The world may have become more competitive and complex with more technology being part of our daily lives, it doesn't mean that our approach to staying relevant has to simply fight harder and fear that robots will take our spot. Quite the opposite is actually the case. Leveraging more tech to be more effective and efficient and have more options to choose from thanks to more supply, emphasis the i...

If you haven't lived under a rock, you'd have either already played with ChatGPT or at least heard of it. So naturally, people are worried about what it means to their role, their profession, and their industry. Will it change things? 100%. Will it replace humans? No. However, humans who are able to leverage tech and can operate new tools like ChatGPT however, will replace those who resist the cha...

Scaling your influence, income and impact is simple but not easy. It requires to have not only a solid strategy in place but a structured way to implement, leverage and monitor it whilst taking the 4 main aspects that make or break your success into consideration. They are: product-market fit (and that also goes for your IP if you want to monetise your expertise) people processes and of course, te...

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. It's an oldie but goodie and has never been more relevant than today. If you can't be seen, you can't be considered, so building and fostering a highly influential network is key for you to get ahead in your career. The question is - How do you actually do it, build an ecosystem that can support you in achieving your goals [espe...

Different times require a different way to create results and this is where innovation comes in. Now the definition of innovation is not necessarily creating newness but making sense of what you have and connecting it to make it a new solution. This is in the end exactly what the Trusted Authority framework is all about - and If you've listened to the the show for a little while, you know how much...

If there's one thing I love more than talking about trends then it's talking about trends before they're mainstream and an actual trend. And I couldn't think of a better person to do it with than with the one and only Mark Schaefer who's a return guest after he was a stand out, delivering the goods in our first interview where w got to know him and his approach this spotting trends and then riding...

You'd think that having the degrees, the years of experience, the expertise in your area would mean you've MADE it, right? I mean, all of your professional goals have come true, and you've gotten so far! Only… to realise that you're either not recognised for it, you're bored with what you do, or you don't even quite know what you actually want to contribute. In fact, getting the first few big runs...

Work, work places and workforces - they are all changing and technology certainly fast-tracks those changes even more so which means that in order to stay relevant and competitive in the market, we need to adjust to this new and next world. The rise of remote work, with that, global teams with diverse backgrounds, a wider adoption and sophistication of automation and AI tools, seeing mass lay offs...

We live in a noisy world where we have more choice and with that, more competition than ever before. That applies whether you're an employee and want to be not only considered but chosen for the promotion, managing the high stakes clients or the big budgets or you're an entrepreneur who's pitching for work. The question is - how do people make the decision who to engage for a project, who to hire...

We're joined by Leanne Hughes, an Australian businesswoman, entrepreneur,...

'Do so because I told you so' doesn't really fly anymore [and arguably - hasn't for a long time now]. However, if you want to get anything done and want to get the buy-in and/or the support for an initiative you need people to trust you and see you as an authority. Question is - how do you do this especially when you don't have (and maybe never want to have) the official title? This is what we dis...

As we're moving into the new year, it's important for us to understand what's ahead and what's required when it comes to talent and leadership expectations.

As the saying goes: 'If you don't plan, you plan to fail'. And especially now with so much uncertainty going on, it's you who can create some certainty in your life. So, if that sounds exactly what you're looking for, then this episode is for you as I share with you not only my process but also some of the tools and systems that I've implemented so you can jump straight into what works!

'If you want t o go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together'. This is exactly what comes to mind when I think of this week's guest, Bryan Williams who's not only built an executive career in and around partnerships but now also established his own consultancy. In this interview, Bryan lays out the steps he took to make the jump, how he determined the right time and also what he'd do dif...

In professions and industries where certainty is low because it's either so new or so volatile and results are not guaranteed, it all comes down to who you trust the most. Crypto, blockchain and the entire Web 3.0 world has been a big talking point, not just from a positive perspective. So the question is: how do you navigate through a world where people put up their guard and how do you change th...

Thought leadership isn't a type of content—it's an approach to content. I said it before and I'll say it again: Many people create good content but only a few create good content consistently. This is already a big part of becoming the Go-To, the trusted authority in your space: showing up consistently as it takes a few touch points for people to not only know and like you but more importantly tru...

One of the biggest differentials between technical experts and specialists in their field and trusted authorities and leaders is the ability to communicate and create content that resonates with their decision makers who usually don't have the same technical expertise and background than they have. Whilst content market has been a hot topic in the business and entrepreneur world, it is becoming mo...

Personal Branding isn't the same as Thought Leadership. Whilst they do go hand in hand and complement each other, they still require different attention and action steps to build. Your brand is the foundation to then build your thought leadership status on it. It's a non-negotiable as everything from there either tanks or takes off. The question is - what makes a thought leader and with that, a tr...
