To change the world with your ideas, don't be an expert.
Be a human.
We need YOU.
You, who sees the world for what it could be.
You, who leads with empathy.
You, who is ready to dig deeper to reach higher heights.
Your ideas are making waves.
The New York Times, Harvard Business Review.
But you want more.
More impact.
More influence.
When people wrestle with a challenge, you want colleagues to say, "Oh, you need [insert your name here]; they've battle-tested those ideas."
You have answers to questions people are asking. And yet, the world is a very noisy place with lots of opinions and millions of choices.
To influence our thinking - to become the engine of our imagination - you've got to rise above the noise.
But how?
You don't want to shout.
You want to sing. (Well, not literally)
And...
You need to earn our trust.
Humans trust what they understand and connect with on a regular basis.
Change happens when you engage in dialogue - when you teach people how to think, not just what to do.
That's why, when you're trying to influence decision-makers:
What you say - and how you say it - matters.
"But, wait!" You're thinking. "This isn't about me. It's about my ideas!"
Yes, and.
You could have the most brilliant ideas, the most earth-shattering solutions.
But if we can't connect as human beings - if you don't speak in simple language with heart-felt emotion - we won't listen and your ideas won't gain traction.
It's all about nuance.
Knowledge + empathy = connection.
Connection leads to trust.
Trust is the fuel that spreads ideas.
But watch out - people can smell fake a mile away.
That's why we pull back the curtain, step into your story and up to the microphone of your choice.
Yes, it's scary.
Yes, it's hard to navigate.
But that's why TLM exists.
