Confidence Classic: Stop Waiting for Permission—Build a Career That Lights You Up with Steve Herz
Manage episode 482710536 series 2793680
If you’ve ever felt lost after a setback or unsure how to pivot into your next big chapter, this one’s for you. I’m sitting down with Steve Herz—talent agent, career coach, author, and a master at reinvention—to talk about how getting rejected from a dream job led him to build one of the most successful careers in media and personal development. From taking the calls no one else wanted, to turning soft skills into leadership superpowers, Steve breaks down the communication tools that actually move the needle (hint: it’s not your résumé). This episode is a masterclass in turning “no” into your greatest opportunity—and creating a life and career on your terms.

Rejection can redirect you toward your most aligned success path.

Build influence through authority, warmth, and energy (AWE).

Culture transformation starts with effective private communication.
Don’t wait—reinvent, reach out, and create new opportunities.
