MenuWhy are there so few women at Clarity?
This morning, when connecting to the platform, the welcome page listed only male experts (except one female expert). I am wondering why this happens: is it because the proportion of women is far too small? Is it because they operate in niche areas of expertise? Is it because they don't perform well at branding themselves as experts? Etc.
Interested to hear your thoughts!

Because men think they are experts at everything lol.
No, it is not so. Women are equal to men in every field and so it on clarity. But you must understand one thing there is a difference between a woman and a businesswoman. Multi-tasking is always said to be a woman’s strength but there are other skills and attitudes that you will need to be a successful businesswoman. For business topics you need a businesswoman. Think about a woman whom you know who has in your eyes become successful and think about what traits she demonstrates. I am sure you will get the answer.

That's interesting! I hadn't noticed this trend but I bet Dan could comment on this. I am curious to hear the results :)
I have been thinking on this one and I think it's because men are just more geared toward tech and gadgets. I'm not saying women aren't ABLE to do it, I am saying that they just are more geared toward face to face interaction and problem solving.
Case in point the number of young guys and boys that are addicted to online gaming. The girls like it and play , but I rarely see females and little girls practically go into mental breakdown when they can't get online.
I have seen more dudes practically cry like babies when they can't get online to play some game.
Disclaimer: I have seen more females then I can count on two hands be addicted to facebook, Instagram and twitter. Especially facebook and Instagram .
Another reason may be that women are used to having to work harder and differently, and tend to migrate to channels that allow them to really build a following (which typically starts by word of mouth). Sad story is, men are more apt to get the trust and dollars straight out of the gate.
Never noticed the predominance of men till you mentioned it. I really don't know, but I find it sad.
All my life, I was always considered a "token female" in what had been traditionally a business mainly occupied only by men. International lending was no exception.
I have also found men to be much more willing to venture out into their own business's, with more of an entrepreneurial spirit - than most women.
Therefore, it stands to reason that there would be less women here at Clarity where people share their experience.

What habits, discipline, or behaviours do you practice in your daily routine to promote the most productive schedule?
One of the biggest things I do is "time chunk". Time chunking – and fine tuning the practice – allows me to work with optimum productivity. It’s worth trying in some form or another because it removes a decision from the process of doing: what to do and when to do it. Another set of practices I put into play are outlined in my manifesto: http://productivityist.com/blog/the-way-of-the-productivityist-a-manifesto I talk about a lot of other strategies over at my website, and in my e-book "The Productivityist Workbook".Mike VardyMV

Does anyone know a simple game or activity to teach leaders how to delegate?
Try designing an activity where the leader has to describe to his team members how to build something or complete a certain task, with his back facing the team so he can't see what they're doing. Succeeding in this type of activity will require that the leader is able to use clear communication without being directly involved or micromanaging the situation. It will also require trust from both parties, and will force the team members to work together & help each other as they try to work out the specifics of carrying out the task. You can follow the activity with questions about what the leader did well and what he could have done better, and also what was frustrating for the leader. Push them to articulate how this activity translates to work in their organization. Here's a great example of this activity with a bit more detail: https://prezi.com/i1w8-bnyso-l/activity-to-teach-delegation/Sarah BrodySB

There is this billionaire that I know. I need a job but I am too afraid to ask him for one, plus he is located on a different continent.
Hi, I have worked with, interviewed, and sold to extremely successful people following a few simple principles. It can be scary, but preparation will help you manage the fear. Here are my thoughts: First, consider why you want to work for him. How will you benefit from a job with him? Don't assume that it is a good fit for you just because he is a billionaire. Are you doing it just because you need income? Or do you want mentorship? Get really clear on why this would be good for you. Once you are convinced that this is a good fit for you, think about why it would be valuable to him. Why would working for him be a mutually beneficial situation? Are there any gaps in his business that you would be able to fill? Do you see an area that would be improved if you were working on it for him? Once you have determined that working together would be a good situation for both of you, then ask for a phone or video chat meeting. From here, you want to have some quality questions for him that both demonstrate your expertise and help you confirm it is a good fit. One last piece of advice: The purpose of your meeting with him is not to convince him to hire you, it is to find out if it is a good fit for both of you. This mindset will help you make a decision together instead of you being at his mercy. If you would like extra help with the specifics, I would be happy to have a call with you. I have done this many times, and I know that it can be intimidating. Let me know if I can help in any way.Cold Calling, Phone Sales, & In-Person Sales Expert | Bob Harper CoachingCC

Just wondering how a board advisor is compensated? Is this typically in a form of equity, compensation, or just mentorship?
I've had many "Advisors" over the years and I like to break them up into 2 groups. 1) Formal Advisors These are people who strategic insights into the business and would create value for the company by having them listed on our site, and have access to them in an ongoing way. I typically engage them well before anything formal to see if they would actually be helpful and that we both get along. Compensation is usually around 0.1% - 0.5% ... if the person is amazing and will also help with the fundraising process, then I would go as high as 1%. 2) Personal Advisors These are people who I turn to for specific advice around tactics and strategy on an infrequent basis (maybe once or twice a year). Things like SEO, Internationalization, etc ... I typically try to create value for them every time we chat, so that it's win/win and I don't compensate with equity. I've personally never paid for formal advice, although I do often via Clarity .. but that's different. The great thing about Clarity is I can avoid spending the time or equity to get similar quality advice in usually a faster time period, however both approaches (list above vs. using Clarity) are totally different affinities to the person and the company. Call if you need more.Dan MartellDM

What are some high impact ways that entrepreneurs can build their personal brands?
Spend zero time worrying about building your personal brand. Spend all your time focused on achieving your goals building your business. Simply put, the best way to build your brand is to achieve success. Let others evangelize you, whether it be investors impressed with your growth, customers who are delighted by the product/service you provide, or even your employees talking about what a great leader you are and what an amazing work environment you create or how brilliant you are and how you're revolutionizing the industry you're operating in. These are all so much more important than the attention you could get by public speaking, blogging, doing interviews, etc. A Company can be artificially inflated by someone able to create attention but it is not a sustainable path to success. Others singing your praises is so much more substantive than promoting yourself.Tom WilliamsTW
