  • Positive Thought Leadership about Your Potential
    Sep 20 2024
    What if the magic behind the Cinderella story isn't a prince and a fairy godmother but rather strategies for tapping into our potential? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney, talks with guest and published author Joanna Bloor about her book, Tales of Potential: The Cinderella Story You Haven't Heard. Bloor, who examines how things work behind the scenes, discusses her experience of writing a book that presents a different perspective on potential and future. She describes how she overcame initial reluctance to put her ideas on paper, resulting in a work representing her viewpoint and contributing to thought leadership in the field. Bloor and McKinney explore various elements of the Cinderella story that Bloor uses to illustrate her ideas about realizing one's potential. These include Cinderella's interaction with her fairy godmother, which Bloor interprets as a demonstration of holding one's own in front of a powerful figure, and the intentionally left-behind glass slipper, which she views as a marketing technique. Bloor discusses the importance of having a supportive squad and a decision-making "hive-mind," drawing parallels to collaborative efforts in achieving goals. By reframing these familiar story elements, Bloor presents an alternative way to consider personal narratives and potential futures, offering her perspective on what thought leadership entails and outlining marketing strategies for personal branding. "When you're sharing a story about yourself or your ideas," Bloor states, "You're blind to any other version of it." If you still need to grasp the best growth strategy framework to accelerate your career, your best marketing strategies have failed, or you need LinkedIn profile tips to help you get noticed, this is the episode for you! Joanna explains that the initial part of writing your own story, changing the narrative, and having your happy ending has to start with a bit of self-exploration. In fact, she urges everyone to start by finding out how people are describing you in the rooms where you are not present. Listen to her TWO-WORD EXERCISE, which is the best way to unlock your future.
