Learn to leverage your value and package your expertise for either an existing opportunity or when creating your own – that next best role designed by you! Recognize where you have moved on and transitioned from "Worker Bee" mode and are now positioned as a "Big Picture Thinker", leading as a key professional expert.
You will package what you know, leveraging all the value which you bring to your clients either as the intrapreneur inside an organization or entrepreneur inside your practice. Master how to "plan the work" and "work the plan" every time, pitching your ideas with confidence and relying on your experience.
Learn to let go and communicate your strategy + vision to get buy-in, step back, be flexible and trust when others disagree. You will look beyond the trees and trust that all of your years of experience has led up to where you are right now. You will self-qualify yourself to show off your systems and best practices in a new senior-level advisory role where you are looked upon for your skills no longer as a "do-er" but for your ideas, how you think and consistently deliver RESULTS.

Behind the Scenes with Marisa Santoro
Let me share a story with you based on the below photo. This was taken in NYC at The Harvard Club. At the time, I was running my business alongside my IT Executive career. I had mentally moved away from technology and Wall Street yet was still sought after to speak on behalf of vendors and clients. So I did.
As a safe bet measure, I thought "Well, if I'm still the trusted technologist who is being invited to self-promote her value and my business doesn't take off, I'd better still accept these speaking invitations."
So I kept speaking, even though I only wanted to speak to women at the time and empowering them.
I share this with you for one reason. If there are companies you interact with or organizations you have partnered with or a board you have sat on, then leverage that opportunity along with your subject area of knowledge and speak on their stage. Be opportunistic about it as well. You are (not if) a thought leader. Look for opportunities to do that at least twice a year. After completing this module you have recognized how you can package all your VALUE all your EXPERTISE.
Other than direct peers, clients, management and patients are reaping the benefits of your VALUE. How about all of the other people out there that can learn from you as well? These opportunities will position you as a thought leader and continuously move your career ahead giving you credibility.
I took this video of my speaking from the below talk (I had a trip-pod set up in the back of the room) and posted it on Linked in. Then I Linkedin to everyone I met in the room so they could replay it. : )
Own your value as the the Thought Leader that you are. You have no idea what doors can fly open years later for you. I had a few job offers after this event. I didn't take them as I wasn't interested in advancing any longer in IT, but I acknowledged that I created them. If you lead them, they will come.
