Can personal stories sell? Yes! And here's why: The liking bias. (We want to do business with people we like.) But what about expertise? It's important. But.. We don't care how much you know until we know how much you care. Warmth first, expertise second. Leading with expertise (only) makes you a commodity (unless you have a combination of rare skills). Combining your story, values, identity and your expertise makes you memorable. Because nobody has the same background and story as you. So, mix authority-enhancing & personal stories. That's a key to connection and winning some sweet business deals. #storytelling #influence #personalbranding #reputation  

Being influential is about owning your story and understanding your "why." Your unique experiences shape your perspective and drive your actions. And, when you own your narrative and align with your "why," you empower others to do the same. By embracing your journey, you also demonstrate authenticity and resilience. So.... Share your story, your challenges, and the lessons learned. And, let your purpose guide you... ...because embracing your story and living your "why" is a powerful way to make an impact! What is your story? What is your "why"? #Influence #OwnYourStory #KnowYourWhy

Everyone says "it's not what you know, it's who you know" Wrong. It's who knows YOU. The difference? • What you know = your expertise • Who you know = your network • Who knows you = your influence The loudest voice rarely wins. The most connected person rarely wins. The most memorable voice always does. 3 ways to be unforgettable: 1. Have a distinct point of view 2. Solve problems others ignore 3. Show up consistently where your audience lives Stop trying to know everyone. Start working so everyone wants to know you. #branding #influence #personalbrand

Many communicate, but few connect. Connecting requires being intentional. The KEY is realizing it's not about YOU, and realizing it's about OTHERS. #others #servingothers #significance #influence #connecting #intentionalliving

I picked up a thought from somewhere some time back: to influence every person who comes into contact with me by providing something of value to them. It could be as simple as a contagious smile or a comment that brightens their day, or something more impactful that changes their perspective on life. I strongly believe that every action or circumstance we face each day is part of our journey. #PositiveImpact #PersonalGrowth #Influence #Value #Reflection #Journey What actions have you taken today to positively impact those around you?

Motivations People make decisions based on their own motivations, not ours. This applies not only to purchasing products but also to embracing ideas. Understanding this has helped me refine my approach when presenting solutions or pitching concepts. I focus on listening and uncovering what truly matters to them—their values, needs, and desires. By aligning my ideas with their reasons, I can better communicate the value and create connections that resonate, ultimately leading to more successful outcomes. #motivations #decisions #influence
