How can you evolve from being an expert to a thought leader?

What mindset shift needs to happen and what does thought leadership message and content look like?

This episode is the audio from a LinkedIn Live we did recently with two of the women who've graduated from our Thought Leader Academy, Emily Rogers and Jackie Roby.

We take you behind the scenes to talk about:

  • What it means to them to be a thought leader
  • The role that vulnerability plays in being a thought leader
  • How they shifted their mindset to evolve from expert to thought leader
  • The kind of content they create to position themselves as thought leaders
  • Thought leadership content has a long shelf life and impacts people beyond your immediate network
  • Why they decided to join our Thought Leader Academy and what they got out of it
