There’s an emerging concept you need to know and it’s this idea of becoming a ‘thought leader.’ We all know a person we respect and admire for their knowledge in a chosen discipline. The challenging hurdle we must overcome is what aspect of our experience and understanding could we be a leader in? Are we allowed to see ourselves as a thought leader? How much experience do you need before people will actually listen to you? Luckily these days with the ability to reach an audience at scale, with next to no costs, all you need is the ability to create and distribute content that not only shows your breath of understanding, but, gives you the ability to authentically interact with a community that will both incentivise and encourage you to be better than what you are today. A story that begins with Verity Craft, General Manager and Smooth Operator of Intelligent Ink. She will share with you her tools and strategies for becoming a thought leader in any industry. Gone are the days where you need a college degree and 20 years of experience in a mind thumbing corporate. What truly matters is substance and connection. You don’t need to be the Einstein of relativity you just need to be relatively useful to the people you can help.
