The most valuable investment one can make is in themselves, as it provides the highest return. Unlike other investments, investing in oneself allows for control over the process and outcome. Developing leadership skills and acquiring knowledge in various areas are key aspects of this self-investment.
Successful leaders share some common traits, such as a growth and learning mindset, gratitude, and being gentle with themselves. They constantly seek knowledge, appreciate their blessings, and are not overly self-critical. These characteristics work in harmony to create effective leaders.
Developing a personal brand involves understanding the image others have when connecting your name, specific skills, and reputation. Evaluating one's current brand and determining if it aligns with their desired image is crucial. Additionally, focusing on essential skills and identifying the reputation one wants to cultivate are key steps in building a strong personal brand.
One of the main ideas discussed in the podcast is the importance of being honest and maintaining a strong reputation. The speaker emphasizes that reputation can vary in different areas of life, but it is crucial to prioritize honesty and strive to improve reputation in all aspects. The speaker shares a personal example of having a strong reputation as a speaker but a weaker online reputation. They highlight the need to be honest and acknowledge areas that need improvement, especially when it comes to delivering consistent value to the audience. They emphasize the importance of building a website as a resource rather than a promotional tool, to provide more value to the audience.
Another key point discussed in the podcast is the excitement and thrill that comes with public speaking. The speaker describes the adrenaline rush of being on stage and the responsibility of delivering valuable content to the audience. They challenge the common belief that introverts cannot be effective leaders or speakers, highlighting the importance of curiosity and a growth mindset. The speaker shares their personal experience of being thrust into a leadership position as a quarterback and how it shaped their understanding of leadership. They also discuss the significance of continuously learning and exploring new experiences, like traveling, to enhance personal growth.
Episode 068: Joey Coleman – What Is Your Personal Brand?
This is a special episode for me as I’ve been fortunate to get to know Joey over the last month and he’s become a great friend. I had the distinct pleasure of attending a professional development workshop recently where Joey was the facilitator/speaker/lead engager. It was the best 2 and a half day training event I have ever been to in my life. And Joey is the best presenter I’ve ever seen. This conversation was incredible and I really appreciate how honest, transparent, and truly helpful Joey is. A huge thank you to Jayson Gaignard (from episode 001) for introducing me to Joey.
