Publisher's Summary

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.

Great book

This book is awesome. Dorie is an awesome writer and she reads this book very well. I really enjoyed how she broke down key points that really makes you analyze yourself and your current situation. If you can answer all of the questions that Dorie asks, then you are on a sure path to standing out. Im definitely buying the book for my library.

Motivating & Thought Provoking

Very motivating and encouraging. Love that she gives so many real life examples and thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter.

Another masterpiece from Dorie Clark

Anybody interested in "standing out" in life MUST read this book. Having met Dorie twice now and listened to her talk, there is undeniable authenticity in her and her book gives useful timely advice in this ever-changing world. Excellent book.

Great actionable content.

A+ Loved it, very actionable. Now I want to read her first book. Great examples of how others did it.

Lots of advice for extroverts.

If you want to get noticed, you'll need to put in 12-14 hours a day networking, blogging, attending groups, speaking, writing, and researching. If you have a family or a long commute to work, forget it.

There's my summary of this book. It was both inspiring and discouraging at the same time. It's mostly geared towards entrepreneurs or people I who are self-employed, with no family life. For someone like me, I would benefit from more down to earth advice.

Well structured and makes great points

I enjoyed this book for how well it is structured and how well the author takes you to places that allow you to get her points. I also thought that the author did a fantastic job using questions to help you to formulate your own strategies for standing out.

In this book, Dorie gives us so many tips on how to bring your big idea to life, build a following, and think differently about our work. I love that she narrates this book!

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.
