Talking Leadership, Reinvention, and Entrepreneurship with Dorie Clark

Dorie Clark believes the best ideas win, not the loudest voices.Unfortunately, we live in a society where those loud voices are often the ones that come out on top. That’s why Dorie has made it her purpose to help individuals and companies find ways to get their messages heard in an increasingly noisy and crowded environment. Dorie is an author, thought leader, and part-time professor at the business schools of Duke and Columbia universities. She’s also a believer in the power of purpose to drive reinvention and growth, both personally and professionally. (And, we might add, the #1 Communication Coach in the World and one of the Top 50 Business Thinkers in the World.)Listen for a fascinating conversation that covers Dorie’s insights on: What it really means to reinvent yourself—personally, professionally, or as a company—and why it’s such an important process.How clarity in identity, messaging, and presentation are critical to reinvention—even if an individual or brand doesn’t yet have all the answers. How to navigate today’s content ecosystems (think: social media, conferences, publications, and more) so that your or your organization’s ideas and voice break through. Links & NotesAbout Dorie ClarkConnect with Dorie Clark on LinkedInEntrepreneurial You by Dorie ClarkReinventing You by Dorie ClarkSubscribe to Dorie Clark’s LinkedIn Newsletter (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:45) - Introduction to Dorie Clark (02:38) - Who Is Dorie Clark?
