As a thought leader, how do you best benefit from the knowledge you put into the world?

Racquelle Pakutz started us off with the warm fuzzies of feeling good about putting good into the world. Being a heartfelt leader, she believes it comes back to her. She added the concrete benefit of growing her network.

 

Jim Tam stepped up next to say the benefit he gets for his thought leadership, particularly on LinkedIn, is that people either validate what he is thinking or challenge him and help him grow.

 

Max Lambright gave the metaphor of our lives being like a movie production. There is an entire cast and crew that is involved. And that there are three steps – do, teach and leave behind. He also agreed with Racquelle that life is a circle. Put out good things and good things come back to you.

 

I had to yes, and to that. You can wait for the circle to come around or you can leverage what you are doing to go even bigger things. I’m all for taking action.

 

One thing I have learned and can always do better – I need to put my offer out there. It took me years and several hundred Quick Hits before I even started introducing myself and saying what I do at the top of each conversation.

 

Of course I’m going to get more out of my thought leadership if I ask for what I want.

 

What did we miss? How do you leverage your thought leadership to your benefit?
