I lost my dad 29 years ago
and last week I was given a photo of him I’d never seen before.

It took me a moment (and my breath away) to take it in.
He was only 50 when he died, an age I'm only 3 years away from. 

This photo captures him in his element, surrounded by food doing the work he loved.

Grief doesn’t vanish.
You don’t 'move on.'
You move with it.

Some days it sits quietly. 
Some days it taps you on the shoulder.
And then there are moments like this, when it brings someone straight back into your heart.

But this photo did something else too.
It reminded me exactly where my own fire comes from.

My dad was all graft, pride and heart.
He cared deeply about his craft.
And he cared about people.

I started working for him when I was 12.
By 15, I was running the restaurant at weekends
Leading people twice my age, learning fast, getting things wrong, figuring out how to hold a team together.

At the time it just felt like 'helping Dad.'
Now I see it for what it was: my first leadership training ground.
So much of who I am today started in that restaurant.

Courage.
Ownership.
Showing up even when you don’t feel ready.
Taking pride in your work.

Seeing this photo now, almost three decades later, has pushed me even further into my own path.

His passion was food.
Mine is helping leaders find their courage to do the work that matters.
Different passions, same spirit.
Although my second choice would have been a food critic 😀

For anyone who’s lost someone, you’ll know this:

The grief softens, but the love doesn’t.
And moments like this make you stop and ask:

👉 Are we using the time we have well?
👉  Are we doing the work that feels true to us?
👉  Are we leading with pride in our craft… or just getting through the week?

I feel incredibly grateful for the years I had with him, for what he taught me, and for the reminder this photo brought.

If you’ve had a moment like this recently, I’d love to hear what it brought up for you.

Strengthening Leadership Teams to Connect, Perform & Grow Together | Courageous Leaders Podcast| Speaker | International Coach of the Year 2020 🏆 | Follow for posts about self-mastery, leadership & culture

For my birthday last week, I went to a restaurant with NO menu.
And it felt so good to let go of control.

7 courses and no idea what's coming next. 

Even when they put butter that had marmite in it!! (I'm a hater)
It was amazing and I would have never ordered it had I been given the choice.

But here's the genius bit:

Every table eating the same thing.
Only 2 sittings at 7.30pm and 8pm.
The kitchen wasn't chaos... it was calm precision.
No decisions to stress about.
Just pure focus on quality and experience.

And they were all having the BEST time, singing to the music and having the time to have banter with us and make us feel SO special. 

There is so much to learn from this in corporate business. 

What could be possible is leaders stopped trying to control every outcome.
Empowered their teams to be creative.

Stopped offering endless options.
Just do fewer things... really, really well.

What if you applied this to your next project?

Your team?

Your life?

I already have and it's amazing how you can strip things back and simplify to create a better experience.

The old saying 'less is more' is so true.

Where is one area you can apply this to?

The power of glitter.

A room full of women sharing.
Listening.
Supporting.
And encouraging each other to take those 'F*ck It' moments to live our potential. 

Nishma Patel Robb 🪩⚡️ created a night I’ll remember.
Not because it was shiny (even though it was), but because it felt safe.
Safe to be honest.
Safe to be seen.
Safe to let someone else hold a bit of your story.

I’m so grateful she followed her dream. 
It’s not the easy road, but it’s one that’s helping so many women back themselves.

If you’re not already following her, go step into her world of glitter. It’s genuinely uplifting.

Amazing to get to spend the evening with incredible women including Kerry Collinge Amanda Baker Catherine Peacock Anna Cairns Justine Hendry

This wasn’t just the most special morning.
It reminded me why I started the podcast in the first place.

I never imagined how much the guests would teach me, inspire me, and shape how I see leadership today.

Here’s just a small glimpse of the impact being created by the people around this table:

🔥 Mollie Kmita & Rosie Kmita – driving transformational change in women’s football, even when faced with misogyny and resistance.

🔥 Sedge Beswick – lifting founders to believe in themselves again and drive business success.

🔥 Lee Chambers - Driving research to raise the alarm on the impact AI is having on young boys and pushing for guardrails at government level.

🔥 Ali Hanan – showing brands how inclusive marketing isn’t just the right thing to do…it delivers stronger commercial performance when you truly listen.

What was truly wonderful is how different all their worlds are and yet the thread between them is the same:

Courage.
Curiosity.
A deep desire to make things better.
And genuinely lovely kind people. 

And it made me reflect on a simple leadership question:
What change are we each quietly trying to make…
and what would happen if we backed ourselves a little more?

I honestly feel incredibly lucky to learn from these remarkable humans.
And if you’re not following them yet, I’d really recommend it.

It didn't go to plan and I didn't fall apart. 

Halfway through day one of PrettyGreen | The Global Fame Makers’ overnight offsite to plan 2026, I realised my afternoon content wasn't going to work.

The morning had taken us to an unexpected outcome. 

Old Jo would have panicked.
She would have ploughed ahead with her planned agenda anyway, convinced that sticking to the script was safer than admitting she didn't think it was going to work.

Instead, I stopped the room and shared that I didn't think the direction for the afternoon was going to work.

I brought the leaders into the thinking and we scrapped the original plan. 

That moment showed me how far I've come.

The hardest part of becoming a facilitator is learning to let go of the outcome. 

To trust that the right thing will emerge when you follow where the group needs to go.

For someone who likes control (guilty), this is terrifying.

But the magic happens when you're willing to not know. 
When you bring people into the uncertainty with you. 
When you trust yourself enough to say, "let's figure this out together."

So many of you have become rigid in your leadership. 
Clinging to how things are always done and your plans.

The best breakthrough moments happen when we let go of what we thought should happen and lean into what wants to happen.

In 2026, you need to become okay with not knowing exactly where you're headed.

That's where the real leadership lives.

Has this happened to you?

If 'doing the right thing' could cost you EVERYTHING...

Would you do it?!

Zelda Perkins did.

She spoke out and fought to break her NDA with Harvey Weinstein after being silenced for years.

Her courage exposed how NDAs were being used to hide abuse and protect power.

That single act sparked Can't Buy My Silence, a global movement to end NDAs that cover up wrongdoing.

Speaking to Zelda about her story is one of the most powerful conversations I have had to date and one not to miss.

Especially if you feel currently strongly about something but are unsure or afraid of acting on it.

We went deep on:

- What happens when you speak out against power
- Why we need to go to government for support
- Recognising self-bullying
- Why speaking up needs to stop being seen as 'brave'
- The ability to keep going despite setbacks

This episode will make you question so much and start to see things in a completely different way.

Zelda had the courage to change what she saw was wrong and to keep going despite the emotional toll this took. 

She is a true inspiration. And I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the episode.

What a brilliant night.

It's not often you see a room full of Marketeers sing the Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 miles). 😂

The most special part is knowing the event is supporting 2 incredible causes.

⭐️ The amazing The Marketing Academy Foundation creating opportunities in our industry for people from challenging backgrounds

⭐️ Under One Sky, who are working to end homelessness 

The goal is to raise £250,000 and it's not too late to take part in the auction to contribute. Check it out on this link https://lnkd.in/eKJZW7AF

And all organised by the amazing Joel Barnett and his team at Fortune Hill. 

Thanks to my brilliant quiz team including Sophie Devonshire⚡️and The event queen herself Mays Elansari

This episode will stay with me for a long time.

The energy Mollie Kmita and Rosie Kmita walk into a room with is infectious, but the authentic leadership story behind that energy is where the real power sits.

At 14, they lost their home.

At 17, they lost their dad

At 19, they started their own women’s football club

At 23, they became professional footballers

And today, they are Forbes 30 Under 30 and founders of The Powerhouse Project 

Two incredible women who openly spoke about the chaos, the fear, the grief and the courage it took to build a life that looks nothing like where they started.

They’re proof that your beginning doesn’t get to decide your future.

And for leaders, their story is a reminder that resilience isn’t built in comfort.

It’s built in the moments you think might break you… but don’t.

If you want a dose of inspiration going into the weekend, I can’t recommend this episode enough.

Resilience isn’t built in comfort - Mollie & Rosie Kmita

I don’t often listen to The CEO Diaries anymore,

but this episode has helped me a lot. 

I’m in a stage of really questioning what matters
how I spend my time,
what genuinely lights me up,
and what I’ve been saying yes to out of habit.

Listening to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor brought me right back to what it means to be human.

She lost eight years of her life after a stroke.

Her story is extraordinary, not only because of what she overcame, but because of how she chose to live after.

She said something that I've found myself repeating all week:

 “Your life is worth 30 seconds.”

Thirty seconds to pause before reacting.
Before saying yes.
Before letting stress spill into the next moment.

Those 30 seconds hold the power to change how we live and lead.

Think about the impact of NOT taking them:
🔥 Being exhausted and not able to think straight
🔥 Losing the love for what you do 
🔥 Poor decisions and feeling stuck 
🔥 Your stressed energy costing your health and infecting those around you

We’ve all become so quick to react, especially under pressure.

So when everything feels urgent, take 30 seconds to remember what actually matters.

I can't explain enough how this has changed the way I'm approaching my week. I have such a clear head and lighter heart.

Your life and those you lead is worth 30 seconds.

How can you take this into your leadership?

12 leaders.
2 days
1 company with big ambitions.
1 beautiful venue.
And a table full of brilliant human beings. 

Year two of running PrettyGreen | The Global Fame Makers’s leadership two-day planning days reminded me why this work matters so much.

When a team is willing to pause the 'busy' button and look at themselves and the business, really look, opportunities open up.

We went deep into:

 • Innovation – what it really means
 • Curiosity – how to stay open, especially under pressure
 • Values – how they evolve as you grow
 • Culture – the behaviours that build trust (and the ones that quietly break it)
 • Emotional fitness – leading with steadiness even when things feel messy
 • Feedback – the conversations that change everything 

These are the muscles every leadership team needs right now.
Especially in a market where certainty is a luxury.

A special shout-out to Jessica Hargreaves Paczek, one of the most caring and courageous CEO's I’ve met (and I’ve interviewed over 150 on the podcast).

And to 🌳 Mark Stringer, for meeting change head-on, taking feedback with grace, and having an endless energy resource.

If you’re a leadership team reading this, here’s my question for you:

When was the last time you stopped long enough to look at the way you work together… not just the work you deliver?

A huge thanks to the full team for giving everything to the 2 days, even when the wine started to show up in plastic cups!! Sarah Henderson Lucy Mart Adam Shoemark Joe Stratton Hannah Macleod Emma Carson Lucy Porter Darren Greene Samantha Hooper Gill Sereena Abbassi FRSA

The courage to be YOU!

That was the title of my talk at the Women in PR Christmas drinks

Because it was also the title of the event I walked into 7 years ago, that completely changed my life.

Back then, I was operating from proving, pleasing and not feeling good enough.
 
Today, I get to stand on the other side and pass on what I’ve learnt. 
That’s something I don’t take lightly.

Key things I shared:

🔥 Your 3 intelligence centres - head, heart and gut, and why alignment gives you more energy than any productivity hack ever will.

😀 Your future self - yes, it’s powerful to be present… but who are you becoming? And are your daily actions actually taking you there?

🦁 Courage before confidence - we have to stop waiting to feel “ready.” Courage and certainty come first. Confidence is just the receipt.

It was real honoured to be invited to speak, thank you Laura Perry and Jo Carr.

If you  want a dose of courage for your team to lift them up, then drop me a  DM.

How often do you go to the other side?

Last week, the right side of my brain finally got a turn.

My whole career, I've been told I'm too left-brained.

Interesting considering I spent my whole time in the creative industry, but it was in operations : )

So I decided to give it some exercise and went to a painting class. 

I had to work quite hard at trying to let go of it being right or overthinking what to do. 

Right now, I'm seeing too many leaders rigid in their thinking, so this is my shout-out to go and do something you don't normally do.

Give your dominant brain a rest and explore the other side. 

Have fun. 

I'd love to hear from anyone who consciously exercises both sides of their brains and what they do in the comments.

What if your resilience is actually survival mode?

That was the question running through my mind as I spoke with Mollie Kmita and Rosie Kmita – former pro footballers, now founders of The Powerhouse Project.

They have achieved so much:

🔥 Forbes 30 Under 30

🔥 Nike and Google partnerships

🔥 Creating real pathways for women in football

But what we talked about wasn’t the glossy stuff.

They vulnerably shared:

• The impact of losing their dad at 17 to alcoholism
• How hyper-achievement helped to hide grief 
• The guilt you feel if your not ‘busy’
• How people pleasing impacted two businesses not working
• 16 years of pushing so hard, in case it all disappeared

It is so important to recognise the difference between resilience and survival mode. 

Resilience is steady.
It helps you adapt, recover, and lead with clarity.
You can pause. You can choose. You can breathe.

Survival mode is frantic.
It’s fuelled by fear, guilt, and the belief that if you stop, everything will fall apart.

One keeps you grounded.
The other keeps you running.

The Kmita twins are now operating from resilience and realising you calm down without losing ambition.

If you lead a team, here’s the real challenge from this episode:

Don’t just ask, “How do we build resilience?”
Ask, “What are we silently rewarding – survival mode or sustainable leadership?”

Because your people are watching what you live, not what you say.

Are you in survival mode? Let me know in the comments.

Shhhh….

Have you ever stayed quiet when you knew you should speak up?

Maybe out of fear… or because you didn’t think your voice would make a difference?

When the Harvey Weinstein ‘story’ was about to break, Zelda Perkins broke her NDA to do the right thing. 

She told the journalist everything, hoping other women with NDAs would come forward too.

But no one did.

So, she went first.

Her story isn’t just about taking on one man… it’s about taking on a system that silenced victims.

It took passion, resilience, courage - and 7 long years of pushing for change.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to stay silent, or you’re trying to create a culture where people can speak freely, this episode will really resonate.

Zelda shares her journey, her mission to make workplaces safer and more transparent.

And why speaking up should be seen as normal - not ‘brave.’

It’s one of those conversations that will stay with me - and I hope it does with you too. 

I’d love to know what you thought of the episode.

Most leaders say they care about allyship.
Very few actually practice it.

I’ve just recorded a conversation with Lee Chambers that I can’t stop thinking about, and I’m sharing this early because it’s one every leader needs on their radar.

We unpacked the everyday behaviours that decide whether people feel safe, valued, and able to be themselves at work, and the shocking data from his research with young boys and AI.

Lee has a way of holding up a mirror without making you defensive.
He names the hard truths, but he does it with compassion and clarity.

We dug into:
• What genuine allyship actually looks like
• The pressure men feel to fit outdated stereotypes
• Why culture change stalls (and how to unlock it)
• How leaders can create environments where everyone grows
• What boys are turning to when the world feels confusing or lonely — including AI companionship

Some of Lee’s research is hopeful.
Some of it is genuinely worrying.
But it’s important we don’t look away.

This episode lands on Thursday, and it’s one to make time for.

In the meantime…
What does real allyship mean to you?

Make sure you don’t miss the episode

Too many of us are self-bullying!

And we need to stop it.

In my latest episode on Courageous Leaders , Zelda, who for years has campaigned to stop bad behaviour, shared the moment when she realised how badly she’d been treating herself.

It made me stop and think.

As leaders, we talk about the importance of compassion.

But how often do we give it to ourselves?

It’s a tough role, and there’s not much thanks that comes with it.

So it’s easy to notice what we’re not doing instead of what we are.

So maybe today, just check in:  
How are you speaking to yourself?

And what would it sound like if that voice came from compassion instead?    

If this resonates, this conversation with Zelda is a powerful reminder that courage starts with how we treat ourselves.

Why am I making life harder for myself?

The question Mollie Kmita and Rosie Kmita are trying to answer.

And one I think we all are!

Rosie shared how the voices in her head kept saying:

“You’re not good enough.”

“You’re boring.”

“No one’s listening.”

It’s like having a toxic boss in our own heads that keeps us working hard.

We know that we perform better with encouragement, yet we are stuck in a cycle of criticism. 

My theory is that many leaders believe that if they talk nicely to themselves they won’t achieve as much?

What are your theories on this?

🔥 Courage in Bitesize 

How to let someone challenge you, without getting defensive 

Most of us say we want honesty.
Until someone offers it and we suddenly launch into our Greatest Hits of Justification. 

I tried this and it does make a difference. 

1. Pause - Just one beat.

2. Relax your face - Your eyebrows don’t need to panic.

3. Say - “Thanks — tell me more.”

4. Listen, don’t load your comeback.

5. Focus on the outcome you want to achieve to manage emotions 

That’s it.
Tiny moves.
Big courage. 

It’s amazing how quickly people stop tiptoeing when they realise you’re not gearing up for battle.

How much is guilt driving your leadership? 

That feeling of “I should be working… I should be doing more” — and before you know it, you’re saying yes to too many things and juggling work that doesn’t actually move you forward. 

On our latest Courageous Leaders episode, Mollie Kmita and Rosie Kmita share how ten years of saying 'yes' to everything finally caught up with them.

There’s a season early in your career where saying yes makes sense — you’re learning, building, getting curious.

But there’s also a moment of becoming a leader where you have to be strategic. 

Maybe the most courageous move isn’t adding more.
Maybe it’s stripping back so you can think clearly again.

What’s one thing you could say “no” to this week? 

I recommend watching the full episode. It's one of our most inspiring yet.

Today's Authority Traction Newsletter dives into something most coaches, consultants, and founders  know deep down but rarely talk about...

➡️ Your LinkedIn isn’t flat because of the algorithm.
➡️ It’s flat because confusion compounds faster than Authority.

You know what I mean, right? 🤔

👉 A blurred niche here…
👉 An unfocused message there…
👉 One skipped week…
👉 One forced post…
👉 One more “pivot”…

Suddenly you’re not leading the conversation... you’re reacting to it. 😲

After years working inside Fortune 500 organizations, I can tell you this with certainty: Businesses rarely collapse from 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀. They collapse from 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀.

And right now, I see a lot of drifting on LinkedIn without people realizing it.

So,
If you’re tired of “trying everything”…
If you’ve been feeling inconsistent…
If your message feels fuzzy…

Remember this... 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰.

Authority Compounds… and So Does Confusion

I don’t talk about this much but there was a moment in my business where I almost walked away from LinkedIn completely. 🤔

Not because I didn’t believe in it, but because I was tired. 😫

👉 Tired of posting thoughtful content that got polite engagement... but no real conversations.
👉 Tired of spending hours planning, writing, showing up… with no increase in clients.
👉 Tired of feeling like the algorithm was eating my brilliance for breakfast.

And the worst part? I knew I was good at what I did. The market just didn’t know it yet.

I was visible → 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯.I was present → 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘥.I was Seen → 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵-𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳.

The emotions were rising up:
⛓️‍💥 It felt unfair.
⛓️‍💥 It felt confusing.
⛓️‍💥 And if I’m being honest… 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. I know you know what I mean.

One day I had to get bold and confront myself:
“𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨?”

Turns out, I was doing the right things… 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙋𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙚. 🙄

I thought I had a visibility problem but I actually had a phase problem.

I was trying to create Phase 3 results (𝘪𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴, 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺) while still operating with Phase 1 habits (𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵, 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘴).

And once I understood what Authority Phase I was actually in, I cold change the outcome..

🏆 My confidence came back.
🏆 My messaging sharpened.
🏆 My lead flow increased.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝗯… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆.

So tomorrow, we’re having the conversation I wish someone had with me years ago about this. Because too many brilliant coaches are working in the wrong phase and blaming themselves for the wrong things.

No alternative text description for this image

This weekend while grocery shopping with my husband, I overheard two women behind us talking about the government shutdown ending. 🛒

One said... “𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦.”

Ouch! That hit me like a Mack truck. 🚛

Then I heard the other... “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵.”

That's when I stopped reaching for the PayDay candy bar and told him... “𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.”

It is scary, isn't it? 😬

That shutdown didn’t just break a record, it cracked open a truth.

👉 People had to take out loans for groceries... 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵-𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?
👉 Families had to choose between rent and food... 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦?
👉 Folks lined up at food banks who never imagined needing one... 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥!

Even though the government reopened, the fear and anxiety still lingers because something felt and experienced like this is not easily erased.

As we were driving home, I said “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥.”

You see, life doesn’t warn you. Life just happens, and you either have a stability plan or you don’t.

Most people who have jumped into coaching or consulting don’t have that in place.

And honestly, when I first started out as a coach, I didn’t either. Nobody was there to actually tell me about building my Authority Brand and much less show how to do it. They were telling me a whole lot of other stuff, but not the stuff that mattered most.

I spent years posting and praying on all the "social media" platforms... Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, hoping and waiting on leads, clients and referrals like they’d fall from the sky... 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘦. 😣

But thank God for a good man (pun intended 😂)

He looked at me, smiled... and said “𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘱.”

That’s when it clicked...

Your Authority Brand isn’t a logo. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻. It's your insurance policy that keeps your business breathing when everything else suffocates.

That’s why I built The Authority Lab™ to help coaches, consultants, and founders build their personal business protection plan as an Authority Brand on LinkedIn.

→ Not as a program, but as the stability system I wish I had when I was barely keeping my head above water.

With another possible shutdown looming in 2026… 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗿! 💪

Are you kidding me. 😲

I thought I had landed a starring role in a remake of "The Grey". Instead of wolves... coyotes on the block.

Y'all, I live in Chicago. The city of snow and Al Capone, not coyotes.

Yea, the coyotes don't look too threatening in the pic.

They're just standing there... 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘮... 𝘈𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵… 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. 😬

But danger rarely announces itself loudly, right.

It lurks and eases in quietly. Going unnoticed all too often.

Well, that just might be like your LinkedIn presence right now. 👀

You scroll, thinking everything’s fine.
You assume visibility will bounce back after the holidays... 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘉𝘈𝘔!

Your headline blurs, your offers fade, and your DMs stay silent. 😬

That's Authority erosion, the topic I wrote about in my Authority Traction Newsletter today. 📰

You see, when you're trying to build your Authority Brand, you don’t just wake up one day with:

📉 Zero leads
📉 Zero profile views
📉 Zero engagement
📉 Zero discovery calls

That happens slowly, with...

👉 A weak banner here.
👉 A confusing headline there.
👉 A message that blends in.

𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮. 🙄

Before you know it… your LinkedIn presence is in danger and your Authority eroded. 😬

This year, I’ve reviewed hundreds of profiles, and the pattern is always the same.

Coaches and consultants assuming:

❌ Visibility will pick back up soon.
❌ Leads flow will be better next year.
❌ They’ll fix their profile “after the holidays.”

But Authority doesn’t vanish overnight. It just erodes when we're not paying attention.

Quietly. Steadily. Sometimes… 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

Here’s the twist: just like those coyotes circling back at night... Authority threats circle back. They don’t vanish.

That’s why the Authority Lab™ is here for 2026.

What we do in the Lab, isn’t built on hustle. It’s built on 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 + 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Your Black Friday opportunity drops this week. Only time to lock in 2026 Black Card Access™.

Comment 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 and I’ll send the early details.

Helping Introverted Coaches & Founders Build a Visible, Premium Authority Brand — So YOU Stand Out Confidently, Attract High-Value Clients & Grow Without Losing Your Identity | Speaker | Bank Your Brilliance™

Too many coaches live on borrowed oxygen. One flick of the LinkedIn algorithm and BOOM... 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁-𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀. 😯

(𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. 🙌)

A while back, I made a decision: 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱.

→ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺. 😊

Basically, there are two ways to operate here:

1️⃣ 𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁 → You copy, chase reach, and ride every hack-du-jour. Every update feels like Russian roulette with your revenue.

2️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱 → You own a fortress of proof, positioning, and Authority presence. The algorithms may visit, but they don’t control the rent.

The problem? Over 87% of you act like Tenants but expect Landlord results. 😏

Here's the antidote ⚗️

Remember that:
✅ Platforms shift, but Authority compounds.
✅ Likes don’t pay invoices; conversations do.
✅ Visibility without positioning just fuels the scroll.
✅ LinkedIn insurance isn’t a policy; it’s an Authority Brand that outlives the feed.

My personal playbook (𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘵, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦):

The Authority Brand Formula™ ↔ B + O + C × (Ex3) ÷ T

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 → Say why you’re the pick, not a pick.
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → Turn your profile into a “Book a Call” funnel, not a résumé.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 → Educate, agitate, validate.
𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 → Comments, Connections, Conversations.
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 → Compress all this until consistency becomes your default.

Run the formula for 90 days and see results like:

👉 Profile views increase by 210% (targeted prospects)
👉 Inbound connection requests grow by 167%
👉 Steady flow of premium leads

Will an update throttle your impressions? 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦.
Will it topple a brand anchored in Authority? 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

Bottom line... Stop refreshing the feed... ➡️ Start banking your brilliance.

Your own personal economy is now in you hands. 💛

I thought the 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝘆’𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 was going to be magical… 🤩

Instead, it felt like an episode of Survivor. 🤺

Years ago, my sister and I took a road trip from California and drove cross-country to spend Thanksgiving with friends on the East Coast.

And we thought… why not go to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while we’re here?

Sounds dreamy, right? 🥰

Nope.

It was icy cold. 🥶

It was packed shoulder to shoulder. 😧

People were pushing, shoving, elbowing for a better view. 🫣

Kids were screaming. 😩

Adults were screaming. 😬

At one point it felt like a cat fight with snowballs disguised as confetti. 😲

I lasted maybe at most 20 minutes before ducking into a McDonald’s to defrost with a cup of hot cocoa... ☕
𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩, 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵. 😂

But here’s the funny thing about that experience…

For years, that parade reminded me of the chaos we get sucked into with all the “holiday hype.” 😏

🛑 Everyone is pushing.
🛑 Everyone is rushing.
🛑 Everyone is fighting for something they don’t actually want. 🙄

And the stuff that truly matters gets lost somewhere in all that noise and chaos.

But...

There is always an upside in those moments, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘢. ☺️

Like...
🧡 The warmth.
🧡 The simplicity.
🧡 The clarity.

Those are the moments that ground you and you have to take them when you can and however way you can, even if it's just a cup of hot cocoa. 😋

That’s what Thanksgiving actually is for me now. 🦃

So in the spirit of the season this year...

Instead of adding to the noise I’m giving you the exact opposite of a chaotic, pushy Black Friday moment.

⚠️ No rushing.
⚠️ No shoving.
⚠️ No screaming.
⚠️ No “50% OFF (but not really stuff).”

If 2026 need that type of space and structure, and not another crowded parade of modules and videos, comment BLACK CARD and I’ll send the details way.

And...

🔮 The modules sat in your hard drive taking up space.
🔮 Your notebook filled with half-written frameworks.
🔮 Your feed stayed quiet with not movement.
🔮 Leads did not come in as expected.

End result... You start to wonder if you were the problem. (I know I did when I was in that situation. 🤨)

But here is the shift you're looking for.

Authority is not taught with modules and videos.

𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁!

⇉ day-by-day with focused...

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: The Authority Lab™ trades modules for clear direction and videos for guided implementation.

✅ Weekly direction so you never guess.
✅ Weekly accountability so you never hide.
✅ Weekly refinement so your voice sharpens.
✅ A weekly rhythm that compounds into Authority the algorithm cannot ignore.

Clarity on Monday. → Momentum by Friday.
Fifty-two micro wins that stack into one category-leading Authority Brand ➡️ 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦!

🙌 Imagine knowing the exact move for each week of 2026.
🙌 Imagine twelve months where support cancels out confusion.

Entrepreneurship is becoming a professional skill set, but → 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿.

You see, I was recently featured in LinkedIn News, and one section of their report instantly clarified what’s really happening in the market right now: 

Professionals aren’t just starting small businesses. → 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Why? Because...
The job market is unpredictable.
AI is reshaping skills at record speed.
And more people want control of their income, opportunities, and future.

But here’s what most new founders and independent experts miss...

Skill alone doesn’t create demand. → 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀.

If you really want to thrive in 2026, you need:
✔ An Authority Brand
✔ Clear positioning
✔ Real visibility
✔ A system that turns expertise into opportunity

The entrepreneur economy: Why small business is becoming a top career move

Here's a quiet truth I’ve learned about LinkedIn... 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

→ They read.
→ They reflect.
→ They save posts.
→ They watch silently.
→ And they only reach out when something truly lands.

If that’s you, then I want to speak to you for a moment.

From my vantage point, you’re not being quiet because you lack expertise. You’re quiet because:

• You lead with depth, not noise
• You don’t want to perform to be seen
• You value clarity over constant content
• You’re intentional about how you show up

But here’s the tension I see in so many coaches, consultants, and founders who operate this way...

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 2026 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘶𝘮, 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦… 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵.

If that’s what’s been sitting on your mind lately, I’d love to know... 👉 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲?

You can comment if you want, but you don’t need to. A private message works just as well. 😊

P.S. If this resonates, send me the word 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗘𝗧, and I’ll share something with you privately. No pressure. Just clarity

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻. 😲

You can have the best content in your niche…
You can post consistently, comment daily, and still be invisible. 👀

But the problem isn’t your visibility. → 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁.

Here’s the truth most coaches don’t want to hear:

👉 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Your posts might be interesting, but if they’re not anchored in a clear position, they float right past your buyers.

And that’s the difference between being seen and being sought out. 😍

When I finally codified my 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮™ and started leading with context, I saw the shift:

🙌 My message clicked.
🙌 My audience recognized it.
🙌 LinkedIn News tapped me to contribute 3x 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩.

Not luck. Not louder posts.  Just clarity that converts.

📰 This week’s issue of 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 dives deep into this exact shift... 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯.

Context Is Everything: How to Make Your Authority Obvious

𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 ≠ 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻. 😲

95% of leadership & executive coaches mistake busyness for business.

Stop spinning your wheels and follow these 9 steps so you can fill your calendar faster.

1️⃣ 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 when it’s not backed by Authority.
→ (You don’t need more eyeballs... you do need the right eyeballs.)

2️⃣ Posts, comments, DMs → All roads must lead to one place: 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
→ (No call booked means no cash booked.)

3️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮™ = (B + O + C) × (Exe) / T.
Branding + Optimization + Content, multiplied by Engagement on 3 levels, divided by Time.
→ (Master the math and you'll print the receipts.)

4️⃣ Your profile is not a résumé. It’s a sales page wearing 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗿.
→ (Rewrite it until it says “𝘐’𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥" not “I’m available”)

5️⃣ Content ≠ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆.
Content is your commercial. Each line in your post should elevate Positioning, Proof, or Perspective.
→ (If it does none of the three, delete it and start again.)

6️⃣ Vanity metrics feel good, but 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
Track three KPIs only: Profile Traffic, Engagement Quality, Conversion Flow = DM to Deal™.
→ (Quality > Quantity, every single day that ends in “y” 😉)

7️⃣ Comment like an 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, not as amateur.
Level up your comments with Insights → Relationships → Invitations → Invoices.
→ (In that exact order 😊)

8️⃣ The fastest way to 𝟮𝘅 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀?

Remember these two things:
✅ Busy on LinkedIn ≠ Cash in your pocket.
✅ Do what matters, not what’s convenient.

So...
👉 Save this post.
👉 Read it every day.
👉 Implement one line per week.

Then, your LinkedIn “activity” will turn into LinkedIn income quicker than you can say “𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥.” → (a.k.a. Cha-ching) 🫶

Okay so… last night I went to a masquerade birthday party for someone very dear to me, and LISTEN... your girl had fun. 💃🏽

The moment my friend called and invited me, I told her “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵.”

That’s commitment. And because of that commitment, I got to experience pure joy, old friends reuniting, new friendships started, gratitude, and life happening in real time. 😍

But I want you to get this one thing… none of it would’ve happened if I hadn’t made the commitment first. 🤔

There is power in making a commitment because:
👉 Commitment creates unforgettable moments.
👉 Commitment creates real relationships.
👉 Commitment creates lasting results.

But it also reminded me of something important.. you cannot get the full experience of anything without giving full commitment. 

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥𝘐𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.

I committed to being there and because of that simple commitment, I experienced joy, connection, reconnection, and growth.

Everything good that happened was downstream of the commitment... “𝘐’𝘮 𝘪𝘯.”

Building your Authority Brand takes that type of commitment... “𝘐’𝘮 𝘪𝘯.”

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 → 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 → 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Because at some point, your future has to stop waiting for permission… and start changing with commitment. 💛

P.S. If you’re feeling that nudge like the one I felt when I said “𝘐’𝘮 𝘪𝘯” then maybe this is your moment too. 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀™ into the Authority Lab™ is open, but only for the ones who are ready to commit to a different 2026 on LinkedIn.

If you know you’re ready to step out of hiding and into your Authority on LinkedIn... this is my personal invitation to you. Check out the link in the first comment. And then 𝗗𝗠 𝗜'𝗠 𝗜𝗡 when you've made the commitment. 💛

If LinkedIn has felt a little “off” lately, you’re not imagining it. 🙄

After the noise of Thanksgiving → Black Friday → Cyber Monday…

A lot of brilliant coaches and consultants are quietly asking themselves:

“𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥?”

Great question. 🤔

Here’s the real reason... and it’s not the algorithm:
➡️ Observation creates inspiration.
➡️ Proximity creates results.

And most experts stay stuck in observation mode far longer than they realize.

✅ Watching the wins.
✅ Saving frameworks.
✅ Collecting inspiration.
✅ Studying the testimonials.
✅ Trying to reverse-engineer what they see…

…but never stepping inside the environment that actually produced those results. 😮

This week’s Authority Traction™ Newsletter goes deep into this divide and why 2026 will reward the those experts who step into proximity, not the one who hustles harder from the sidelines.

If you’ve been feeling “almost there,” “circling the same goal,” or “watching others pass you,” this one will hit home.

📰 Read the full newsletter: 𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙒𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮. 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡.

And then ask yourself the question that changes everything ⤵️ 

“𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥?”

Observation Won’t Build Your Authority. Proximity Will.

Paramount’s hostile bid to snatch Warner Bros out of Netflix’s hands isn’t just media drama... it’s a global masterclass in 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, and 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

What we're seeing play out here isn’t entertainment. It’s a live demonstration of 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and at the highest level.

Because here’s the subtle nuances as play:
→ When giants fight, 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲.
→ When titans battle for power, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.
→ When power players move, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁.
→ When narratives clash, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀.

Paramount and Netflix aren’t fighting over movies.

They’re fighting over 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

Distribution → 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯
Narrative → 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘥
Influence → 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥
Perception → 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯

Executives, founders, CEOs/CMOs, consultants & coaches... here’s where this hits home for you:

👉 When power consolidates, the market becomes ruthless.
👉 Those without a fortified presence get absorbed or ignored.
👉 Those with structural Authority rise faster than anyone predicts.

This is exactly what you'll see happening on LinkedIn heading into 2026.

You’re not competing against peers anymore. 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Your capability is NOT the variable.
Your signal is.
Your narrative is.
Your visibility system is.

Paramount didn’t attack because they needed attention. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆.
And that’s the real lesson.

You see, Authority isn’t earned. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱. 
𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘭𝘺. 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

In 2026, the leaders who win will be the ones who:
✔ Control their narrative
✔ Shape their own visibility
✔ Build a presence that commands respect
✔ Stop waiting for the room to choose them
✔ Fortify their Authority before the market shifts

And let's be real... in times of power wars, undefended brands get erased. Architected ones rise.

Hmmm. I think my next post will have a Game of Thrones theme. I'm feeling that, how about you?

P.S. If you want to see how your Authority Brand can be architected to elevate you in this new "Authority" era… shoot me a DM with the word 𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 and I’ll send you access to my private briefing. 💛

☕️𝗔 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁... #SundayMusings

So, I was scrolling through my DMs this morning (terrible habit, I know 🙄) and saw THREE different coaches all crying the blues and saying basically the same thing:

"𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴... 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴... 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨'𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦..."

And honestly? It made my heart hurt a little. 🥹

Because here's what I'm seeing everywhere right now on LinkedIn.

Coaches and consultants stuck in the 𝗵𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽 thinking that if they just...

👉 Post MORE... 
👉 Show up MORE...
👉 Hustle a bit HARDER...

Then something will magically happen. 🔮

But let me tell you, 2026 is the year of positioned #Authority, not more #Hustle ... (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘴, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 🤣)

I've been there. 

It was that season where I thought LinkedIn was broken... or I was broken... or SOMETHING was broken... because 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 "𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵" 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴.

Turns out I wasn't broken... LinkedIn wasn't broken... NOTHING was broken... 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 3 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 1. 😬

That was like trying to run a marathon when you haven't even mastered the skill of running around your own neighborhood block 3x. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

But this is the dirty LinkedIn family secret nobody talks about? 🤫

Most of us are solving the wrong problems 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, but wondering why we're on the verge of 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁. 

❌ We're focusing on followers when we should be building systems.
❌ We're optimizing our captions when we should be clarifying our message.
❌ We're chasing algorithms when we should be creating predictable lead flow.

The coaches and consultants who are going to WIN in 2026? 

They're not the ones posting for the sake of posting 5x a day. 

They are the ones who will be 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗘𝗗 by getting:
➡️ Clear in their message
➡️ Structured in their system
➡️ Confident in their Authority

2026 will hit very different when you finally stop fighting uphill and start building your ideal future client pipeline with intention. 😍

Just saying. 💛

P.S. OK, the picture may be a little unrelated, but it was such a beautiful day in Chicago, I had to make a double pumpkin spice run. 🎃

#AuthorityPhase #AuthorityBrandFormula #AuthorityLab #LinkedInStrategy #LeadFlow

Most people think building an Authority Brand means becoming an online performer.

In 2026, the opposite will be true.

The buyers who are looking for depth, clarity, trust, and real expertise aren’t drawn to noise.

They’re drawn to intentional professionals who know who they are — 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺.

That’s the focus of the next 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 on December 5:

𝗔 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 — 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁

We’ll explore:
• What actually builds Authority for introverted or depth-driven experts
• Why “consistent posting” is not the same as visibility
• The elements of a premium, intentional presence
• A live clarity moment for attendees who want it

If you’re planning your 2026 presence and want structure, alignment, and intention behind it, you’re welcome to join us.

If this resonates, let me know and I’ll send you the private invitation.

Visibility isn’t the same as being chosen. 🤨

And that distinction is what separates 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 from 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱. 👀

Here’s what I mean…

You can have thousands of impressions, a steady stream of likes, and even a few people in your DMs and still wonder why the right clients aren’t reaching out.

Because what builds clients, credibility, and cash flow isn’t random visibility… 

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

So what is that?

Authority-Driven Visibility™ is the type of visibility that turns heads and opens doors. 😍

✅ It’s strategic.
✅ It’s structured.
✅ It’s engineered to position you as the obvious choice — 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 ❓ 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦.

It’s when your content, profile, and conversations all say the same thing:
“𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘢𝘮. 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴.”

Who it’s for:
👉 Coaches.
👉 Consultants.
👉 Thought leaders.

The people who’ve done the work — 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 — but are tired of shouting into the algorithm void hoping someone notices what they do and how they help.

Why you should care:
Because the coaches and consultants who get chosen in 2026 won’t be the loudest, they’ll be the clearest.

The ones whose digital footprint signals Authority and 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺.

And that’s what I help you build.

This is exactly what we'll be engineering inside my Authority Lab™ in 2026. 

So if you’re tired of showing up without traction… it might be time to stop chasing visibility and 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. 

Stay tuned because I'll be talking more about this leading up to Black Friday. 👀

Well, it's the first day of the last month of 2025, and so I wanted to share something I don’t talk about often, but... 😏

There was a season where I kept disappearing on LinkedIn. 👻

⛔ Not because I didn’t care.
⛔ Not because I didn’t believe in myself.

But because I didn’t have a rhythm that anchored me in doing what it took to make LinkedIn work.

I’d post… disappear… restart… disappear again. That was my repeating cycle. 

So not good for generating leads or building a pipeline. 🙄

And every time I returned, I felt a bit left behind and getting traction again was a bear. 

It was like I was starting from scratch over and over again, while other people seemed to be operating in their stride.

At some point I had to bite the bullet on this LinkedIn game, so I built something for myself that I realized every coach, consultant, and founder needs ⤵️
✨ A weekly plan
✨ A weekly visibility target
✨ A weekly content direction
✨ A weekly accountability moment
✨ A weekly “do THIS this week” focus
✨ A weekly system that won’t let you drift

That system became 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗯™ — the only structure I’ve ever seen that gives people a predictable Authority rhythm. 🙌

And here's the cool news... Today — 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 — is the ONLY day you can lock in the 2026 rate with a fully credited deposit of just $100. 

Shocking, right. 😮

Yeah, I know. 😂

So, if you want 2026 to be the year you stop disappearing, stop guessing, and finally build an Authority Brand that can show up and stand out on LinkedIn, then drop a “LAB” in the comments and I’ll send you everything.

Or because you are someone who has a need for speed, just check the first comment. 

Bottom line... Your brilliance deserves a system. Not a scramble.

Happy Cyber Monday - Chareen 💛

#AuthorityLab #CyberMonday2025 #ChareenGoodman

I don’t care how many degrees you earned.
I don’t care how many certifications you stacked.
And I don’t care how long your résumé is...

Why? Because in 2026, 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳.

Not because capability doesn’t matter. But because 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Everyone at your level has 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴.
Everyone at your level  has 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.
Everyone at your level 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳.

What separates winners from overlooked professionals next year is simple:

How confidently people interpret you.
How quickly the market understands you.
How unmistakably you differentiate yourself from the others.

Here’s the part most people still miss:
✓ Capability gets you into the arena.
✗ Authority determines who gets the opportunities.

And Authority isn’t something you hope people notice. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿.

That engineering requires structure not "vibes". → 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺

So your audience instantly knows who you are. → 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨

And the right people understand why you matter. → 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺

So your value is unmistakable, not hidden inside paragraphs. → 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦

This is how you become familiar, trusted, and chosen — 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

When even one of these pillars is weak:
– You look interchangeable.
– You sound like everyone else.
– You get evaluated on price, not value.
– Less capable peers become more visible than you.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗪𝗢𝗧 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

If you want next year to look different, your Authority strategy must reset now.

Comment 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗧 or send me a DM saying 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗧 and I’ll send you the private 2026 Authority Briefing.
