Think About What You Speak About.
Hi there! Welcome to this edition of our newsletter, where we are exploring the bold argument that it's not your title, but your topics that define you. 💬 What topic did you talk about most this week?
***
Your title doesn't define you.
What truly defines you is what you consistently speak about, share insights on, advocate for, and write about.
People remember your voice and your ideas far longer than they remember your job title.
In fact, studies show that over 60% of professionals say they form perceptions of colleagues based on what they speak up about in meetings and forums, not what’s on their business card.
🎯 Want to shift your brand from powerhouse executor to trusted strategist?
Ask yourself:
* What strategic conversations did I contribute to this week?
* Which strategy concepts did I help shape, brainstorm, or champion?
* What steering committees, working groups, or think tanks did I say yes to joining?
* Who did I intentionally connect with to learn from their strategic thinking?
We all have choices, small and large, that shape how others see us.
⚠️ What choice will you make today that will influence how you show up next week?
That's all for this week's edition. We hope you found it inspiring and informative. As always, we're eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Until next time, keep shaping opportunities and making a difference!
In your corner,
Janine
