Did you know that there are just three levels of authority?
Let’s find out what level you are on.
Level 1: Heard But Not Understood.
This is the level where you know your facts, present them, but convince absolutely nobody.
Why?
Too much jargon.
You give people barely a moment to register what you said.
You make zero eye contact and sound like Google.
Level 2: People take you seriously, but you can’t make an impact.
Picture this, you have 2 decades of experience in your industry. Top of your game, but the reason there is no impact is because:
You are too image-conscious to be vulnerable.
You focus on what’s valuable to you rather than what the audience cares about.
Let’s admit it, all that experience comes with a bit of ego.
Level 3: You are understood, followed and admired.
The life of the party, charismatic, and owning every room you walk into. That’s your reality at level 3 of the authority game.
You don’t speak to inform, you speak to make a real difference, be it a business deal, a toast to a friend, or a fun team outing.
How?
It’s because you don’t obsess over what other people think about you.
You can capture emotions in your sentences.
Your presentations take your audience on a journey instead of looking like a Wikipedia page.
