efforts. For entrepreneurs and business professionals looking to amplify their influence and opportunities, podcasting presents a viable, flexible, and impactful avenue to explore.“As We Get Older, Nobody Looks At How Much Money Is In The Bank, The Focus Shifts To Things That Matter”  - Adam Torres10 Lessons Covered in this Episode:1.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #931. What is a thought leader? What does thought leadership look like? How do you become a thought leader? I've spent decades fascinated by people who undertake the job of either creating or building on great ideas (mostly in business). It's what led me to start ThinkersOne and it's the same thing that keeps me inspired to show up here - week after week - and have these types of conversations. This week, we're doing something a little bit different. I reached out to Peter Winick - the founder and CEO of Thought Leadership Leverage and host of the Leveraging Thought Leadership Podcast - and asked him if he would mind leading a conversation on the business of thought leadership. We were both eager to discuss and debate the value of thought leadership, the changing landscape of book publishing, building a personal brand, the power of thought leadership in corporate settings, the role of social proofing and more. We both agree that it's all about relationship development, balancing vanity metrics and strategic networking, developing thought leadership skills and leveraging thought leadership for business opportunities. We explore the importance of creating mid-tier products, amplifying thought leaders' voices, and democratizing intellectual property. The conversation delves into building a sustainable thought leadership business, using thought leadership as a business generation strategy, and the real money in thought leadership. While we both might not love the title of “thought leader” we both agree on the value of people who chose the importance of lifelong learning, content creation, and balancing creativity with business strategy as a profession.

Takeaways Practice and refinement are essential for thought leaders to deliver valuable content. Social media can serve as an R&D lab for testing ideas and gathering feedback. Thoughtful thought leadership focuses on adding value and engaging with the audience, while influencer marketing aims to persuade and sell products. Respecting the publish button and ensuring the quality of content is crucial for thought leaders. Artificial intelligence can be used to enhance thought leadership by improving writing, generating opposing perspectives, and providing new insights.
