When Should Leaders Increase Visibility Using Thought Leadership?, with Emily Crookston

What is a thought leader? And why is is important even when you are happy in your job and have no interest in becoming a social media influencer or starting your own businesses? Do you ever get frustrated by how some people gain visibility and others do not in an organization? In this episode, you will learn 3 reasons why it's a smart idea to promote yourself and share your big ideas, even if you're happy in your position and never want to apply for another job.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Whatever your professional goals, it's likely that sharing your big ideas will help you attain them. No matter what stage of your career you're in, learning how to share ideas, even those that feel "half-baked," signals that you are thinking about the future, looking to collaborate with others to make progress, and seeking buy-in and alignment to advocate for resources. We'll discuss how to gain visibility to reach our career goals using the concept of thought leadership.
