Tell me about your vision.
Well, fundamentally, my vision is
that people discover their voice as a leader.
That's my, that is the baseline of what I stand for.
And as they discover their voice,
they then discover how to create strategy to best utilize,
first of all, their personal skills.
Because a lot of times we get obsessed, so to speak,
with our company branding.
But we're always, we are a brand as an individual.
Whether we're working for a company
or we have our own company, we're part of a team,
or we're a solopreneur, it's important that we're clear
that we have a brand and that brand is positioned somewhere,
whether we've done it intentionally or unintentionally,
there is a brand presence.
And inside of that brand presence, you want to inspect,
is it what you want?
Is it headed the direction you want it to head?
Does it give you the scope that you want it to give,
to give you, and is it consistent with who you are
and fundamentally the difference you want
to make in the world?
So I look at that whole thing as an organic way
to approach leadership, that people look
at their own zone of genius, make sure that as they lead,
that they're honoring that and that they put themselves
in the best position to succeed.
Some people don't want to be entrepreneurs.
They love the corporate world.
That's where they thrive.
And other people in the corporate world feel
like they're a fish out of water
and they feel much better as an entrepreneur.
And I think it's important as human beings
that we navigate that.
And sometimes it's a phase.
Sometimes you're in corporate, I was in corporate for years
and then there was a time that I was clear
that I wanted to build something myself.
That's awesome.
Lin-El, where would you say,
where would you say that this vision come from?
Yeah, that's a great question.
Thank you for that.
I fundamentally, I think it came from my family.
I grew up with six, there were six of us,
three boys and three girls.
I was number two of six.
My older sister wasn't interested in being the oldest
and like taking responsibility
and trying to lead the other siblings.
So I gladly took that role on at a very young age.
At nine years old, I had a schedule on my wall
for my brothers that came after me.
Like if they did their homework, if they washed their clothes,
if they had their room organized,
then I would make them their favorite cookies
and or give them something that they really wanted.
And they were like a couple of years behind me.
But I noticed then that I couldn't lead
each one of them separately.
They each had separate motivations
on why they would fulfill on getting a gold star,
so to speak.
And then I also noticed that I enjoyed like navigating that.
Like, what is it gonna take to have this one motivated?
And why didn't that one get motivated from that?
So how can I support them in motivating them?
So I believe it started way back then.
Wow.
Thank you for sharing that.
Then let me ask you this, Lin-El.
And this is a little deeper than I thought I could go.
What do you think is your why of what you do?
Well, I am very present to the fact that there is a dash
in between the year I was born and the year I will die.
There's a dash.
And I really am present to that
as inside of the choices I make
and the way I prioritize my life energy
that ultimately my why, I call myself just basically
to myself a freedom fighter.
I am that people live as free as possible
and leadership in particular is the place I focus.
So why I say freedom is because many times
people are frustrated trying to be like someone else.
And to me, there isn't any freedom there
if all you're doing is trying to replicate
or force who you are from a round peg into a square hole.
There's always something to learn.
But I think at the end of the day,
we have to be willing to be bold to be our own unique self.
So my why really is supporting, starting with me,
I interact with myself the same way.
I always say I'm my first customer
that I'm always checking in because I read a lot.
I listen to a lot of podcasts and masterminds
and all of these things that I don't lose fundamentally
what I care about in the midst of all of that support
and knowledge and wisdom.
And I feel the same thing holds true for others
that I really want people to own their journey,
own their path, not allow themselves to get talked into
doing something that's not actually authentically them.
