  • If They Don’t Feel It, They Won’t Follow: Influence Equation Series
    2025/11/27
    This Week’s Playbook: The Move That Actually Builds Trust You can write the best mission statement in the world.Design the perfect deck. Nail the speech. And still — no one moves.Because people don’t follow words.They follow evidence — the kind they can feel. If you’ve been following this series, you know the equation:Influence = Attention + Trust Attention might open the door.But trust is the multiplier.It’s what moves people to act. And the clearest signal of trust?Not charisma. Not clarity. Not even credibility.It’s time. A Case You Should Study A mid-sized B2B company. Revenue tanking. Attrition spiking.One team lost 80% of its people in a year.Burnout had calcified into apathy.The culture? The walking dead. Then came a new CEO. Not loud. Not glossy. No all-hands declarations.He just started showing up. Not in boardrooms — in living rooms. He got in a car and visited employees. Warehouse staff. Junior admins. Custodial crew.Played with toddlers. Met aging parents. Sat on fraying couches. Drank bad coffee. Stayed for more than five minutes. “He knew my daughter’s name before my manager did.” “He listened to my father talk about immigrating to America.” Nothing changed on the P&L that quarter.But everything changed in the building. Because trust doesn’t start with a slide —It starts when people feel you. Why Time Is the Ultimate Trust Signal You can’t fake time.You can’t scale it. You can’t automate it.And once it’s gone — it’s gone. That’s what makes it so powerful. When leaders spend time — not as theater, but as truth — it sends a signal louder than any keynote: “I’m here. With you. When I don’t have to be.” That’s what accelerates trust.And trust is what makes influence real. What Real Leaders Spend Time On • A hospital administrator pulled night shifts with nurses during COVID — not to fix anything, but to understand. • A VP spent hours coaching underperformers others had written off — because development wasn’t a reward, it was the job. • That CEO? He didn’t outsource empathy. He embodied it. Leadership isn’t about scale. It’s about signal.“I choose to be here.” This Episode Goes Deeper: The Quiet Move That Makes Influence Inevitable You can be the smartest person in the room. But if no one feels you? They won’t follow you. 🟣A Soft Challenge This Week Give someone your time.Not a tweet. Not a comment. Actual time. Because that’s where trust begins. And when trust is real — influence is inevitable. 📚 ABOUT THE SERIES: This is Episode 5 of The Influence Equation—a framework for building authentic influence without faking it. We’ve covered trust and influence. Now we’re diving into the foundation: trust.

  • The Hidden Power of Being Underestimated
    2025/11/12
    YouTube Girl Walks Into a Boardroom. There’s a certain kind of moment you don’t forget. Mine happened in a sleek conference room at one of the top business schools in the world—right as I was stepping into a leadership role for a new MBA program. Big moment. Bigger opportunity. One of the senior faculty members looked across the table and said, “We weren’t sure how to prepare for this meeting… should we have done jumping jacks before you arrived?” That wasn’t curiosity. That was condescension. To him, I was the “YouTube workout girl.” Just a label — and a reductive one. They Labeled Me Wrong. Here’s What I Did Next. What he didn’t know was the backstory: That the business he was referencing started as my MBA thesis. That it became one of the first paid fitness subscription platforms for women. That it grew into a digital agency, eventually acquired by a PE firm. That I’d already built and taught curriculum at another top-tier school. But none of that mattered if the room couldn’t see it. And that’s when I realized something I wish someone had told me earlier: When someone underestimates you, you don’t win by explaining harder. You win by speaking a language they already trust. The Room Wasn’t Ready for Me — But I Was What shifted that room wasn’t confidence. It was context. Not defensiveness. Not overcompensation. Just a quiet, grounded translation of value — from my lens into theirs. DON’T EXPLAIN YOURSELF TRANSLATE YOURSELF “Validation” gets a bad rap in the empowerment era. But when done strategically, it’s not about seeking approval. It’s about meeting someone in the logic system they already live in — so you can shift it, from the inside. This Week’s Real Playbook 🟣 When someone doubts you, don’t panic — pause. What’s the lens they’re using? What do they already respect? Start there. 🟣 Borrow trust, but translate it. Not to perform, but to bridge. The goal isn’t to impress — it’s to connect. 🟣 Resist the urge to “prove.” Often, the more you explain, the more fragile it sounds. Let the substance speak through the right signal. Because when someone reduces you to a label, your job isn’t to argue the label. It’s to reveal the layers behind it — in a language they can actually hear. 📚 ABOUT THE SERIES: This is Episode 4 of The Influence Equation—a framework for building authentic influence without faking it.

  • Trusted Voices Win. Here’s Why You’re Not One Yet.
    2025/11/01
    You can be brilliant, confident, even right—and still not be trusted. I learned this the hard way. Early in my career, I assumed that working harder, knowing more, and delivering results would automatically earn trust. People respected my competence, but they didn't always follow me. They didn't open up. And sometimes, they didn't stay. That's because trust isn't built on expertise alone. It's built on three layers—and the most powerful one is the one nobody talks about. In this episode of Amanda's Playbook, I break down: ✓ Competence – Why being smart gets you admired, but not always trusted ✓ Character – How consistency (not perfection) builds believability ✓ Clarity – Why confusion kills trust, even when your ideas are genius ✓ Benevolence – The overlooked layer that overrides credentials every time Chapters: 0:00 – Intro: When Being Smart Isn't Enough 0:39 – Level 1: Competence (Do You Know What You're Doing?) 1:05 – Level 2: Character (Who are you as a person?) 1:34 – Level 3: Clarity 2:15 – 3 Layers of Trust Explained The truth: People don't just need to know you're capable. They need to believe you have their best interests at heart. That's relationship capital—and it's the real engine of influence. Whether you're building a personal brand, leading a team, or trying to earn trust in a new space, this framework will change how you show up. 🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS: → How to signal competence without over-explaining → How to demonstrate character in high-stakes moments → How to build trust when you haven't earned it yet (borrow trust, admit the gap, offer value anyway) → Why benevolence beats credentials in the trust equation 📚 ABOUT THE SERIES: This is Episode 3 of The Influence Equation—a framework for building authentic influence without faking it.
