I’m joined in this episode by one of our Thought Leader Academy grads, Heather Hausenblas, PhD.

Heather has an impressive background as a health psychology expert, an international award-winning scientist, and a professor of health sciences.

We met at an event I spoke at earlier this year and it was perfect timing because Heather had been wanting to make the shift from expert to thought leader.

Heather and I talk about:

• Heather’s message around the importance of social health and social connections
• How she has made the shift into thought leadership with her presentation content
• The results she’s seen so far from the presentations she’s been giving
• Elements of her signature talk that we worked on together
• And more!
