Do you aspire to be a thought leader in your industry? My guest Carol Cox helps women create a signature talk to put them on the path to thought leadership.
Being a thought leader is about inspiring your audience to dream with you – helping them see your vision of the world and benefit from this newly imagined version of reality. Carol and her team at Speaking Your Brand help women turn their personal stories into inspirational talks.
An influencer says to their audience be like me.
Experts says learn from me.
Thought leaders say imagine with me.

- the importance of sharing your personal story and being vulnerable
- the difference between an expert, an influencer and a though leader
- why women tend to stay quiet or in the shadows rather than stepping into their strength
