The professionals I've partnered with over the years are very special leaders.
They invest in their professional growth, they take actions, they are committed leaders and they reach their goals.
It takes dedication to invest in yourself to become the best you can be.
Being a REAL Leader
What I'm referring to is your "amazingness" when you are not behind the vale of a company and your title.
Let me explain...
When you are a COO at a company, you are an executive that makes decisions, a collaborator supporting clients and partners, a manager developing and coaching your teams. You're responsible for employee engagement and culture and ensuring that financial programs, processes and revenue goals are achieved. You have a mission.
You are recognized, respected and doors open because you have earned your title and you're associated with a company in demand. When you reach out to other executives as a representative of your company to promote, manage, or for building business, prospects open their doors because they're interested in engaging with an executive within your company. Your communication is as a representative within the company.
But, when you are interested in reaching out on your own behalf as part of your career strategy, it's your own personal journey. You are the product and you're about to pursue a possible opportunity for yourself, which makes you UNCOMFORTABLE and SPEECHLESS.
Now that you're ALONE because you're representing yourself, how do you make progress in your career search?
Why Leadership Must Come From the Inside
When you're seeking the best solutions for the next steps in your career and compensation, how you communicate your value and impact will be your game changer.
IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PURSUING WHAT YOU WANT vs.
TAKING WHAT YOU CAN GET.
When you are representing yourself, you must know...
Recommended by LinkedIn
Are you motivated to learn the skills that promote you? Do you yearn for landing hidden opportunities and multiple offers so that it's your choice where you go next?
It's you, and you alone that has to take actions to get these results.
After meeting hundreds of amazing leaders, I've learned that they undervalue themselves and avoid networking because it's uncomfortable and they don't know how to be strategic in their approach when representing themselves.
Overwhelm and Vulnerability get in the way --- fear of talking about their successes. and not being comfortable admitting what needs work. They need to decide between stretching the comfort zone for growth or staying stuck.
When you resort to applying online as your only action instead of a strategy that includes networking and promoting your value, you are not demonstrating leadership qualities. In fact, the perception may be that you are revealing the lack of leadership qualities.
REAL leaders stretch their comfort and take specific actions to become the best they can be.
Owning your value is to Know What You Want and Fearlessly Asking for it.

"Why Taking Actions is So Hard and How to Make Yourself Do It." Medium, L. Stockley
"When you take new action enough times it eventually becomes no longer uncomfortable. Through repetition, the action that caused you discomfort becomes a habit. Any learning needed to develop has been learned. Your comfort zone has grown around what was once your stretch zone. Now you have the opportunity to do a different action that will stretch you again. This is how we all continue to develop and grow."
