Scaling With People Merchandise Your Value with Joe Frankie III
Your leadership can be strong and still go unnoticed if you don’t know how to position it. That’s the battlefield we step into with Joe Frankie III, a former U.S. Army commander turned executive advisor who’s helped hundreds of executives, veterans, and students build a bridge to their next role. We talk about what separates leaders who quietly stall from leaders who compound trust, influence, and opportunity.
We start with the basics that many leaders skip: you don’t become a great leader until you learn to be a great follower. From there we get concrete about servant leadership, “leadership by walking around,” and why the best leaders think of themselves as resource providers. We also dig into prioritization when everything is urgent, plus a memorable distinction that changes how you delegate: calculated risk versus gambling.
Then we move into modern executive presence and personal branding on LinkedIn. Joe breaks down what it means to merchandise your IQ and EQ, why a resume is a black-and-white snapshot, and why your LinkedIn profile is the color portrait that does covert networking on your behalf. We get tactical on building influence without feeling salesy, writing your About section in first person, and the small trust signals that matter fast, including a professional headshot where people can see your eyes.
