S2E3 Your Story And Expertise Are Enough: The Essence of Thought Leadership
Description
"Who am I to be a thought leader?" It's a question we hear from our highly qualified clients all the time.
If you're struggling with self-doubt and impostor syndrome and it's holding you back from telling your story, you're not alone.
In this tactical "Mighty But Mini" episode, host Gaby Acosta challenges the insecurities that plague many experts, especially those from historically underrepresented groups. She boldly asserts that Black and brown folks, LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and people with disabilities (both visible and invisible) who are doing expert work every day are already qualified to tell their stories. No additional certifications or degrees required.
While the responsibility sits with decision-making leaders to diversify voices in events, media, and publications, trends seem to be moving backwards. If we wait for permission to take the spotlight, we'll be waiting a lifetime.
It's time to take matters into our own hands! 💪
It's 2024—we have countless tools at our fingertips to share our wisdom in our own spaces and on our own platforms.
Discover why your unique perspective isn't just valuable, but necessary in today's world. Learn how to redefine thought leadership and uncover the one factor that outweighs any credential. Through her own journey, Gaby shows you how to silence your inner critic and amplify your voice. It's time to step into the spotlight and lead the way.
