    This is Why No One Believes Your "Authority" in the Industry | Ep 441

    enSeptember 27, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Share practical insights from real-life experiencesFocus on building a strong foundation of expertise by sharing practical insights gained from real-life experiences to gain credibility and authority in a particular field

      In order to build a successful brand and gain authority in a particular field, it's essential to have a solid foundation of experience and evidence to back up the knowledge you're sharing. Constantly putting yourself out there and sharing theoretical knowledge without the proof to back it up may lead to people questioning your credibility. Instead, focus on building a strong foundation of expertise and sharing practical insights gained from real-life experiences. Additionally, having coaches and mentors who have already achieved success in the field can provide valuable perspective and help you improve your skills. Remember, people are more likely to listen to and learn from those who have already walked the walk.

    • Communicating Effectively: Share Personal Experiences and Focus on AccomplishmentsInstead of assuming authority and telling others what to do, share personal experiences and accomplishments to build relatability and credibility.

      The way we communicate and position ourselves can significantly impact how our messages are received. Instead of assuming authority and telling others what they should do, it's more effective to share our personal experiences and what worked for us. This approach makes us more relatable and less likely to be met with resistance. Additionally, focusing on our own accomplishments and successes, rather than trying to compare ourselves to others or generalizing industry ideas, can help establish credibility and build a stronger brand. By changing our language and the way we speak about ourselves and our expertise, we can create deeper connections with our audience and increase our influence.

    • Speak from experience and authoritySharing real-life examples and lessons from your own journey can help establish credibility and resonate with your audience. Expertise comes from documenting your progress and growth.

      Speaking from a place of experience and authority is more effective than delivering content based on theory or borrowed ideas. Sharing real-life examples and lessons from your own journey can help establish credibility and resonate with your audience. The heart of successful content creation lies in discussing topics that you have expertise in, rather than just regurgitating information from others. As Morpheus said in The Matrix, "I stand here truthfully and unafraid, not because of the path that lies before me, but because of the path that lies behind me." By documenting your progress and growth through sharing your experiences, you can create valuable content that resonates with your audience and builds your brand. It may take time and resources to capture and share every step of your journey, but the benefits of establishing authority and expertise are worth the investment. To further explore this concept, check out my podcast, which has almost 400 episodes spanning over six years, and listen to the evolution of my ideas and perspectives.

    • Documenting experiences for learning and growthSharing experiences authentically for learning and growth builds deeper connections and long-term success

      Documenting the journey of building a business and sharing insights authentically can be invaluable for both personal growth and adding to the collective knowledge. The speaker emphasizes the importance of documenting experiences not for ego or to preach, but for learning and growth. Additionally, humans have an innate ability to sense intention, and by genuinely giving to an audience over time, one can build a deeper connection and reap greater rewards. The speaker's perspective is to make money through a long-term game, and by focusing on authentic giving, success will follow.

    • Providing value to attract clientsGiving away valuable information can attract clients, but the true value comes from coaching, troubleshooting, and unique perspective.

      Providing valuable information for free can help attract clients, but the real value lies in the implementation, accountability, and perspective that a coach or mentor can offer. The speaker emphasizes the importance of giving away secrets to prove expertise, but the true value comes from the coaching and troubleshooting that follows. People make purchasing decisions based on the value they've already received, so providing a taste of what's to come can lead to more significant financial gains. The speaker also highlights the importance of continuous learning and the difficulty of self-assessment, making the role of a coach or mentor even more crucial. In essence, the value of a coach or mentor comes from their ability to provide a unique perspective and guide individuals towards improvement.

    In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.

    My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
