Brave Feminine Leadership

#227 Melissa Hamilton - Why You Can't Explain Your Value (And How to Fix It)


Listen Later

Can you clearly articulate the value you create - not just what you do?

Most leaders can't. They default to listing their responsibilities, their achievements, their resume. But that's not what gets you the next opportunity, inspires your team, or proves you're essential.
This week, I challenged a room of senior leaders with three questions that have defined my success at every phase, from my first role to leading 5,000 people globally to navigating the terrifying transition that came next.


These same three questions will change how you position yourself, lead your team, and move forward:
What's the true value you bring right now?
How do you make the work matter—and if you can't, why are you doing it?
If you're a product, what's your relevance to where you're going next?


If you've ever struggled to explain why you're essential, why your work matters, or how to position yourself for what's next - this episode will give you the clarity you need.
