YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I just got back from a coaches meeting and the subject came up of how to be a “thoughtleader.”
And of course, many of us wanted to know what a “thoughtleader” is. And how does one qualify to become one?
In the discussion, what came out was that there isn’t a simple definition that we can use.
So I thought that I would make it work for me. In my mind, a “thoughtleader” is someone who is a leader who influences others.
Usually an expert in some field, although not necessarily so. Perhaps in some way we are all “thoughtleaders.”
We have something to say that can make a difference in someone’s life. What’s amazing to me is the number of times that a casual encouraging remark many years previous made a difference in someone’s life.
We don’t realize the power we have to make a difference. But we can’t make a difference by keeping our beliefs to ourselves. It’s a great feeling to empower others and is needed by all of us. That’s one thing that “thoughtleaders” do…they make a difference.
We all have that potential. You make a difference. Let someone know.
