Thought Leadership’s Post

Business leaders everywhere are facing pressures to build their personal brands online. As we become even more obsessed with technology and social media, consumers will continue to look toward CEOs and other senior leadership to see if their companies are something they want to invest their money into. Younger generations are all about authenticity, and want to hear from leaders about what’s important to them; what they value. It can be incredibly difficult not knowing where to start when wanting to build or revamp your brand.

My compatriots at Heroic Public Speaking are going on a journey to try to define something I've wondered and wrestled with my entire career. What exactly IS a thought leader? This first article is really insightful and backed by some great research. Here's a question for you: when you hear the term thought leader, what's your initial reaction? (I honestly want to know.)

To thrive in today's business world, leaders need to move from traditional tactics to next-level influence and become Super Influencers—individuals who bring people together to collaboratively address pressing challenges and opportunities, focusing on the best ideas, not any one individual. In our blog, we explore the difference between being a traditional influencer and a Super Influencer and why leaders who adopt this new model are better equipped to foster sustainable innovation and more resilient organizational cultures. https://lnkd.in/g_NUeqYT #superinfluencer #leadership #impactleadership

Are you a thought leader? Answer these seven questions to find out. A thought leader is an expert or authority around a topic or industry. You might also call them subject matter experts, industry leaders, visionaries, authorities or business influencers. But how would you know if you are one? Here are seven questions to ask yourself. 😀 Do you have deep knowledge or expertise on a topic of industry? 😁 Do you have creative or innovative views that challenge conventional wisdom? 😃 Do you consistently share your ideas through content? 😄 Do others see you as a leader and innovator? 😋 Can you share your ideas in engaging and persuasive ways? 😎 Are you recognised for your contribution to driving change? 🤔 Are you a trusted source of ideas and information? How did you score? To dig a little deeper avoid yes or no responses. Instead, consider your answers on a scale from 1-5. Did you score better this time? On a scale of 1-5, I scored myself 27 out of 35. I create thought leadership content, but my impact let me down. What was your score? #ideasarchitect #thoughtleadership #businessexpert

Speaking engagements are pivotal in building a brand’s reputation. Yet, amidst our busy schedules, we often overlook the value of participating in panels and conversations. It’s important to prioritize these opportunities to share your expertise, connect with your brand’s audience, and elevate your brand presence. Benefits of Being Part of the Conversation: ➡️ Amplify Key Brand Messages: Use the platform to highlight your brand’s unique value propositions. ➡️ Establish Thought Leadership: Position yourself and your brand as industry leaders. ➡️ Expand Your Network: Connect with peers, influencers, and potential partners. ➡️ Enhance Credibility: Gain trust and credibility through knowledge sharing. ➡️ Drive Engagement: Engage directly with your audience, fostering stronger connections. ➡️ Showcase Executive Leadership: Highlight the expertise and vision of your brand’s leaders. #BrandBuilding #PublicSpeaking #ThoughtLeadership #Speaker #executivecoaching #mediatraining

"How've you let people know about what you're doing?" I hear this from my clients, my mentors, my friends, even social influencers. It's easy to think marketing means just yelling, bragging, and pushing your ‘value proposition’ everywhere. You might think the job is just to tell everyone our story. Get a PR company, copywriter, ghostwriter, run LI ads, post like crazy on social media. It seems super important - agitating even. But that's not how things really work. Not since TV started fading out years ago. Ideas that get around do it by word of mouth, not by shouting from rooftops. When we make something people really want to talk about, remarkable things unfold. Remarkable denotes something worth remarking about. Over the last 90 days on here (and I mention this as an uptick stat), there's been 172,621 impressions and 1,843 profile visits. It's all about the interplay between Map & Territory - it's all about you. Program details here: https://eur.cvent.me/v1L94 #procurement #sustainability #culture #change #Romania

💡 Creating a lasting mission and vision requires intention and iteration. Here are some best practices from Vocap’s Vinny Olmstead: ✅ 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭: Include both senior management AND key influencers, regardless of level. Titles don’t matter—what matters is perspective. 👥 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫: If possible, bring in an experienced facilitator. Having an outsider who’s done this before can be instrumental to the process. ⏳ 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞: Don’t rush it. Take a month or so to let ideas settle. A two-hour session won’t suffice to create something that lasts. 📣 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲: Develop a grassroots communication plan. Celebrate the mission and vision across the company and invest in reinforcing them through merchandise and collateral. 🔄 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬: It might sound odd, but getting feedback from customers can make your mission stronger and more aligned with your stakeholders.
