In 2015, one of my longtime followers pulled me aside at an event, and quietly shared, “I knew the moment you were back.”
I paused and considered the observation.
Hmmm. I was never ‘gone’. I had been very actively working on and in my business, growing our programs, managing the team, advising my high-end clients, and out there speaking and networking.
And then I realized what she was actually talking about: my thought leadership.
(When I use that term, it’s not loosely. I mean being truly a thought LEADER… not just anyone who has a bevy of followers online.)
I paused to consider.
