259: Connecting Your Business and Your Thought Leadership with Carol Cox - a podcast by Carol Cox

How is your thought leadership message connected to your business? Should it be related?

I look at it this way: Thought leadership is the personal WHY to the WHAT (vision) and HOW (mission) that you have for your business.

Think of your thought leadership as a parallel track to your business; it’s WHY you do what you do.

I talk about thought leadership because it’s the way to get more of what you want: better speaking engagements, including paid ones, plus the way to reach more people with your message and create change.

 

In this episode, I talk about:

• What thought leadership is
• How thought leadership is different from your marketing and sales message in your business
• How to connect your thought leadership and your business
• My own thought leadership message
• The a-ha moment I had when I gave my keynote talk back in September
• Examples from some of our clients
• The biggest challenges I see when working on your thought leadership
