The expert in your field
|
Reader, How would it feel to be systematically referred to by clients and partners as an expert in your specific niche? I believe this is the goal every consultant, coach or service provider should have. It might feel intimidating or even impossible at first, but with the right approach, you might realize this role is right up your alley! Here is an inspiring example: Furkan Karayel built a successful career in the tech industry in Ireland. However, she was triggered by the limited representation of women in her field and the total lack of women from diverse backgrounds like herself. In spite of having no experience in business, she decided to do something about it, so she quit her job and launched her company, Diverse In. In two years, Furkan became a bestselling author and renowned expert in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion in Ireland. She has also trained thousands of leaders at some of the top global tech companies and received multiple awards for her work. Find out how she did it here [33 min] My best wishes to you, Amel PS: What do you want to be known for? If you cannot answer this question, or do not know how to implement the right strategy to get there, schedule a session with me. More info here. |

However, to figure it out, you must carve out space beyond the familiar routines and the constant hustle that have defined your business for years—regardless of whether they still serve you. This is what I talk about in the latest episode of The Time Is Now. I...
Dear Reader, There are moments when staying silent feels safer—especially when you’re a solopreneur or a leader who needs to be cautious with your visibility. When your name is your brand. When your income depends on trust. When speaking up feels like it could cost you clients, energy, or stability. Not because you don’t care—but because you don’t always feel you have the resources or the power to influence real change. Here’s the shift I’ve been holding onto lately: speaking up as a...
Hi Reader, I have some exciting news to share with you! But before, I have a question: Have you ever felt that tension between knowing you need to be more visible to grow your business… and feeling that the way you’re showing up just isn’t right anymore? That’s exactly where I found myself a little over a year ago. I had episodes ready. My business was growing. From the outside, everything was “great.” But continuing to show up just to stay visible and attract clients felt misaligned. At the...
