it is critical to get your head around what type of presence you want to demonstrate, the values you want to convey, and how that matches up (or doesn’t) with how others currently perceive you.

We are inviting you to consider running your own thought leadership practice based on your expertise — to make a living by selling your thoughts, to make it a game that gives you the chance to do work you love, with people you like the way you want.
