The Courage To Grow Even When It Hurts | Insights from Danielle Letayf

This is a conversation with Danielle Letayf, and how she discovered her superpower to help other develop their personal brand and have the courage to unlock their potential and rewrite the stories they tell so they can make meaningful impact in their communities.

As people leaders, coaches and talent professionals, many of us help others tell their story. We might even get involved in helping them rewrite their stories.

Today’s guest Danielle Letayf is a pro at this.

Danielle is the founder of Badassery, a podcast guest agency. Not only is she helping her clients tell their stories on podcasts around the world, she rolls her sleeves up and gets into the mix with her clients to rewrite their own stories.

And while her clients need to adapt and embrace their new stores, adaptability is also part of Danielle’s secret sauce in how she approaches each individual she works with.

Danielle shares three key lessons in this conversation for the process of developing your personal brand:
1️⃣A willingness to go into uncomfortable places
2️⃣The courage to do the hard work
3️⃣It will be a grind

As you can imagine, if you were getting up on stage or about to be interviewed on a podcast, you might have a little imposter syndrome.

If you’re lucky enough to know Danielle, she’d likely share her surprising attitude towards Imposter Syndrome, which she shares in this conversation too.

In this episode, Danielle answers the following questions:
➡️What does rewriting your story mean?
➡️How do you rewrite your own story?
➡️How do you develop your personal brand?
➡️ Who can help me develop my personal brand?

My favorite quote from the episode: “A badass is not someone who is complete, but rather someone who is willing to grow even when they now it will hurt.”

If this quote feels similar to the Teddy Roosevelt “man in the arena” quote, it should. Not because Danielle lifted it, but because they are both talking about the courage it takes to be vulnerable especially because it will hurt in the middle.
