Who’s Your Dan? Copy Chief, Episode 141
Melanie’s contribution to the conversation starts at minute 41
“Embracing our UNIQUENESS is good, and very NECESSARY as entrepreneurs, so we should do it early… and BOLDLY.
It starts with getting comfortable with VULNERABILITY.
Push yourself to do little things that we tend to avoid because they make us uncomfortable.
Perfect example, my friend Melanie Warren (whom I’ve had the privilege of mentoring for 5 years now), joined the Tribute to Dan Kennedy webinar I hosted last Friday.
I asked her the day before and she was a quick, “Yes!”
She’d be joining a panel of A-list celebrity leaders in our industry -, Dean Jackson, Brian Kurtz, David Deutsch, Marcella Allison, Lori Haller – as the lesser known face in the crowd.
Talk about a vulnerable situation!
She showed up 100% “Live Mic Ready” (a practice we use that means looking and sounding pro on mic or camera anytime the situation calls for it)… and did nothing short of steal the show.
Not by being the loudest, or talking the longest, or doing anything over-the-top.
In fact, she probably had the shortest segment, but what she did with her time on the mic stood out because it was “pure Melanie”… pithy, poignant, sincere, and thought provoking. All skills she would not consider “natural” but that she has grown into by putting herself out there and developing them by allowing herself to be vulnerable.”
