The very best leaders and managers, at every level, carry a a presence about them. Whether among a small team or an entire organization, that presence can draw people to you.

In today's episode, I break down the ingredients of a thought leader and how to become one. I like Thought Leadership Lab's definition of a thought leader, “Thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They become the trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas; turn ideas into reality and know and show how to replicate their success.” How to create content that shows you're a thought leader. Today's episode details how to get started or strengthen your role as a thought leader by walking you through how to clearly define key aspects of your brand: your mission, message, and buyer personas. If you want help creating strong ideal buyer personas, grab my free download, Create Your Buyer Persona. Earlier, I defined exactly what a thought leader is and what types of content their audiences want from them. Now, you use the pieces you just defined about how you can give your audience exactly what they want in each of those areas. So, if you feel like you're a thought leader, or that you have the ability to become one, tune into today's episode for a deep dive into who a thought leader is, how it benefits you to become one, and what you need to do to start showing up as a thought leader now.

Denise is an amazing person that I heard in another session of a mutual friend and mentor, Sam Horn. And I loved what Denise had to say so much that I just instinctively knew I needed to bring her to my community so that you too can learn and grow from what Denise has to teach you. And you'll see why! Denise is an award-winning author, thought leadership consultant, and keynote speaker with a long track record of results with an international clientele including Abbott Labs, Deloitte, Cisco, Gracenote, and Roche. She is the CEO of Thought Leadership Lab and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford Business School. Denise is also a best-selling author of Ready to Be a Thought Leader? (Wiley/Jossey-Bass) and has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, NPR, and the New York Times. She is a frequent keynote and seminar speaker at companies like Intel, Intuit, and Microsoft; leadership conferences including the Indiana and California Governor's Conferences; and college campuses, including Wellesley, Berkeley, and Stanford Business School. A serial entrepreneur, Denise is the co-founder of the prestigious women's start-up launchpad Springboard Enterprises (which has helped women entrepreneurs receive over $10 billion in funding for their businesses), the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (now Watermark), Invent Your Future Enterprises and the Invent Your Future Conference for Women. As you can see and hear, Denise has walked the talk.    Talking Points: What is a “Thought leader” compared to simply a “Leader”? What are the steps to shift from being a Leader to becoming a Thought Leader? Who are some examples of Thought Leaders through history? What is meant by the “first follower” and why are they so important? Thought Leader vs. Visionary vs. Integrator  Quotes: Thought leadership for me is that being that pebble in the pond, really creating a ripple effect and difference around a topic that matters to you. – Denise Brosseau It's about implementing transformational change and creating a community around a topic area that actually brings others on board to share and shape messages. It's really taking that idea from one to many, which is being a thought leader. –Denise Brosseau How do we get people to pick up our ideas and carry them forward? That's the journey of a thought leader and I don't know about you, but I never learned that in college. – Denise Brosseau All people have the ability to be transformational leaders. Real people can take ideas and make a difference. I think that's what's empowering about this journey, that it isn't for those other people with a secret decoder ring that they were born with. None of that is true. We all have the power to use our voice and use our platform and use our ideas for good. – Denise Brosseau Most of the world is feeling powerless. feeling victimized by life, like they have no control, like life is being done to them, and that they can't make a difference in their own life, let alone anyone else's. However, we all matter and we all have that ability. We don't have to be Nelson Mandela or Mother Teresa or Oprah Winfrey. – Dr. Irene Cop The first person with an idea is often thought of as a bit crazy. – Denise Brosseau One of the skills you have to learn as a thought leader is how to speak to someone who has a different perspective. And one of the main things we need to understand is that, if we ridicule, if we undermine, if we denigrate the other side, you never ever have a chance of changing their mind. You really have to come from love, you have to come from understanding, and you have to come from a willingness to see things from another person's perspective. – Denise Brosseau We tend as leaders to keep pounding our side, to keep saying it loud and clear, and think that people will just get on board. That's not the way to get people to change their minds. It's being open, being curious. Even asking questions. – Denise Brosseau Right now, most people are coming from a place of fear right now. They need certainty, and it's very easy to look for “My way is the right way.”, as the certainty to help with the fear versus understanding that everyone has their reasons. It's not about ‘who talks the loudest wins'. – Dr. Irene Cop What is it that matters so much to you that you would get up on a Sunday morning for no pay and go work on it? – Denise Brosseau   Learn more about Denise at www.thoughtleadershiplab.com.    Connect with Denise Brosseau Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisebrosseau/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/thoughtleadrlab Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Denise-Brosseau/e/B00FGIMBLM%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share   SUBSCRIBE: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-heal-with-dr-irene/id1561226627 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pxldTJY5MZmneyz8IpSvm Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFTN-EU3umbz_0d0GFwk_Bw Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/selfheal-with-dr-irene TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/Self-Heal-(with-Dr-Irene)-p1421793/ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3NlbGZoZWFsaW5nLm1pbmRzaGFyZWNvbGxhYm9yYXRpdmUubGlic3lucHJvLmNvbS9yc3M Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/2461592   Connect with us!

You want to have a greater impact and increased income. The problem is that there are so many options for how to build your business that you can feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like you're running out of time. The reason options are overwhelming is that you're looking at them as a series of disconnected steps when -- to make the most of your time -- you need a strategy that connects only the most important and highest impact ones. Why? Because you know it's true that if you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing. Which means, to achieve your goal, you have to invest in a strategy to put time on your side.

Together we will design a 12-month Relationship-Based Business Plan that will allow you to stack your successes to create momentum and leverage your limited time.

Denise Brosseau believes becoming the go-to thought leader in your niche is the very best career insurance around. She asks, “Are you ready to be a thought leader?” and offers listeners the steps to become one. As CEO of the Thought Leadership Lab and a lecturer at the Stanford Business School, Denise loves working with entrepreneurs and executives, particularly women, on their journey from leader to thought leader.

Denise Brosseau has been an entrepreneur since the '80's. Through her business journey, she's picked up a lot of lessons and has fallen in line with her purpose: to help women in business accomplish all the things they want to accomplish. She did that through her involvement in the founding of Springboard Enterprises, an organization that has helped women raise over $6 BILLION in venture capital, the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs, which she grew into 7 different locations and now through Thought Leadership Lab, where she helps women become thought leaders in their fields. In this amazing interview, we discuss the importance of multiple streams of revenue, the value of building a network in business and how asking for help can literally mean the difference between life and death for your business! http://BizWomenRock.com/239
