Are You Tired of Faking It?
We’re all fighting for the number one spot in our respective careers and businesses. To be at the top of the food chain, beating our chests as we tell the world that we’re the best. When we think of survival of the fittest, it makes sense at first glance. The weak get eaten while the strong survive. Yet, what happens when everyone starts doing chest bumps and yelling out that they’re the best? The harsh reality is that when everyone starts saying they’re #1, no one is. And that’s the reality of the world we’re in today.
Now what if we don’t want to be a savage beast that claws down everyone to get to the top? What if we don’t want to play that game? Is it even possible for us to still succeed in a more eloquent way? The good news is that most of the people who have been beating their chests have been kicked out of leadership roles at large companies and people who are just like yourself are replacing them in executive roles. Think about that for a moment. Ethical leaders who never had a chance at the c-suite are now leading the largest organizations in the world.
What if your brand could no longer be a juggling act, but an authentic extension of who you are? Where you could be your whole, true self and still take that top spot in your career or business?
The world is tired of seeing polished personas who are touting that they’re the best. We’re tired of seeing companies without any differentiators, bragging about how great they are.
Your customers, partners and investors are seeking deep connections with authentic and vulnerable leaders. Connections that you could provide through building a personal brand tailored around who you are.
