Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me today. Thanks for being here. Okay, so I'm working on post around I've seen a lot of posts where it says, I am a female blah, you know, female CEO, I'm a female executive, I am a female author, I'm a female negotiator, whatever it is. And then they put a line through the word female. And then the post goes on to talk about, you know, that they don't wanna, you know, they're not finding success because they're a woman.
That's just part of the thing. of who they are and they don't want to be, you know, put in that labeled that way. So it's interesting because I'm constantly looking at trends, I'm constantly looking at what's working outside of my own work. If you're not doing that, oh my gosh, please do. Not that I'm not saying everyone's your competitor, but I'm saying there's information accessible to you all around you. For example, I noticed on LinkedIn posts that were quote cards that had no text in the actual post, just the only text was on the quote card, did incredibly well. So of course I said, let's test this guy's to my team. Let's create a quote card and not put anything in the actual comment area where I typically would write to.
And it did unbelievable, right? So trends and what other people are doing can open your eyes to what's responding well, you know, what people are connecting with. And again, I'm not saying steal somebody else's, but make it your own, right? Use your quote and your words in that text post. Okay, so that's just um giving you a little bit of insight into how I create content, especially for LinkedIn, which is where I double down. Down, it's where 90% of my business comes from. 90% of my speaking engagements, everything really comes from LinkedIn. So it's super important to me. So I'm always looking at this stuff. Well, I start seeing that these female with the word female crossed out posts are doing really, really well.
So I thought to myself, you know, I wanna do one, but I like to do things a little differently, like with my own spin. I don't want to make it about, you know, being called female. And that's when it hit me. Is in 2020 I was named top 40 female keynote speaker, right? By real leaders. First of all, let me just tell you that two years before that, I wasn't a professional speaker, which is so ridiculous by the way, because I'd spoken for twenty years publicly, but I just wasn't named a a keynote speaker back then. I was named a C-suite executive. So they don't count that. Whatever. That's when I just called BS to everybody. But okay, that's Heather's opinion. You can have your own. But I just kind of dismiss those, you know, people saying, well, you're new to this industry.
Well, so what? I've been doing it for 20 years. You know, I have some expertise in this arena. I feel really confident when I'm on a stage and when I'm speaking. Luckily that came through. I ended up, you know, two years later, I was named Top 40 Female Keynote Speaker 2020. And to say that was shocking and surprising, of course, I didn't even know these lists existed.
