Have the right team. Over the last few years, my leadership style has undergone a transformation. I listen a lot more than I used to. I trust people a lot more as well. Back when I was young, that didn’t seem so important. I believe now more than ever in the importance of subject matter experts: if an area is your expertise, then I’m going to value your opinions on it, rather than think I know better.

When you are recognized as a thought leader in our industry it provides our clients and their team of reps with a calming experience. It can be a multiplier to new business. For example, we have several directors on our roster, so we are very in tune to knowing what to expect, look for and add value when it comes to clients working on a project. It has led us to opportunities to bring on more directors because of leadership.

Leadership means having the confidence and authority to oversee a group of people and organization to thrive. The most successful of leaders are excellent listeners and observers. They must listen to and address the concerns of their teams. Leaders must also be good decision makers and be able to take others opinions and perspectives into consideration and make decisions that are best for the majority.

Is someone already doing what you want to do, where you want to do it? Can you join forces with their mission and exponentially level each other up instead of starting your own thing?

In 2016, Laura was a stay at home mom in the suburbs of Philadelphia. A self-described “helicopter mom”, Laura spent her days anxiously caring for her young children. She couldn’t really appreciate her time at home because she was constantly worrying about the next…
Be persistent- I think a large part of success comes from pushing that little bit further than the average person would. There was one artist I particularly wanted for a project who stopped emailing me back, so I decided to email him every Tuesday at 9am until he responded- thankfully this approach worked and he joined the project!

After our Clinic was operating about 15 years, I began seeing the children of my first patients. Some as adults were doing well yet as kids they really struggled. Yet others I worked with that appeared to be doing well as children or teens were struggling with adult life. I came to realize that what’s wrong with you tells me where you are but what’s right with you tells me where life might lead you if I’m smart enough to help you find a path. I also learned that the more liabilities a child faces the more important assets or…
Compassion has many different faces: Through our focus on individuals working at grassroots levels, we gain the chance to uplift the voices of diverse and marginalized leaders whose work is often overlooked by larger institutional funders. When you make the opportunity to serve accessibly, you get so much more diversity; not only racial or socioeconomic diversity of the players, but also a diversity of ideas and solutions.

As a leader, I believe in the player-coach model, not only rolling up my sleeves to do the work, but also investing in talent and building competency and capabilities within our teams. That’s also been our strategy behind our successful evolution at Panasonic — to leverage our global talent and intellectual property and apply them to new markets and customer challenges. Since joining the company, I’ve established a Community of Practice for sales and marketing teams aimed at creating a culture of collaboration and sharing best practices. Last year, we saw the importance of breaking down siloes and drawing people…
Kelsey Raymond of Influence & Co: 5 Things You Should Do To Become a Thought Leader In Your Industry
Write and publish high-quality content. — The articles that our marketing team helps me create for online publications are always in-depth, original, and edited by two in-house editors. That last part is really important because if people see grammatical errors in the content you write or if you link to a stat that is 15 years old, you are going to lose credibility immediately. Focus on creating high-quality content that is edited and fact-checked.

I am intentional about identifying what I need and set boundaries accordingly. I challenge myself to say no to more than I would be comfortable with. This one is a work in progress.
