356: What to Do Now to Position Yourself as a Thought Leader [Thought Leadership Series]

356: What to Do Now to Position Yourself as a Thought Leader [Thought Leadership Series]

We’re continuing our new podcast series on thought leadership.

We’ve talked about finding and developing your big idea and what your signature talk should be doing for you.

Today we’re diving into what you can start doing now to position yourself as a thought leader.

Yes, you can absolutely be a thought leader - and we need you to be!

Thought leaders have an interesting idea and they're willing to share it in a bigger way.

Most thought leaders are also public speakers because of the built-in authority and credibility you get standing in front of an audience and the broader impact you can make.

But, here's the thing: Seeing yourself as a thought leader doesn't come *after* you've done the thing.

You need to see yourself first as a thought leader and claim that identity.

That's what's going to align your actions and propel you forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What exactly a thought leader is
  • How people become thought leaders
  • Self-limiting beliefs around claiming an identity, including my own self-limiting beliefs around an identity I need to claim for myself
  • Why *you* can be a thought leader
  • 6 things to do to position yourself as a thought leader
  • How I positioned myself as a thought leader in AI this year

Get the 6 steps to position yourself as a thought leader and a lot more in our FREE guide on Developing Your Thought Leadership at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/guide/.
