🌴343. The power of declaring what you want

There are 22 days left in the year, which means 22 episodes to go. If you want me to dissect anything before we wrap 2025, now is the time to speak up.I also share a big Con Con update. The venue is finally locked, and I drove down to see it myself because I refuse to run an event on “vibes only”. Expectations are high, and they should be. If I’m asking people to fly in, I need to build something that actually earns their time, not just their trust.Then I take you inside Sally Prosser’s book launch for Voiceprint. It was polished, warm, beautifully produced and then something happened that none of us could have scripted. Sally joked on stage that she wanted to give her book to Oprah, who’s in Brisbane this week. Fast-forward to today and… she did it. She literally handed Voiceprint to Oprah Winfrey. On video. In the wild. And the clip is one of the best things you’ll see online this year.More than anything, it’s a reminder that saying your hopes out loud isn’t naïve. It’s strategic. Sally declared it, her network moved, and a ridiculous dream became real within 24 hours. If you keep your ambitions locked inside because you’re scared of looking presumptuous, you’re slowing yourself down.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
