13. How and Why You Need to be Able to Identify the Difference Between an Expert, an Influencer, an Activist, and even a Thought Leader in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Space
Description
This is a key episode that you might want to take notes on. What is the difference between an expert, an influencer, an activist and thought leaders within the DEI, particularly now, when social media is being used so widely, and people are doing more personal branding and becoming more visible online.
