The Self-Employed Life 275: Dorie Clark - Get Recognized for Your Expertise
It's time to get out there! It takes a lot of time, and a lot of effort to become an impressionable thought leader. How does one get there, though? What steps does it take to achieve recognition and social proof in your field of expertise? It's time to get recognized for your expertise! Dorie Clark joins us today to tell us exactly how.
Dorie Clark is the author of "Reinventing You," and "Stand Out." Sound familiar? It might be because Stand Out was named the number one leadership book of 2015 by Inc, Magazine, as well as a Washington Post best seller! Dorie is also a frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, and without name dropping, she is a consultant and speaker for big name clients! Not impressed yet? Dorie is also a grammy nominated jazz producer AND a new book on the way, expected to be released October 2017.
