• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken. Ooh, so today I want to talk to
• 0:32
  you about how you describe yourself.
• 0:36
  It's an interesting exercise to go through and hadn't thought
• 0:39
  about doing this in a really long time.
• 0:41
  And recently, I was working on updating Social Media stuff and
• 0:45
  Linkedin and all that good stuff and I had to get into describing
• 0:50
  things and I was like, gosh, describing things is such a
• 0:54
  difficult thing for me because I don't like to write descriptions
• 0:58
  for myself and I thought well I can't be the only person It
• 1:00
  doesn't like doing this and then I started asking my friends and
• 1:04
  my clients about it. It's like, okay.
• 1:06
  And I thought this is an interesting exercise for all of
• 1:09
  us because what it teaches us is how far we are disconnected from
• 1:15
  how we describe ourselves. Like we know who we are in our
• 1:18
  head, and we know how we think about ourselves, but that's not
• 1:23
  always the things we want to say out loud, because God knows we
• 1:26
  don't always think the best things about ourselves.
• 1:28
  So when someone asks, It's you like your, who what do you do?
• 1:33
  Do you has attained and how you say it?
• 1:36
  Do you have your one liner? Do you have your, you know, that
• 1:40
  so-called elevator pitch? That's that three second four,
• 1:43
  second, elevator pitch to. And can you follow it up with
• 1:45
  like a 15? Second one?
• 1:47
  Where if they, decide to write up some extra floors with you,
• 1:50
  you can actually pitch them. What you do, what makes you
• 1:53
  different, and your company. And I thought, wow, I think that
• 1:58
  everybody has to have this for themselves because These are the
• 2:01
  ideals we want to live into these are the things that make
• 2:05
  us stand out. And most of us are terrible at
• 2:08
  this description. Most of us don't even have a way
• 2:11
  to to do this description. We just kind of go in this place
• 2:15
  of being, very uneasy about it. We're not sure what to say.
• 2:20
  And even if we are saying something, we're not necessarily
• 2:23
  saying what we really mean, we're kind of stuttering through
• 2:27
  it often and when we stutter through it and we're not, We
• 2:31
  don't feel fresh about it. We don't feel on point with it.
• 2:35
  We don't feel like it's fluid that puts a certain energy out
• 2:38
  and it puts us in a place of disempowerment.
• 2:42
  It doesn't put us at an advantage or in a power
• 2:45
  position. So, as an exercise today, I
• 2:49
  thought, okay, I'm going to work on this myself.
• 2:52
  This is one of my weekend the projects that I'm working on and
• 2:54
  I really want to make sure that it comes out great.
• 2:57
  So I'm looking to revamp this And just fine-tune what I
• 3:03
  already have but putting together some scripts for some
• 3:05
  videos stuff that we're working on, I thought.
• 3:08
  Okay, great. And then I've been a pass it
• 3:11
  along to you guys. So the exercise would be looking
• 3:13
  like this. If you had never met somebody
• 3:16
  before, and you were going to describe who you are, what you
• 3:19
  do, and you were writing an elevator pitch just for yourself
• 3:23
  your personality, what you do, how you do it.
• 3:26
  Whichever one you want to choose or all of the above, you sit
• 3:29
  down and you start scripting it out.
• 3:31
  And Saying, how do I, how do I want to influence Somebody by
• 3:34
  this? So if someone asks me you know
• 3:38
  what is it that you do? Do I just say, oh, I'm a coach
• 3:41
  or I'm a life coach? No, I don't.
• 3:43
  Because that sounds. Now when I first started out
• 3:46
  with it that sounded like nobody knew what the hell it was and so
• 3:49
  many years ago and then it became well everybody was doing
• 3:52
  it so it didn't sound like it was anything interesting.
• 3:55
  And I do feel that what I do is beyond that.
• 3:57
  So I started focusing on the fact that I'm a creative
• 4:01
  strategy. Adjust.
• 4:02
  And that I am a master mindset coach.
• 4:05
  So, and I can use the word Master because I have over
• 4:08
  40,000 hours in coaching. So in that, if someone says so,
• 4:14
  what is it that you do? When I meet them?
• 4:16
  I'm creative strategist and a master mindset.
• 4:18
  Coach really tell me like, what is it that you do?
• 4:21
  How do you do that in? Like, well, I basically tell
• 4:23
  people help people figure out how to get from where they are
• 4:27
  to where they want to be. So I thought I'd share that
• 4:30
  little line. With you because over the years
• 4:32
  that little line, I help people get from where they are to where
• 4:35
  they want to be, has really been one of the greatest sales lines
• 4:39
  that I've ever come up with because people go oh well, I
• 4:43
  need that because I'm stuck or God knows I need to have a
• 4:46
  conversation with you because I'm lost and I don't know where
• 4:49
  I'm going and it kind of came out by accident one day.
• 4:54
  While I was at a live event, talking to a client that was at
• 4:58
  our back table and I just blurted it out.
• 5:01
  I have no recollection of where it came from, I don't know.
• 5:04
  If I heard it repeated it made it up but it's always stuck with
• 5:08
  me ever since it came out of my mouth and I feel like it's very
• 5:11
  true, that's what I do. I help people figure out where
• 5:15
  they are and where they want to go and get them from that one
• 5:18
  spot to the other and I think having something like that in
• 5:22
  your own life, that feels good and empowering and gets a
• 5:26
  conversation going because that line always gets a conversation.
• 5:29
  Going is really important. Isn't so your homework today is
• 5:33
  that it's a very simple project but not easy.
• 5:38
  And if you work on it and work on it and practice it and get
• 5:43
  fluid with it, make sure it influences people when they hear
• 5:46
  it or they're intrigued by it, tell me more the outcome of all
• 5:49
  of it is to get to the point where someone says tell me more.
• 5:52
  I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 5:56
  all tomorrow and hopefully by the time you join back, you
• 5:58
  already have your one-liner. All right, I'll see you then.
• 6:01
  Have a blessed day. Bye.

  Have a blessed day. Bye.
