How to be a Thought-Leader

A thought-leader is someone who is seen as an authority in their field. They are the person who’s ideas and concepts you look forward to consuming.

Whether you’re a career woman or an entrepreneur, positioning yourself as an authority is one of the most important aspects propelling your professional success.

In a world where there is a cacophony of noise, content, thoughts to weed through, how the heck do you stand out, make an impression and say anything new or different?

In this episode, we’re helping you reformulate how you develop your perspective and authoritative voice in your market segment.


Get clear on articulating your value and owning your worth, schedule a no-obligation discovery call with Jackie to learn more.


In this episode, you’ll learn why you can: 

  • Expand what you consume. Challenge yourself to absorb new materials and explore them with curiosity. 

  • Find your unique perspective. Challenge the norms. Look at a situation and turn it on its head a little. Consider what someone with a different point of view would think.

  • Go macro and micro. Take both the 30,000-foot view and take one small point of the situation and focus on it.

  • Stop talking about the same ol topics and ideas. Look beyond your industry or role for different insights. 

  • Get a thick skin around “hate” mail. While it can sting, consider that you’ve struck a chord with your own unique point of view.

  • Be consistent. As a thought leader people will rely on you for your unique viewpoint.
