“You don’t even necessarily have to have the best ideas, but if you have the most influence, then those are the ideas that are going to win the day.” - Steve Herz

Whether you’re looking for work, worried about remaining competitive and keeping your job during a recession, or trying to reach your highest potential when things start looking up, having the ability to make deep human connections with others is key. That “connectability” is imperative to our personal career success, and today’s Finding Brave guest shares his knowledge on how we can all start developing this attribute.

Steve Herz is Founder of IF Management, President of The Montag Group, and a talent agent for some of the most successful broadcast journalists in the country (at organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc). His new book, Don’t Take Yes For An Answer: Using Authority, Warmth, and Energy to Get Exceptional Results is available now.

If you’re stalling out in your career, it’s most likely because you need to work on your soft skills. It takes authority, warmth, and energy to make real human connections with people. Knowledge, experience, and hard skills are just the minimum requirements now, but you can actually make specific changes to your voice, presence, body language, eye contact and more to turn up your authority, warmth and energy and make the impact you long to.
