How to Reinforce Your Role and Build Authority: Lessons from the Intentional Movement Podcast
In the latest episode of the Intentional Movement Podcast, Jay and Rasheed share critical insights on redefining your identity, delegating tasks, and building authority in your industry. This episode is packed with actionable advice for entrepreneurs and professionals seeking to elevate their roles and reinforce their value.
Redefining Your Role
A recurring challenge in professional growth is the way others perceive you. Jay shares his journey of shifting away from being labeled as just a videographer to being recognized as a business consultant and entrepreneur.
“You have to force people to see you differently and reinforce it with your actions.”
The key, they explain, is to confidently communicate your new role and back it up with the results and actions that align with your narrative.
"Who, Not How" Mentality
One of the standout concepts discussed is the "Who, Not How" mentality. When faced with challenges, it’s less about figuring out the process yourself and more about identifying the right person who can help you succeed.
Jay and Rasheed break down how to:
Identify individuals with the expertise and resources you need.
Build relationships through meaningful conversations before formal collaborations.
Leverage mentors and resources like ChatGPT for research and planning.
Delegation and Leadership
For those juggling multiple responsibilities, Rasheed emphasizes the importance of delegation. He shares how he’s learned to allocate tasks to others based on their skill sets while focusing his energy on leadership and strategy.
“Structure the deal with the outcome you want.”
By doing so, he maintains control of his narrative and reinforces his value to clients and collaborators.
Building Your Network
The podcast also touches on the importance of curating a network that challenges and uplifts you. Jay and Rasheed stress the need to align yourself with individuals who inspire growth and innovation, emphasizing:
The impact of being surrounded by "destiny helpers."
Recognizing the power players in your environment and staying in momentum with them.
Leveling up your network to expand opportunities and resources.
