00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>This is the seven Minute Leadership Podcast with your host

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Paul Fellovledo.

5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

6
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>It's episode three sixty three. And have you seen the

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>motivational social media post by that person that says a

8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>bottle of water costs one dollar at the grocery store,

9
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>The same bottle is two dollars at the gym if

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you go through TSA, it's now four dollars at the airport,

11
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and as soon as you strap into seat twenty two

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>B on the airplane, that same bottle of water is

13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>seven dollars, same water, same content, same plastic bottle. So

14
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>what changed the location? In my friends, is one of

15
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the simplest realist leadership lessons that you'll ever hear. And

16
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 2>here's my take on it. It's not about the water,

17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>It's about where the water is sitting. That seven dollars

18
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>price tag isn't because the water suddenly became special. It's

19
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>because the environment recognized the value it holds in that moment,

20
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>in that place. As a leader, a professional, a person

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to rise. It's time you take the same logic

22
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>and apply it to yourself, because too many of you

23
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>are doubting your worth based on the opinions of people

24
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>who are standing in the wrong section of the store,

25
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>people who don't have the capacity, experience, or mindset to

26
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>recognize what you bring to the table. And you're sitting

27
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 2>there questioning your value, your path, your future, all because

28
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>you're surrounded by people who can't see your shine. Let

29
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>me be blunt. Maybe it isn't you. Maybe it's just

30
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>your shelf. Let that sink in for a minute. Maybe

31
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 2>it's just the shelf that you're sitting on. If you're

32
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>in a place where your ideas get dismissed, if you're

33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>in a room where you're constantly overlooked, if you're in

34
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>a workplace where your ambition is labeled as too much,

35
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>then you're standing in the wrong place. You're sitting on

36
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>the dollar shelf when you belong on the premium rack.

37
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>You don't need to water yourself down. You don't need

38
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to sheut louder or beg for recognition. You just need

39
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>to move on. Leadership is knowing when to stay and

40
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>when to go, when to fight for your place and

41
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>when to build a new table altogether, because not everyone

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 2>is built to see your value and that's not your fault,

43
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>that's on them, But staying in that environment that's on you.

44
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>So if we go a layer deeper. We've all heard

45
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>phrases like know you're worth and don't settle, But here's

46
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 2>my leadership upgrade to that. Put yourself in environments that

47
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>activate your value. Just like the bottle of water gets

48
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>priced higher at the airport because of scarcity and convenience,

49
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>your unique skills, mindset and hustle might be undervalued in

50
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>your current role because it's simply the wrong audience. You

51
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>might be the most loyal person in a disloyal environment,

52
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the most innovative thinker on a team that fears change,

53
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the hardest worker in a place that rewards politics over productivity.

54
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>You were the same you, but the setting is suppressing

55
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>your price tag. And here's where most people get stuck.

56
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>They try to convince the gem to start charging airport prices.

57
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 2>They spend years trying to explain their value to people

58
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>who don't have the capacity to understand it. That's the

59
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>leadership trap. You can't drag people into vision and you

60
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>can't force a culture to see something it refuses to

61
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>look for. So what do you do. You move, You

62
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>find the right setting, You switch shelves, and when you do,

63
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>here's what happens. You start getting paid what you're worth.

64
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Your voice carries weight, your passion is seen as a strength,

65
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>not a nuisance, and you finally breathe because you're no

66
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>longer swimming upstream in an environment that's allergic to growth.

67
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>This isn't about chasing money or recognition. It's about alignment,

68
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>finding the space that was built for your kind of leadership,

69
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 2>your kind of fire, your kind of drive. And here's

70
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the most powerful part. When you level up your environment,

71
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>your confidence catches up. You stop questioning yourself, you stop shrinking,

72
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 2>you stop playing small. You finally realize I was never

73
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>the problem. I was just on the wrong shelf. So

74
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>here's your leadership challenged today. Look around, Look close. Are

75
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>you in the right room? Is your leadership being seen?

76
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Is your value being respected? Or are you still the

77
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>one dollar bottle of water waiting for someone to come

78
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>along and realize that you're worth more? Stop waiting. Move

79
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>because sometimes you have to leave to level up. And remember,

80
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 2>your price tag doesn't define your worth. Your environment does

81
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 2>This has been this seven minute leadership podcast, and I

82
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>thank you for listening.
