In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

#59: 5 Things I Would Tell Myself When I Was Terrified to Get Visible and Did It Anyway 29:12

منذ 4 أيام29:12

29:12

If you’ve ever looked at someone further along in business and thought, ‘I could never do what they do,’ this episode is your reminder that we all start at zero feeling scared, messy, and unsure. In this extra special episode, I’m sharing a throwback to a time when I didn’t know if I could do any of this, when I was terrified to show my face even in a photo, and the lessons I learned from doing it anyway, without having everything figured out in advance. It’s time to normalise the messy feelings on this wild business journey! 💭 [1:21] "I wanna talk about the mess more. I wanna be more honest about it. I wanna let go of the shame that comes with talking about not being perfect, especially when we are coaches" 💭 [8:51] "Something in me told me it was time to get visible. It was time to start putting myself out there. It was time to start saying my truth, and I didn't know where the hell it was gonna lead" 💭 [20:51] "I was so afraid of being seen myself that I couldn't see other people and I couldn't see that... we all have the same fears about putting ourselves out there" Links: The Mess of Success Free Event $7 Soulful Growth Club QUICK LINKS: 🌱 Click here to sign up for my $7 Soulful Growth Club for my sustainable marketing and quiet visibility trainings, regular prompts, q&as, guided journalling & more. 🗣️ Click here to find out more about working with Ruth 1:1 on your business strategy & self-belief to grow your audience & make more sales your way 👋 Click here to follow Ruth on Instagram…

I recently tracked my sales for 2 specific goals: going a month with daily, new customers plus my goal to welcome 200 new members. In this episode, I’ll share my key lessons - especially when it comes to my sales mindset and seeing what works. 💭 [3:32] "I make more sales when I am properly tracking. I really do need to add a massive caveat to this though and say that sometimes it is hard." 💭 [6:00] "The fact that you are in there tracking the numbers regularly is reinforcing and reminding you: I have this goal and I need to take action towards this goal" 💭 [11:54] "Spending a few seconds on that every week or every other week is really adding up to a lot of really important and helpful data for me over time" Links: 200 Member Experiment Behind-the-Scenes Soulful Sales Society Membership $7 Soulful Growth Club $10 Soulful & Strategic Freebie Bootcamp QUICK LINKS: 🌱 Click here to sign up for my $7 Soulful Growth Club for my sustainable marketing and quiet visibility trainings, regular prompts, q&as, guided journalling & more. 🗣️ Click here to find out more about working with Ruth 1:1 on your business strategy & self-belief to grow your audience & make more sales your way 👋 Click here to follow Ruth on Instagram…

Ever feel hurt when you see how many people unsubscribed from your emails? And does that feeling ever make you question what to send and how often to send your emails? If so, today’s episode is for you! 💭 [3:52] "Have you ever made a decision about whether to send an email or what to say in an email or how much to sell based on a fear of people unsubscribing?" 💭 [5:11] "The people who are unsubscribing are not your dream clients... or not your dream clients YET" 💭 [7:21] "A smaller, more engaged email list is so much more valuable to you than a larger, totally indifferent email list."

Have you ever felt resentful at how much you give to your clients in your offers? Or have you ever added more to your offers because you're feeling shaky on their value? If so, this episode is for you. I'll share why less can actually be so much more for our offers, plus how to experiment with finding the right way of delivering that supports your energy, personality, and values. 💭 [3:04] "The outcome of your offer is what gives it its value. And to give people the outcome in the simplest way possible is super, super valuable to our people." 💭 [7:47] "What support can I include in service of the transformation of the offer that both feels sustainable for me and that feels like I'm being properly compensated for it at that price point?" 💭 [12:22] "Do you trust that you can still give value even if you're not there?"

There’s one thing that’s central to all of my marketing that I want to expand on in 2025. In this episode I’ll share ALL of my email marketing goals, and how I’m planning to reach them this year. 💭 [5:52] "If you wanna simplify the marketing and selling in your business, you need to boil it down to how are you growing your audience, how are you nurturing your audience, and how are you selling to your audience." 💭 [10:31] "I definitely wanna give myself permission to send more emails in 2025." 💭 [13:58] "If you are new to email marketing, if you are not prioritizing it, I really encourage you to pick a couple of goals to really prioritize this amazing asset in 2025."

Have you been overwhelmed with the noise lately about what is no longer working and what we should be doing instead?

Comparing myself to myself, looking at my own circumstances has been so much more powerful to me than looking at what everyone else is doing and looking at what everyone else is saying." 💭 [24:39] "Just remember, any strategy is working for someone right now."

Let's talk practical selling strategies for 2025. Here is what has been working for me and what I plan to do more of this year (plus a few things I am intentionally going to let go of). 💭 [5:01] "I'm not just gonna do something because everyone else is doing it and get distracted from what actually really works for my business." 💭 [10:25] "There is nothing like running a summit for establishing yourself as a voice in your niche. There is just nothing like a summit that leads to all of that growth, plus the direct income." 💭 [15:58] "Laidback launching has been working very, very well for me, especially in the times when I have barely been showing up because of mental health or fatigue or whatever."

What kind of business owner do I need to be? And what kind of business do I need to run?" 10:08: "We often think when we have a goal that it will happen like a, b, c, d, e, goal done, checked off.

It will be defined by how you bring yourself back to a place of hope, back to a place of optimism, back to a place of motivation, to keep serving your people, to keep putting your work out there, to keep selling your stuff, even when it doesn't go great." 16:10: "You never know whether in the grand scheme of things, this poor sales month could actually be THE key part of the journey to making it all work exactly the way you wanted it to work."
