Resumen del Editor

A guide to becoming a recognized expert in your field.

Too many people believe that if they keep their heads down and work hard, they will be lauded as experts on the merits of their work. But that's simply not true anymore. To make a name for yourself, you have to capitalize on your unique perspective and knowledge and inspire others to listen and take action. But becoming a "thought leader" is a mysterious and opaque process. Where do the ideas come from, and how do they get noticed?

Dorie Clark explains how to identify the ideas that set you apart and promote them successfully. The key is to recognize your own value, cultivate your expertise, and put yourself out there.

Featuring vivid examples and drawing on interviews with Seth Godin, Robert Cialdini, and other thought leaders, Clark teaches readers how to develop a big idea, leverage existing affiliations, and build a community of followers. She offers not mere self-promotion, but an opportunity to change the world for the better while giving you the ultimate job insurance.

Precision and clear strategies on STANDING OUT.

I had already read Dorie's book, Entrepreneurial you and found it useful and was eager to learn more about what she had done to make herself "stand out". I listened to the book straight through and will do so a few more time to let it all soak in. Great practical advice with little investment. You will hear info from someone who has done every single step she is sharing with you. Very credible and practical and a window into the world of making yourself visible in social media in a professional way.

Common sense comes from knowing where to start!

Dorie's book is a great starting book for those needing a process to build a personal brand or build a following around their ideas and create a breakout in their goals. The book is packed with samples that are provoking and self-reflective, with lots of practical advice on how to stand out from the crowd. Recommend it!
