There's no easy way of saying this …But most client testimonials I see on websites (and on social media) make me feel SO frustrated. Because they totally ‘undersell' the expertise of the business - and I feel sure they're missing out on sales as a result. That aside, testimonials have a crucial role to play in building authority - so they're missing a trick there too … In this episode of the Courageous CEO podcast, you'll discover: The link between thought leadership and testimonials Why getting great testimonials starts way before you onboard a new client The essential ingredients of effective testimonialsKey LinksOrder my 2024 Courageous CEO Strategic Business Planner & Resource Kit Janet Murray's website Janet Murray on LinkedIn Janet Murray on Facebook Janet Murray on Instagram Janet Murray on Twitter

All right, thoughtleaders – be honest. Have you ever nodded off a little during a presentation? Now imagine a conference filled with rock and roll, choreographed numbers, and comedy. That's a presentation you'd sit up and pay attention to! Our guest today is Kraig Kleeman, the founder and Executive Producer for Rock the C-Suite a production company that brings electrifying original and relevant musical performances to corporate events.  In addition, he is the author of The Must-React System: User's Guide to Prospecting C-Suite Executives which provides a strategy for winning meetings with senior executives. Kraig shares where the inspiration for Rock the C-Suite came from and how corporate messaging is better received through the performing arts. He describes the high energy performances he produces that can be the main stage of a conference delivering an audience-focused show that provides researched topics that mean the most to those putting on the event. Before Kraig was rocking the stage he had authored The Must-React System and he explains why when doing outreach leading with value proposition and product benefit language might seem intuitive it actually isn't the most effective method.  In fact, providing fact-based briefings combined with smart questions can allow the potential client to map your research to their own experiences and advance you to the next step! Kraig provides great advice for landing meetings with executives and creating high-octane events that any company can take advantage of. Three Key Takeaways: ·         Conference producers should prioritize the well-being of the audience over the distribution of information.  If the audience has zoned out, they will not take in the information. ·         When crafting content for a conference make sure to collaborate with the event owner to really dial in a deliverable that is effective for them and their audience. ·         Cold call outreach to executives will have greater success if you lead with fact based research and not value proposition

Thought leadership and content marketing are often lumped into the same category. But they're not the same thing. You might say that thought leadership is a type of content marketing, but it's a very particular type, and producing it at a high level requires a particular set of skills, like Liam Neeson in the movie Taken. To help us unpack the concept of thought leadership and what it takes to produce really good thought leadership content, my guest is Bob Buday. Bob is founder and ceo at Buday Thought Leadership Partners and author of the book Competing on Thought Leadership: How great b2b companies turn expertise into revenue ... and co-host of the podcast Everything Thought Leadership.

In this week's episode, I'm talking to author, journalist, and founder of Thought Leadership PR, Helen Croydon.Helen is a former journalist, the author of three books including ‘Screw The Fairytale: A Modern Girl's Guide To Sex & Love', and the founder of her own PR practice, Thought Leadership. She is also a passionate triathlete and lover of the outdoors.  Topics that Helen & I cover are:how Helen's book, Screw The Fairytale, came about;how her literary agent told her that they didn't think the book would be popular because of the topic;why she wanted to challenge the conventional idea of what a relationship is;the resistance that Helen met in response to her attitudes towards relationships;the common phrases that Helen dealt with over and over again during her single years;why Helen believes there has been a shift in the societal narrative around less traditional relationships over the last ten years;why her current relationship is unconventional and doesn't fit the ‘fairytale';how the vast majority of writing on singles is geared around dating and looking for love;how during her book research, Helen stayed at a polyamorous commune in the Scottish Highlands;how both Helen and I are ‘extroverted introverts';how Helen came up with the idea of ‘the single gene' when she was writing her book;how Helen is very grateful that she loves her own company and believes that it's a gift;how Helen thinks there is a correlation between enjoying your own company, and being driven.Follow Helen on Instagram:@helencroydonCheck out Helen's website:www.helencroydon.com Book a FREE 30 minute coaching 'taster' session HERE: https://calendly.com/lucymeggeson/30minute Fancy getting your hands on my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

Data Governance may not sound exciting - but it's critical! It covers how your company produces, consumes, collects, and destroys data.   So, with businesses generating and using more data than ever,  why is this role so often forgotten? Our guest today is Lauren Maffeo, Author of "Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up" and an adjunct Lecturer of Design at The George Washington University. Lauren sets the tone for us by explaining what Data Governance is and how too much data is produced for one person or even a single team to own it all.  Lauren lays out how you can create data points from subject matter experts around key areas of data your company produces or ingests, such as Sales, Marketing, and Customer Data; each of which can then have sub-sets to provide even more structure. Lauren shares why you need to understand how data works in the subject matter expert's day to day job and how data governance will help them do their job more effectively. In addition, we learn about data dictionaries and the big part they play in data governance and enablement efforts to ensure clarity is provided across domains on the exact meaning of terms that might have different meanings depending on the context. Three Key Takeaways: ·         The biggest challenge to doing data governance well is having a thought leadership strategy around it to get other colleagues on board. ·         There is too much data produced today for one person or one team to own all of it.  You need to make it a collective effort across technical and non-technical roles. ·         You can not succeed in sales, marketing, or customer success without data.

Understanding and managing your ego is essential for healthier interactions.Family Businesses and Ego: In family businesses, ego behaviors can become more pronounced due to the intertwined nature of work and personal life. Ego-driven conflicts and communication challenges can impact both the family and the business.Ego Types Aren't Gender-Specific: Ego types (controllers and compliers) are not limited to specific genders. Men and women can exhibit either ego type, and it's essential to avoid falling into gender-based stereotypes.Transparency Is Crucial: Transparent communication is vital within family businesses.

If you are not aware of what you do, you cannot change what you do.""No one is bad for their ego. We can actually learn to work with it, manage it, and call it out as a team without getting someone defensive.""Perception is not truth, but it is reality.""It's most likely you're losing one person's value, and one or two of them are dominating over the vision and the plan.""As a leader, it's still just as bad. There's just as much drama that comes with that one. It just looks different.""When we start bringing our true selves and our ego dynamics to the table, we no longer get defensive and can have more meaningful conversations." - Christie Garcia"Ego management is a modern approach to leadership that can transform an organization's culture and productivity." - Christie Garcia"The beauty of learning and awareness is staying curious without judgment, allowing us to extract value from various sources." - Christie GarciaConnect with Christie Garcia and check out her work through the links below.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiegarcia/Website: https://www.mindfulchoiceacademy.com/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

Rutgers grad student Anna Tamke penned an op-ed in PR Week sharing her thoughts on why college has not prepared her for a career in public relations – a plea for higher education to teach real world skills in the classroom. "It's a rude awakening when you graduate with a PR degree and realize you're unemployed in a post-pandemic world with an unreal expectation for what working in your field looks like,” Tamke wrote. “If the education system properly taught students — like myself — what PR is and how to do it, entering the workforce wouldn't be so hard." Austin and Thomas are joined by Calgary-based comms pro Matthew John to weigh on the opinion piece, share their personal experience breaking into corporate communications, what schools of higher learning can do to properly equip students to succeed, and why it's important for students and professionals to look after their own professional development.Music Credit: Smoke (with Lostboycrow) – Feather FOLLOW MATTHEW JOHN ON SOCIAL MEDIA

There are few thought leaders who work behind the scenes to create, develop, and deploy programs while simultaneously being the face of the brand. What does it take to find success on both ends? Today we've invited internationally recognized presenter, content developer, business leader and coach Curtis Bateman!  He is currently the Vice President of International Direct Offices at FranklinCovey, and was previously the President and CEO of Red Tree Leadership before orchestrated a buyout to FranklinCovey. With few thought leaders working both the back and front of the house, Curtis gives us some insights into what it takes to be successful doing both.  He tells us about the passion and extra hours that are required to practice what you preach.  However creating doesn't have to be a solo job, in fact, Curtis shares how having Brain Buddies can help sharpen your skills.  Having a knowledgeable team around you to help research stories and ideas as well as draft or polish content creates a high quality end product. Curtis tells us how being in the market place every day while creating content creates a constant cycle of feedback as content goes out to the audience, gets live reactions, and can be revised based on that input. This system has been used to pressure test everything from their framework to his newest book Change: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Opportunity. Having had a boutique company that exited to FranklinCovey, Curtis fully understands what it takes to position yourself for acquisition.  While each instance is different Curtis shares how having principle-based content that matched up with the prospective buyer, having a Fortune 50 client, and thought leaders with significant industry experience that were capable of making contributions inside the new organization all played a role in a successful acquisition.  Three Key Takeaways: ·         Content creation doesn't have to be a single player game.  By working with others you can polish your skills and elevate your content. ·         Taking ideas to your audience and revising based on feedback can give you real time advice on where the market agrees or disagrees with your content. ·         Exiting a boutique firm for a bigger company means you don't get to touch every aspect of the business anymore.  You have to learn to trust others.

While most people have heard of a steam shower, few would imagine that you could have one in your home or that people have had them for decades.  Martha shares the history of MrSteam and the challenges they faced getting people to know they could have such a product in their own home.  By targeting and educating architects, plumbers, and designers MrSteam was able to create a chain that not only knew about their offerings but became champions of it! When it came to educating the professionals that would be installing and selling their products Martha went beyond information sessions or bookwork, creating elegant invitations to Camp Feelgood, hosted at high end hotels where they would not only explain the health benefits of steam showers, but spend time in them providing a luxury experience they could then speak directly to when answering questions of future clients. Martha offers great insights into reaching new audiences and differentiating yourself from the pack by using interesting, dramatic, and meaningful tactics. Three Key Takeaways: ·         When you don't have a massive marketing budget, solid thought leadership can allow you to punch above your weight class. ·         When getting the message about your offering out you have to target the right audience.  By going after the professionals between you and your product you can educate the supply chain and create champions. ·         Theatric and dramatic visuals can often help grab the audience's attention and allow you to differentiate yourself from the competition.

Publishers often look at books as seasonal, but an author needs to look at their book as a long term investment. What should you be thinking of a year before publishing, and how can your book help your business - even years after it was released? I've invited Katie Anderson, internationally recognized leadership coach, consultant, speaker, and founder of Katie Anderson Consulting to join me. At the time of this recording, Katie was celebrating the three year anniversary of her book, Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn: Lessons from Toyota Leader Isao Yoshino on a Lifetime of Continuous Learning. Katie's journey into thought leadership literally took her around the world, from California to Australia and then to Japan, where she had the unique opportunity to partner with Isao Yoshino, a 40-year Toyota Motor Corporation leader. This time spent together became the fuel for her book, Learning to Lead, in which she weaves together Mr. Yoshino's heartwarming and deeply reflective stories of personal discovery and organizational history, and offers her own unique perspective, with the intention of helping others learn to lead and lead to learn. In the year leading up to publishing the book, Katie had a lot of big decisions to make. Katie shares how she was introduced to traditional publishers both big and small, but ultimately chose to self-publish. We learn the importance of having the goals of the publisher align with those of the author, and how an author can maintain control over the message and look of the book. Now, three years after publishing, Katie shares the impact the book has had on her business and what she did to ensure it found its way into the right hands. She talks about sharing stories from the book and doing so from the heart, without a focus on selling units, but with a passion for the lessons that can be learned and the impact and value the book can have for others. Three Key Takeaways: * You need to have a full understanding of the purpose of your book.  Allow that purpose to influence the choices around publishing, look, and feel. * There needs to be complete alignment between a publisher and author.  If you can't find that perhaps another publishing method would better suit you. * When self-publishing it is still important to hire professionals to do the work you are not good at.  This will ensure a polished end product.
