There is no thought leadership without your experience. The best thought leadership that exists was spawned from someone’s personal experience and their deep feelings about it. The idea you had didn’t just randomly pop into your head. There is no random in the world of thoughts.
Everything came from something; a comment made by a stranger, an observation while driving down the highway, the connecting of seemingly unconnected ideas in a space designed for such coalition (aka: a hot shower after a long day). More than anything, these thoughts came from a time and place in which you were there, living through something that was significant enough in your life to remain.
More specifically though, and what most people lack in italy phone number list their thought leadership content, is the place you were at when this idea came to be. Your life circumstances.
Not just, “I was grocery shopping and noticed…”
But more like, “I was struggling to feel anything about life when I walked into the grocery store that day…”
Emotionally and psychologically, where were you?
So, you already drafted your experiences. Now it’s time to think about and confirm the deeper side. Stories don’t just contain events. They have an entire emotional journey alongside a play by play of events taking place.
What are yours? Go back through these experiences and get very clear and specific as to what you were feeling and why and how that impacted you psychologically at the time.
