Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 262: The Four Layers of Thought Leadership with Carol Cox
I remember last year I was doing some research and I googled “famous thought leaders.” Guess what the results were? All men.
Now, we know there are women thought leaders: Brene Brown, Mel Robbins, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Minda Harts all come to mind.
But, Google hasn’t caught on yet. Why not? Because we need MORE women thought leaders to flood the zone.
This is where you come in and this is why I’ve been talking a lot on the podcast about thought leadership and the role it plays in your business and for you getting bigger opportunities and the impact you want to have.
It’s also why I created our Thought Leader Academy - to give women entrepreneurs and professionals a place where they can develop their thought leadership ideas and signature talks.
In this episode, I’m going to talk about 4 key layers that make up thought leadership. These are layers I’ve identified as I’ve worked with our clients over the years on their keynotes, TEDx talks, and thought leadership messages and as I’ve worked on my own.
