In our meeting on Tuesday, we decided that we didn’t want to clog up the feed directing people to our other platforms but that we would have a post where people could share if they so choose. So, today’s the day. Share your social media handles below and then follow someone if you feel so inclined! Please comment below and not in a new post. 😊

Hey everyone 👋 One of the core reasons I started Unlock The Collective is because I believe growth doesn’t happen in silos — it happens when people, businesses, and communities align. I’m building a platform designed to partner with other creators, coaches, and businesses so we can amplify each other’s impact across multiple channels. Think of it like a cross-functional team: each person brings their unique strengths, and together we create something bigger than any one of us could do alone. 💡 Here’s what I’m looking for: - Leaders with a proven process or program who want to reach more of the right people. - Creators who are excited about collaborating on content that educates, inspires, and grows communities. - Business owners who believe in win-win partnerships and want to expand their influence. Here’s what I bring: - A unique growing community in Skool (Unlock The Collective). - A leadership alignment framework that helps founders and teams go from chaos to clarity. - A vision to build a global collaboration hub where we can promote and support one another across platforms. If you’re someone who loves collaboration, creating win-win opportunities, or you’ve got something valuable that leaders and entrepreneurs should know about, I’d love to chat. Drop a comment or DM me, and let’s explore what alignment could look like between us. 🙌 Let’s grow together. — Alexander

You know that spike of panic when you open Skool, see 47 notifications, and suddenly your amazing post idea feels impossible? I've been there. Multiple times this week, actually. I get excited about sharing something valuable, then I see all those notifications and think "I need to respond to everyone first" and then "how will I have time to create my post" and before I know it... I've closed the app and avoided it for the rest of the day. But yesterday I discovered something that might change everything. I stumbled upon a video by Vinh Giang, a renowned communications coach I highly recommend his work. He was talking about a confidence framework that blew my mind. Here's the key insight: we don't need to feel confident before we look confident - we need to look and sound confident before we feel confident. When we act, look, and sound confident, even our own brain perceives us as more confident. I've experienced this myself - put on a sharp suit? I feel different. Use communication techniques I've practiced? Instant confidence boost. So I started wondering: does this work online too? What does "looking confident" mean when we're just text on a screen? What does "sounding confident" mean when people are reading our words, not hearing our voice? Here's what I think I've figured out so far: Visual Confidence Online: - Posting quickly with authentic emotion (not overthinking every word) - Using GIFs that match your personality - Consistent voice across all your posts and comments - Well-structured longer posts that feel like YOU, not an overly-edited version of you Auditory Confidence Online: - Comments that sound natural, not sterilized - Punctuation that has personality (your style, not grammar perfection) - Taking up space with your ideas instead of apologizing for them I'm going to experiment with these ideas and see what works. I'm going experiment by trying to applying one of these confidence behaviors to each post and comment I make this week.

Choose your own adventure. What's harder? 1. Having your kids not wanting to see you when they're older? Or, 2. Ruling with an iron fist during their childhood and teen years, so you get the respect you demand as parent? There's a difference. Pick your preference. Choose your hard. Then head on over to the Talking Teen Official Community and lets see what we can do about that.

I don’t know if you are the same way but I’m so pumped about this platform I think everyone should start a Skool community. 😁 I’m trying to convince my husband to start a community. He has worked in the coffee roasting industry for the past 10 years. He’s not a barista but he know how to make good cups of coffee and knows a lot about roasting coffee. We had talked about starting a community for people that want to go from bad coffee to good coffee. Like from instant coffee to quality drip grind or espresso. Or even people want to make their own Starbucks coffee (but better without sugar filled sweeteners) from home. Kind of like leveling up your coffee game for taste and health. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this and share with him the feedback.
