This Is Why I Meet People In-Person

In today’s digital age, it’s easy to rely on virtual communication for networking. However, there’s an undeniable value to in-person meetings that goes beyond a video call. In this episode of The Daily Hint, I share my recent experience at a trade fair and how face-to-face interaction elevated my networking to the next level.

Meeting in person creates a deeper, more meaningful connection, which is often missing in digital interactions. Personal meetings allow for richer engagement, building trust and rapport that can be carried forward into online follow-ups. These interactions aren’t just about exchanging business cards but about forming real, lasting bonds that open doors for future opportunities.

If you’re looking to advance your career or expand your network, I encourage you to prioritize physical meetings when possible. They can lead to stronger relationships, giving you an edge in the digital world by enhancing the quality of your professional connections. It’s not about replacing digital interactions but about using both strategically to nurture long-term relationships.

In-person networking is a game changer. It’s a powerful tool in creating loops that support ongoing collaboration, trust, and mutual growth in a professional setting. Listen to this episode to explore how integrating more personal meetings into your networking routine can provide a lasting impact on your career.

We Need to Believe to Make The Difference

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we delve into a concept that is fundamental yet often overlooked: belief. Whether it’s in your career, personal life, or leadership journey, belief is the foundation for making a lasting impact.

Belief isn’t just about thinking positively; it’s about aligning your mind, heart, and gut. When these three elements work in harmony, you can unlock your full potential and achieve things you once thought impossible. However, many of us struggle with self-doubt, engaging in internal conversations that undermine our confidence. If you’re not convinced of your worth or your ability to succeed, your unconscious mind will follow suit.

The key takeaway? Success starts with self-belief. It’s about creating a mindset where you not only recognize your worth but also tap into it consistently. By finding daily reminders and triggers, you can strengthen this belief and stay aligned with who you are and what you want to achieve.

Tune in to this episode to explore practical steps for cultivating self-belief and setting yourself up for success—every day.

Getting Paid for Keynotes is Not That Difficult

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we dive into the straightforward approach to securing paid keynote speaking engagements. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not as difficult as it seems—especially if you have a system in place.

Here’s how it works: The foundation of my process lies in consistently creating and repurposing content. I start by producing daily videos, like the ones you see on my social media platforms. But I don’t stop there. These videos are transformed into podcast episodes and YouTube videos, ensuring my message reaches diverse audiences.

The real magic happens when I take these pieces of content and turn them into blog posts. Why? Because blog posts live forever, enhancing my SEO presence and increasing discoverability. These posts are optimized for search engines, making it easier for people to find me and my work.

And it’s not just humans searching—I also leverage the power of AI and large language models like ChatGPT, which rely on that searchable content. This creates an ongoing cycle where my visibility grows, and opportunities for paid keynotes come knocking.

The takeaway? If you want to get paid for your keynotes, focus on consistency and content repurposing. Build a system that works for you, and the results will follow.

Tune in to learn more about how you can build your own system to start landing paid speaking gigs today.

How a Bad Manager is Ruining the Business

Poor leadership is more than just an inconvenience; it’s a direct threat to business success. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we dive deep into the real-world impact of bad managers and why they remain a persistent problem, even as we approach 2025.

When I ask audiences at my keynotes, “Who has had a bad manager?” the response is overwhelming: 90% of people raise their hands. How is it that in an age where we understand the importance of leadership, so many organizations are still plagued by poor management?

The solution lies in leadership that focuses on empowering others. Good leaders step back and allow their team to shine. They invest in growth, encourage innovation, and prioritize the development of their people. In contrast, bad managers often stifle creativity, demotivate employees, and ultimately hurt the business.

This episode explores what makes bad managers so damaging, the reasons why poor leadership still exists, and most importantly, what can be done to change the game. If we focus on leadership that empowers, supports, and elevates, businesses will thrive, and the era of bad managers will come to an end.

Tune in and learn how you can make a difference, whether you’re a manager yourself or just starting your leadership journey.

Highlights:

00:00 The Impact of Bad Managers

00:02 Audience Insights on Bad Management

00:09 The Prevalence of Bad Managers

How I Nurture My Network

Building and nurturing a professional network is one of the most valuable skills you can develop. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we dive into the power of a strong network and how it can shape your career. I’ve learned over the past 20 years that a network is more than just a collection of contacts—it’s a symbiotic relationship where both parties benefit.

The key takeaway? You must invest in your network daily to see the true return. I share a simple, actionable method to grow your network: reach out to five people you know every day. Then, the next day, connect with five others. This habit, done consistently over time, transforms your network into a valuable asset you can rely on when you need support, insights, or opportunities.

Nurturing your network isn’t just about numbers; it’s about fostering meaningful relationships. As your network grows, so does your net worth, both professionally and personally. Listen to the full episode to get the step-by-step breakdown of how to turn networking into a daily habit that fuels your career success.

This is What Happened When I Took Screenshots of the 10 Social Media Profiles

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, I dive into a strategy I use regularly to help clients connect more effectively with decision-makers on LinkedIn. By taking screenshots of 10 social media profiles of key figures in a target company, patterns start to emerge. These patterns may include how they present themselves, how they communicate their professional identity, and even subtleties in their appearance.

What’s the significance of these patterns? It’s all about psychology. When you mirror aspects of how these decision-makers present themselves, you increase the likelihood of connecting with them more quickly and effectively. This strategy taps into the concept of familiarity and rapport-building through subtle visual and communicative cues.

The process is simple, but the impact is profound. I break down step-by-step how you can apply this technique, whether you’re looking to land a new role or turn potential clients into long-term partners. Tune in to discover how a few screenshots can change the way you approach LinkedIn and transform your professional networking results.

This is Why We Have to Interact Across Silos in Organizations

In today’s fast-paced business world, teamwork is more than just managing your immediate team—it’s about fostering collaboration across the entire organization. This episode of The Daily Hint explores why breaking down silos is crucial for organizational success in 2024 and beyond.

Many companies still operate in silos, where teams remain disconnected from each other. However, as more organizations shift toward specialized roles, the need for horizontal collaboration has become vital. By facilitating interaction across departments, leaders can ensure faster decision-making, stronger innovation, and more adaptable teams.

In this episode, you’ll learn how leaders can create a more collaborative environment by encouraging communication between specialists across the organization. This not only improves organizational efficiency but also appeals to top talent, who seek workplaces that offer opportunities for growth and connection.

Tune in to discover why fostering cross-team interaction is the key to staying competitive and how this simple shift can impact your organization’s long-term success.

Since I Know What I Stand For My Personal Brand Thrives

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we explore the essential connection between self-awareness and personal branding. If you’re unclear about what you stand for, it’s likely that others are too. And that lack of clarity can prevent you from reaching your full potential, both in your career and in life.

The episode highlights how, for years, I wasn’t fully clear about what I stood for in the way I communicated with my audience. While I had a strong sense of my personal mission, I wasn’t sharing it effectively, and this held me back. This is a common issue many professionals face. We assume people understand what we offer, but unless we articulate it clearly, it’s unlikely they do.

The main takeaway? If you’re not intentional about communicating your values, no one will understand what sets you apart. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone looking to thrive in their personal brand. It’s time to define your values, communicate them with clarity, and ensure that people know exactly what to expect from you. When you’re clear, others will be, too—and that’s when real growth happens.

Listen to this episode to learn how clarity in your personal brand can propel you forward, opening up new opportunities and strengthening your professional relationships.

Highlights:

00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Knowing What You Stand For

00:05 Personal Reflection: My Journey to Clarity

00:12 Communication: Conveying Your Stand to Others

Why I Deliver Keynotes for The Audience, Not for Myself

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, I delve into the approach I take when delivering keynotes, and why focusing on the audience—not the speaker—leads to greater success.

Keynotes should provide value to the people in the room, not just showcase the speaker’s knowledge. This is why I always start with a discovery phase. When I’m asked to give a keynote, I conduct an interview to understand who will be attending and what their needs are. Knowing the audience is critical to crafting a message that resonates with them.

By focusing on delivering value to the audience, the keynote becomes a more engaging and meaningful experience. Audience members who find your message valuable are not only more interested in what you have to say, but they’re also more likely to seek out further collaboration or partnerships.

This episode covers the key strategies for transforming a keynote from a personal showcase into an opportunity to serve your audience. Whether you’re an aspiring speaker or a seasoned professional, these tips can help you connect on a deeper level with your audience and increase your impact.

Tune in to learn how a simple shift in perspective can make a big difference in your next presentation!

Here is How I Measure My Personal Brand

In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we explore the critical importance of measuring your personal brand. It’s easy to get distracted by vanity metrics like likes, comments, and followers, but these don’t necessarily translate into real opportunities such as keynote speaking gigs, new clients, or career promotions.

The key takeaway? Likes aren’t the right metric. Jens compares it to gaining likes on TikTok: while it might boost your social presence, it doesn’t necessarily open doors to meaningful business success.

Instead, Jens advises focusing on measurable steps in your personal funnel—understanding how your audience interacts with your brand and how these interactions convert into real outcomes. You'll get a clearer picture of your brand's impact by tracking the right numbers and paying attention to metrics like engagement from potential clients or inquiries about speaking opportunities.

Whether you’re aiming for a new job, a promotion, or scaling your personal business, it’s time to rethink how you measure personal branding success. This episode offers actionable insights on how to move away from surface-level metrics and align your efforts with real growth. Listen in and start tracking what truly matters for your personal and professional development.
