She Takes Every Opportunity the Other Coaches Leave Behind | Susan Hyatt

When Martha Beck's coaching cohort was offered a chance to present at IKEA stores across the US and be featured in O Magazine, half the coaches said no. The pay was only $1,500. Susan Hyatt said yes to every city nobody wanted. She flew herself there. She did Chicago, Atlanta, Cincinnati, New York. The O Magazine rep noticed. Then came a Seattle's Best Coffee partnership. Then an invitation to speak at Oprah's events. Susan has been building her business since before Facebook was open to anyone who wasn't a college student. She started on MySpace, wrote newsletters, made terrible videos with a camcorder in a cardigan, and once shared something publicly she'd never told anyone - and watched her business change overnight because of it. She's a master certified life coach, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker who has spent 17 years teaching women to take up space. In this episode, we go back to the beginning - the buttoned-up posts, the early vulnerability, and what it actually takes to stop filtering yourself and say the thing anyway.     TIMESTAMPS   (00:00) Introduction (1:15) Imposing rules on how you can show up online (5:35) What authenticity looks like  (10:36) Vulnerability hangover  (11:47) The work behind showing up audaciously (14:34) People's opinions of you (19:02) Judging others online  (21:04) Envying others online  (26:50) Cheryl's favorite content from Susan (28:40) How women hold themselves back from showing up online (30:46) Professionalism  (32:16) Being willing to try  (36:38) Letting opportunities slip right past you  (40:28) NOT letting opportunities slip right past you (44:50) Actionable takeaways      CONNECT WITH SUSAN HYATT   Website: https://susanhyatt.co  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanhyatt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/susan.ohyatt YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SusanHyatt/videos  Podcast: You've Got Nerve     CONNECT WITH CHERYL LAU   Website: https://cheryllau.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau WORK WITH CHERYL LAU   I produce distinctive and deeply resonant podcasts for leaders and organizations who want their content to command attention, spark meaningful conversations, and attract high-value opportunities.
