Lessons from Esther on how to get on the radar of influencers in your industry/niche

There are some seats at the table that you have to be invited to rather than create yourself

This is known as vertical networking. For example, Esther would not have been able to get her audience with the king and save her people if she hadn’t first gotten on his radar as described in Esther 5:1-2:

“Now it happened on the third day [of her fast] that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne... So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favour in his sight, and… Esther went near [to speak to him]”

But how do we get close enough to the influencers within our industries to get on their radars in this new digital age?

How do we get to their inner courts, so to speak?

Lessons from Lot's Wife on How to Elevate Yourself

So, last week we were in Genesis 19 kicking off our study of Lot’s Wife and what the events of her life (as recorded in this chapter) teach us about submitting to God and how to do it. Whilst there, we focused on Genesis 19:17 which says:

“So it came to pass, when [the angels] had brought [Lot, his wife and two daughters] outside [of Sodom and Gomorrah], that [the angel] said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”

paying particular attention to the first part of the angel’s instructions (which I highlighted above).

This week, I dove into the second part of the instructions because God showed me that:

Do not stay anywhere in the plain
Escape to the mountains

actually hold huge clues to us, as modern women, on how we can go about the process of elevating ourselves so that we can become the women of God that He ordained us to be- all of which I shared on my Facebook page this week via the (live) video below.
