IT'S NOT CALLED THOUGHT FOLLOWERSHIP

It's NOT Called Thought Followership Growing your reputation and influence While most professionals work hard at becoming trusted advisors, becoming a "thought leader" is far more difficult - and in today's world, more strategic than ever. If you do really think that you are a Thought Leader, test yourself. In this presentation, Randall will challenge you with ten tests, and then share different ways to improve your thought leadership on each dimension. Randall will explore the two fundamental frameworks that underlie marketing your expertise: the Trust Curve and the Price/Expertise/Trust model - and describe how they can be used by individuals, groups, and the organization overall to support a thought leadership and trusted advisor strategy. The presentation will also describe the changing role of content as evidence of thought leadership - and how to build content that parallels the client journey from awareness to engagement to referral. *********** OTHER PROGRAMS: - Are You Listening... Or Are You Eavesdropping: Building Digital Trust in an Age of Peeping Toms and Lost Values - Social Media without wasting your time or losing your identity: Strategy, Efficiency, and Risk for attendees and their organizations - True or False: Digital Transformation or Business Extinction: Tomorrow's opportunity at the intersection of marketing and technology - Networking Success in a Post-COVID World ******************* Note: The concepts in my presentations can also be delivered in a coaching format for senior executives, professionals, and experts. I can present any of my programs virtually, both with video or in webinar formats. My virtual presentations have been delivered in interactive round-table "zoom" formats, and to virtual audiences with more that 4,000 people in attendance.
