Why YOU are the Messenger for Your Idea and Audience with Carol Cox
I often hear from clients that they feel like their topic isn’t unique, that what they would present on others have already been said.
And they’re right: That will always be the case - there are always going to be lots of people out there who do or say something in the same umbrella as you.
What you need is an IDEA, not just a topic.
Ideas look for a messenger - and it’s up to you to activate the idea.
YOU are the messenger your audience needs to hear.
In this episode, I share with you:
-
Why ideas are so important
-
The four layers of thought leadership
-
The different ways ideas can come to you
- What can stop you from activating an idea
-
Inspiration from Elizabeth Gilbert’s book “Big Magic”
- Why Greta Gerwig was *the* messenger the Barbie movie needed
