In the “Business Growth Architect Show” Podcast, Ken Lizotte and I discuss effective PR strategies, including idea generation, pitch organization, and the five pillars of thought leadership.
One key idea we discussed was following your passion and focusing on what you genuinely care about when generating your speaking, article, or book topics for maximum exposure. Find out about the importance of authenticity and personal interest when selecting your topics. Diverse, audience-resonating topics can arise from different facets of your own expertise. Think about it this way. By breaking down the components of your expertise and not overthinking it, a diverse range of relevant topics can typically easily emerge.
Another concept you want to know about is how to organize pitches and hooks to drive effective business development. When you understand the importance of structuring and fleshing out ideas it will help your audience to understand and engage with your message. By identifying the specific business you’re in and aligning your topics with your goals, you can leverage business development as a powerful tool for success.
During the episode, you will learn what the five pillars of thought leadership are and why consistently publishing ideas and sharing your expertise through articles, books, or presentations is the key to building your authority. Ken drove home how speaking engagements are the single most important pillar, enabling thought leaders to connect with their audience and effectively impart knowledge. Lastly, we discussed the final pillar of thought leadership that will help you to become a thought leader and stand out and provide innovative solutions to your clients.
