Hi ,

As a leader, it's critical for you to clearly articulate the value you bring to your role, company and industry.

Here's the struggle- how do you accomplish this without seeming like you're bragging?

 

How to Tell Stories that Communicate Your Value 

Here are 5 Tips to Structure a Story that 

Highlights Your Accomplishments:
 

1. Set a Clear Context
Set the scene- including the background, challenges and risks involved.
 

Example: "When I took over the project, we were facing significant delays that put us at risk of losing a top client."

2. Emphasize Teamwork- with you at the Helm 
Share about the collaborative efforts of your team and how you motivated them to take action and achieve results.
 

"I worked closely with my team to reassess the project, harness their insights and expertise to get the project back on track."

3. Describe Specific Actions Taken
This shows your hands-on involvement and problem-solving skills without overtly "bragging".
 

"I initiated a weekly review meeting to ensure we stayed on schedule and adjusted our strategies promptly based on real-time scenarios."

4. Highlight Results
Use data and specific outcomes to quantify the achievement. This part of the story showcases the impact of your leadership.

"As a result of these efforts, we not only delivered the project on time but also exceeded our client’s expectations, leading to a 20% increase in future business from that client."

5. Reflection
This not only shows humility and a commitment to continuous improvement, it also rounds out your story by shifting the focus from just winning to growth and development.

"I've learned the importance of adaptive leadership and have refined my ability to respond swiftly to unexpected challenges."
 

Using a story construct is a powerful way to convey your accomplishments in a way that feels grounded in humility.

Make your Content Count...

When posting on LinkedIn, your post will have fewer impressions if you put a link that that takes the viewer off of LinkedIn (such as an article, your website).

Instead of putting the link inside the post, write a first comment as the author of the post and put your link in the first comment.  The author's comment will stay at the top of comments, just below your post so it's the first to be seen.
