Thought leadership, it is a term we hear over & over, however, what really is it?  How do we leverage it to make an impact and build trust?  

And, where do we even start?

Today’s episode is an absolute treat; I’m chatting to Leading Journalist and Content Strategist, Nick Huber about how every-day leaders can stand out and raise visibility (for the right reasons) using the power of great content and thought leadership.

Nick has written for the likes of the BBC, Financial Times, The Guardian and supported Organisations like Goldman Sachs, Sage, PwC, KPMG, HSBC, Procter & Gamble with their content and PR strategies.

During this episode we talk about thought leadership; why you need to do it… and how to do it well!

A few other episode teasers:

• Nick’s awesome career story; freelancing before it was “cool” and making courageous transitions
• How to get started with sharing content as a leader
• Increasing your visibility; creating career opportunities through thought leadership
• The difference between marketing and thought leadership
• How to engage with journalists to pitch ideas for content and be included in articles

Ultimately, thought leadership done well can help you to raise your visibility and stand out from the crowd (for the right reasons) as a leader, as well as driving your Organisation’s bottom line.  

I loved having this chat with Nick and it is a great intro if you are thinking about raising your visibility next year!

Nick has an incredible track record of working with leaders, and Organisations, to produce awesome content.  Interested in speaking with him about how he could support you or your Organisation?  Reach out to him: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-huber-1070559/
