Discover your brand’s value and Grow
“In 1980 virtually the entire market capitalization of the S&P 500 companies consisted of tangible assets (cash, offices, plants, equipment, inventories,etc.). In 2010 tangible assets accounted for only 40 to 45 % of the S&P 500 companies’ market capitalization. The rest of their capitalization consisted of intangible asset, and about half of that- more than 30 percent of total market capitalization- came from brand. The growth in the importance of brand value over the last thirty years is unmistakable. Brand value is now most companies’ single biggest asset, and the consequence is that business leadership and brand leadership are converging in every industry and every sector of the economy. The world’s best companies have responded to this by ensuring that they bring together business leadership and brand leadership in the C-suite throughout their organizations.
In short, businesses are now only as strong as their brands, and nothing else offers business leaders so much potential leverage. That is why I believe every business leader – whether you are selling cars, chemicals, or cosmetics- needs to think and act like a brand leader.” Quote from Jim Stengel from his latest book Grow.
About two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a book-signing event by Mr. Stengel. As a businessman and a coach, I believe that the point that he is making about importance of brand is essential and crucial for all business leaders to be aware of and to pay special attention. In the digital age, your number one concern should be your reputation and brand. Business leaders must start to attend necessary resources such as learning, accountability, and money to their brand building process.

Are You Repelling or Attracting Your Audience?
As entrepreneurs, public speakers, and people who want to share their message with with world, it is vital to the success of our businesses that we attract potential clients and business partners. Women in the coaching world especially want to connect with other women to inspire them and help them to transform their lives and their businesses. Sometimes a person can want to connect so badly and so urgently that they unintentionally repel the people they are meant to help and even unconsciously push them away.
This weekend, I offered a workshop titled, “The Body, Breath, and Voice of Success: Own the Room!” During the workshop, I had the participants stand in front of their audience, their fellow participants, and identify what they do with their bodies when they speak about their businesses.
Everyone was surprised to discover how tempting it is to lean in towards the audience in the attempt to connect with them. This physical response to being in front of an audience is quite common and it also requires the legs muscles to tighten, the knees to lock, the lower back to grip, and the neck muscles to clench. With all of this tension, it’s more difficult to breathe and the voice is either scratchy sounding or high-pitched. Not very attractive.

The Future of Business Is Not Linear, It’s Organic
The future of business will depend upon creativity.
The time that took us to go from being hunters and gathers to the industrialization was over five thousand years; however, the scientific revolution to information age took only 30 years to happen, and we went from the information age to digital age overnight.
The digital age is deeply organic and not linear. Just because industrialization forced us to organize and create an educational industry to secure a future that can be certain does not mean that this way of being will serve us now. In fact if the success story of a few young innovators such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg is any indication, the future of humans and business will depend upon creative individuals who clearly do not need multiple Ph. D.’s to have an impact or revolutionize our lives. Yet most schools and businesses still take a very industrial approach to their operations.
