TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… So, how do you really become known for your expertise, either in your company or in your industry? Fundamentally, there are three key elements, and after extensive research and interviews with the people who did just that, Dorie has the answers for you. It is a seemingly simple three-part recipe: content creation, social proof, and networking. Dorie breaks these down further but, if you want to establish yourself as an expert or as a company known for its expertise, this is your roadmap. Professionals seeking this recognition would do well to prepare themselves for the emotional fortitude this journey will take. Along the way, you should also be willing to learn from the experiences of people you admire and highlight the work as you build your platform. This will not only help you develop your own point of view but also start getting you closer to that elusive "breakthrough" idea. WHAT I LOVE MOST… I love digging further into building personal and professional brands.
