During these extra sensitive times (i.e. the coronavirus era), the last thing you want is to feel sleazy and pushy, right? At the same time, you know that you are providing value, and you are a little guilty of asking people to pay for it...

Are you an introvert and in doubt that you can lead powerfully in a loud extroverted world? I know that feeling, because I have been there.

Interestingly, a leader is not someone that’s the loudest in the room, at the front, the strongest, has the title, or ranks above you. These are just societal constructs of what leadership is. Leadership is about influence. It is the ability to influence minds and hearts towards taking action in the right direction.

So, if you have been wondering whether you could ever make it to becoming a great introverted leader, you are going to love the tips that my guest, Teresa Kwon shares today!

Teresa transitioned from being a painfully shy introvert to being an executive leader for change at organizations and boldly addressing thousands of people. She is an award-winning high-impact leadership coach and Growth strategist and Founder of Daringly Great Leadership. Her mission is to redefine leadership for a new generation by raising-up a host of transformational leaders and cultural architects who will re-shape and heal a broken world to be whole and better for the generations to follow.

In a nutshell, we discuss:

• How to embrace your introverted strengths that may be perceived as weaknesses
• Introverted strengths that make introverts better leaders
• Mindset shifts that introverts can make today in order to help them leap into leadership shoes and wear them with pride

And SO much more!

And my special guest on the show today is a perfect example - his name is Matt Hall, and by day he's a conversion copywriter at Kajabi. By night, he combines copy, visual design, and tech to deliver high converting websites at Common People Web Design with his wife.

“…what do I actually say!?!??!” <— does this thought ever plague your mind when you see someone you want to connect with?

You’re covered in this episode my friend!

I have Conversion Copywriter & Naturally Authentic Networker (the latter is his unofficial title) James E Turner - CRO Director of SNAP Copy - on the show with me today, and we’re actually going to be running through 3 different scenarios of meeting people IRL:

• Scenario #1 - Meeting a prolific person who you know (ISH) (this is where he critiques my first time meeting Laura Belgray)
• Scenario #2 - Meeting a prolific person who you don’t know
• Scenario #3 - Meeting a peer, hot or cold style.   

So think of the person you most want to meet at a conference that you might be headed to this year, and try hypothetically applying one of the scenarios to your sitch, and see what happens!

Have you ever wondered how to reach the seemingly unreachable influencers in your space before? (I'm talking about the Marie Forleo's of your industry here). I certainly was curious how to do so as well, and I wanted to learn how to do this in a very genuine way so that it wouldn't be a transactional thing - instead it would be the start of a relationship.

As luck would have it, my special guest today - Peter Kowalke - has shared his insiders journey of connecting with influencers and sustaining the newly formed relationship in a somewhat surprising manner - through content creation!

What the whaaaat? "How is that relevant?" you ask?

Think about it, your influencer of choice became that way because they showed up consistently for their audience to make a difference, come rain or shine. So it's only natural that they'd want to connect with someone who's been in their past shoes, right? And believe it or not, consistent and quality content creation is how you can get there.

But for many of us solopreneurs, the ideas for the content well can become DRY veryyyyyy fast, so how can you easily handle the upkeep without dropping in quality? The answer is inside this episode my friend!

So if you want to feed 2 birds with one scone (mhmm, this version of the phrase is way friendlier to animals!) when it comes to both connecting with influencers AND consistently coming up with new content ideas to continually show up, be sure to tune into this one!
