How to Become a Sought-After, High-Paid Thought Leader and Speaker

Many of you would truly love to become a household name and build your personal brand upon a reputation and platform of expertise and thought leadership. If this sounds like you, read this email, because building a thought leadership brand and becoming a recognized speaker is challenging, but it doesn't have to be an enigma or a journey filled with trial and error. I can help.

Many of you may know me as a speaker—perhaps you've seen my TED talks, attended one of my webinars, or watched me live recently, as I perform almost every week on stages around the globe.

If you've been inspired by what you've seen and are reading, and want to share your voice and expertise, I'm here to tell you three things:

1. that it IS 100% as awesome as it looks. Best. Job. EVER.
2. that you can have this, too, and you deserve to claim your spotlight.
3. that speaking is not just a business unto itself, but a MASSIVE boost for your business, overall.

Here are the next steps I would take, if I were you:

Establish Your Expertise The first step is to get clear on what problem you solve, who you solve it for, how you solve it, and why you're the person to solve it. This clarity is your foundation. Without it, you risk a lack of focus, which, as I often say, means you end up serving no one.

Vow to Become World-Class Once you've established your expertise, the next challenge is to stand out in a crowded field. This means developing world-class talks and materials. It requires effort and integrity to create truly original and compelling content - and yes, this requires investing in working with people at the top of their game, like me.

I teach the skills needed for executive presence and storytelling that sells. Mastering formats like webinars and other media can be powerful marketing tools. Your goal should be to reach a level where distinguished companies and individuals are eager to hire you.

Gain Followers and Get Known When you're ready, it's time to grow your platform. This phase involves marketing and systems for success. Speaking is serious business, and a strategic approach can lead to significant rewards. Consider leveraging tools like podcasts, business scaling systems, social media, email marketing, books, advertising, PR, personal programs, and even retreats. With the right approach, you could be running a multiple six-figure, or even seven-figure, speaking business. Think big—why not aim to be the next Yuval Noah Harari or Brené Brown?

My new program for thought leadership and business scaling is designed to guide true experts through each of these phases. It also focuses on the crucial task of managing your mindset for success and fame.

If you're interested in learning more about each phase, have questions specific to your journey, or want to join the waitlist for the next Thought Leadership Group Coaching Series, starting in August 2024, feel free to reach out. Let's get started on your path to becoming a sought-after thought leader and speaker. And if you are ready to talk to me about private coaching right now, let's get to it.
