Redefining What a Thought Leader Is (and Who Gets to Be One) with Mel Ripp
If you’ve previously thought of thought leadership as only for corporate giants, delivering speeches from prestigious stages, think again…
In this episode, we shattered the corporate jargon that often surrounds thought leadership and laid it out plain and simple: thought leadership is for anyone with a unique perspective.
Joining me for the inaugural episode of Bright Voices in Business is Mel Ripp, the mastermind behind Peapod Marketing and PR Consulting to discuss how we can all step into our power as thought leaders. Mel shared her journey and the lessons she's learned about the importance of authenticity in building a brand. We talked about overcoming self-doubt, the power of storytelling, and how to connect with our audiences on a deeper level. Whether you're just starting out or looking to amplify your voice, this episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone ready to lead with their unique thoughts.
Join us to hear more about:
- Mel's perspective on what it truly means to be a thought leader
- Advice for combating that inner voice that says you're not enough
- Common objections and resistance faced by women entrepreneurs in thought leadership
- How being genuine in your message can completely transform your brand
