The omerisms podcast

Today's episode is short and sweet. It's about something Brene Brown shared about a core realization of midlife. And that is that we need to let go of our armor, let go of all the protections we put up. That, in order to become ourselves, we need to become vulnerable.

In today's episode, I recount a Facebook post from the actor Kevin Smith, and something he was told (handed, actually) when he was 19 years old.

It's a lesson that not everyone is always looking out for us, and ultimately, our path forward - our story - is down to us.

From a young age, we're programmed with the idea that we'll grow up to get a job and do our work. But we don't often consider what that means.

Why are we doing what we're doing? What are we trying to achieve? As I discuss in this episode, it has to be about more than the money - whose mission are we serving?

In business environments, surprises are not a good thing, because the main thing we want is predictability.

And the only way we can ensure predictability is for us to do the work necessary. This means both listening and communicating much more than we do, as I discuss in today's episode.

Email has become a necessity in today's business environment - and it's brought us plenty of value and efficiency in both our personal and professional lives.

But email can sometimes also be used as a way to avoid real conversations, to sidestep issues or frankly, to not make the effort. In the long run, this has real consequences, as I discuss in today's episode.

When we're communicating an idea or selling a product, we often think that if we just explain the benefits, people will buy.

When they don't, we lament that they just didn't get it. But maybe we're the ones who didn't get it - because it's not anyone's job to listen, it's our job to make them want to hear us, as I discuss in today's podcast.

In the last episode, I talked about how everyone has a platform and how that can be a good thing.

But having a platform isn't for everyone, as it comes with a set of responsibilities around what we say and how we say it. Today's show speaks to some of what I believe are the ground rules for establishing your own platform.

Many of us believe we have a message to share, in one domain or another, and many of us long to actually share it.

Today's episode speaks to the fact that we all now have a platform to say, write and otherwise communicate, anything we want. But wanting to and doing so are two different things, and the discussion today focuses on that inner dialogue.

Today's podcast focuses on the idea of owning our messages.

In any work we do, we're called upon to present our ideas and findings in front of an audience. Often, we feel compelled to "do what we're told" or to "follow a script". The reality is that we need to own what we present, no matter our level. In this podcast, I discuss how.
