[Downloadable Freebie] Are you holding onto feedback you don’t know what to do with?

You’ve been receiving feedback your whole life, right? As a kid growing up in your parents’ house…→ “your room’s a mess,” “don’t climb on that!” As a student going through years of schooling…→ “raise your hand,” “pay attention.” At your first, second, third job…→ “do it this way,” “be more concise,” “be more assertive,” “I’m…

True Story. It was about five minutes into my favorite yoga class (taught by the beautiful Emma Poole). We had chanted our “ohms” and Emma’s zen voice began guiding us through our flow, when all of a sudden, the FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AT FULL BLAST. I instantly fell out of my downward dog and…

How to land your message like no one else can

Here’s the truth. No one will ever say it quite like you. Because no one has, or ever will have, your exact history. No one holds your specific combination of values.

How would the people who know you best describe you?(Required)

You’re perceptive, quick-witted, incredibly caring, and love to make others laugh. You’re always keeping things fun and interesting because you, yourself, hate feeling bored.

You’re very in tune with yourself and those around you. You’re super empathetic and wise. You’re both supportive and assertive— a natural leader and partner.

You tell it like it is and never beat around the bush. You’re logical, analytical, and you’re exceptional at learning things quickly.

You are sensitive, creative and one-of-a-kind. You have a knack for challenging people to “zoom out” and see the big picture while simultaneously challenging the status quo.

Which GIF describes how you usually feel just before a high stakes situation, like presenting to an important group?(Required)

Which GIF describes how you WANT to feel just before a nerve-wracking conversation or presentation?(Required)

You have an idea for how to solve an issue your team has been dealing with. What’s holding you back from sharing it?(Required)

I want to look at all our data first. I don’t wanna propose a solution if it’s half-baked, that’d be a waste of everyone’s time...

I know this is a solid idea, but I’m worried it will be written off as “unrealistic.”

I need to think of a clever way to pitch this, so that people are genuinely excited about the idea.

I’m worried I might step on some toes or offend people by proposing this.

Think of your current professional goal—maybe you want to lock in a promotion, land a job that’s more aligned with your values, or grow your own thriving business! Which of the following “tracks” is playing on a loop in your mind?(Required)

I know I have what it takes, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to articulate myself clearly enough on the fly to convince people of my credibility.

If I go for this, I’d really be putting myself out there and I’m afraid I won’t be taken seriously.

The vision in my head is crystal clear, but I'm worried that I don't have the time or influence to achieve it in the way I'd like to.

I need to research and prepare more. If I don’t have everything mapped out, I’ll open myself up to unnecessary risk.

Which frustrating piece of feedback have you received about your communication?(Required)

“You seem stiff— can you ditch the script and trust that you know what you’re talking about?”

“You seem nervous - try to own what you’re saying more.”

“Your delivery feels scattered and “rambly,” which makes it hard to track your core message.”

“You’re getting stuck in the weeds - help us understand why this is important in the grand scheme of things.”

What do you want to be *known for* professionally?(Required)

I want to be known for driving innovation and inspiring people to work toward a common purpose.

I want to be known as a go-to source for clear, reliable information—someone who’s adept at keeping everyone on-track and in-the-know.

I want to be known for empowering people and creating a safe space for them to be true to who they are.

I want to be known for lifting people’s spirits and making our work together something we’re all excited (rather than obligated) to do.
