WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Overcome (some) self-doubt . Feel the permission slip to lead - without needing to code-switch or compromise who you are.
The support of this group gives you "I am good enough!" vibes.
Get clear on the people + communities who need your ways of thinking, your expertise, your unique perspectives.
(Even if you're not comfy with the "expert" label.
Launch a format for your ideas: a podcast, webinar series, an online group, LinkedIn articles, YouTube lecture series, a professional organization, an industry newsletter.
Learn to get quoted in the media outlets you + your people care about and begin to plug into speaking opportunities (if you like).
Understand how to (non-annoyingly) self-promote so people organically follow you and your causes.
Plan to sustain your momentum over the next year. Map out future content so you will see the results snowball.
