Want to Make a Name for Yourself as a Thought Leader?

You’ll Need These Two Things to Stand Out in the Saturated Space.

Don’t fall for the “Fake it till you make it” trap.

You might have heard the mantra “Fake it until you make it.”

It expresses the idea that you should embody a confidence or persona that you might not actually possess.

And I disagree with it.

I’ve gotten into trouble for being too honest in my career and in life, but I don’t regret not “faking it.”

I believe authenticity is one of the best assets we can have.

Thought leaders, especially are in a position where they need to build connections with their audiences.

Authenticity and consistency are vital to this.
