4 steps to turn yourself into a Thought Leader

I’m not saying it’s easy, but with consistency, it works. I did exactly that.

It’s all about trust. And here are 4 ways to build trust.

1️⃣ Write valuable content consistently📝

Share your knowledge and expertise online

The more you put yourself out there
The more people will know about you
And the more people will start trusting you

I've been posting regularly on LinkedIn since June 2022

2️⃣ Show up

Be where the action is

The right conferences
The right ecosystems

Be there
Shake hands

Create value 

And build relationships

3️⃣ Be of service🤝

Volunteer
Share a book
Make an intro

The more you help
The more you show how good you are

People always remember

4️⃣Associate your name with key organizations and leaders in your industry💁

Piggyback on the best organisations in your domain

Find mentors
Volunteer for someone
Offer help to an organisation

Brand association is one of the best way to bring credibility to your personal brand

For the past 5 years I've been a FoodHack ambassador, one of the leading community in the agrifood space. I spent hundred hours organising events for free.

And I joined StartLife, the longest running agrifoodtech accelerator in our industry.

People are now strongly associating me with these two leading organisations in the agrifood space.

You can do it to.
