Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies
Outro
Carol closes the episode, links to show notes, resources, and the Thought Leader Academy, and previews the next episode.
This is one of the best conversations I’ve had about how to use social media effectively as a thought leader.
My guest is Tyrona (Ty) Heath, who is Director, Market Engagement, at The B2B Institute at LinkedIn.
You’re getting the inside scoop of the big picture of how to make the most of LinkedIn.
We get past the superficial tactics and really dig into what makes social media and LinkedIn in particular unique, how to showcase your body of work as a thought leader, and what your audience wants from you.
Ty and I talk about:
- The ways social media, and LinkedIn in particular, can be used for different goals (e.g., brand awareness, lead generation, thought leadership)
- What entrepreneurs often get wrong about using social media and LinkedIn effectively
- What's working well on LinkedIn right now
- How LinkedIn content is similar or different from what other social media platforms prioritize (IG reels/stories, TikTok, etc.)
- The key ingredients to think about when posting content
This episode is part of the series we’ve been doing called “The Medium is the Message”.
