Frequently Asked Questions

But I’ve done award-winning work in my field and am well respected by my peers. Aren’t I a thought leader already?
Here’s the thing: Doing great work is one thing. But starting and leading a conversation that helps shift the way people think is another. Ultimately you may find that the most useful ideas and conversations that help transform your business have nothing to do with your work at all. They could be about personal or cultural impact, identity, purpose and other themes that resonate on a deeper level. That’s why we’re here: to help you come up with, craft, and maintain a conversation that isn’t just about your bottom line.

I have plenty of ideas. How do I show people I’m a thought leader?
The short answer is that you need a plan – something that maps out the best medium for your message and the best places and times to spread the word. We can help with that too.
