You Don't Have To Shout From The Rooftops To Showcase Your Thought Leadership

Generally, most introverts shy away from being in the spotlight and having attention focussed on themselves. Demonstrating their thought leadership is a good way for them to become widely known in their organisation and industry for their knowledge and expertise. If you hate self-promotion, it enables you to self-promote in ways that don't make it feel like it is all about you. In this episode, Carol and Kate Pozeznik (founder and CEO of Quirk, a personal branding and career consulting firm), discuss and elaborate on their respective definitions of 'Thought Leadership' and how, as an introvert, you don't have to shout from the rooftops to showcase your knowledge and expertise. Kate also provides listeners on ways you can get started in authentically getting your knowledge out there.
