255: Stop Hiding Behind Your Expertise: How Leaders Get Seen

Your expertise is not what gets you chosen. Being seen is. Janine Jakob, founder of Full Potential Partners and TEDx speaker, explains why the client picks the well-branded leader.

Janine spent seven years at Hewlett-Packard before building her own coaching company in China. She and Chris get into why so many leaders hide behind their title and their expertise, how tall poppy syndrome keeps Australians quiet about what they have achieved, and what staying invisible really costs over the next year or two.

Then the practical part: why a podcast is a sales and relationship strategy rather than a follower count, what Janine learned running a 31-day live podcast challenge (including the streaming mistake that cost her video quality), and the smallest first step for a leader starting from zero. Chris's take: if polish is the bottleneck, pull out your phone and start documenting.
