To synergise my strengths and become a thought leader

[SwanBuster]

Just thought I’d run this up the AIBU flagpole and see who salutes.

I’m coming into this thread with an open kimono, so if any one else would like to share the inner workings of their mind palace in order to grow together that would be great. We can always circle back to the original point.

Feel free to ping me off thread if theirs insufficient bandwidth to complete your thoughts here. No need to boil the ocean right now.

Basically, a recruiter has reached out asking me to be a thought leader. I’ve been actively eating my own dog food on a parallel path, but it might be time to spread the butter wider. Thoughts?

@SwanBuster Agreed. I’ve got a hard stop at 12.30 so will need to duck out now.

I think we need some blue sky thinking. Oh and teamwork makes the dream work, but tbh I'm a bit tired now so zzzz.

I think some situations require a hunters moon, style of thinking, to chart various avenues of intrigue that can be landscaped and mined for potential treasure troves, of actionable intelligence.

I think we need to reach a landing place on this.

@Ionlydomassiveones

Interesting. I’ve got a colleague who is a self appointed ‘thought leader’. She’s always having new ones and leading us on them. Ironic really as our thoughts lead us all to think she’s a twat.

😂😂😂😂

But when do we drop the dead donkey?

But when do we drop the dead donkey?

Soon as it's no longer a productive matter to pursue, that avenue of thinking.

@SwanBuster

This was a really powerful mind map we’ve come together on, and there’s a lot of seeds to sew so we can reap the harvest going forward. I’d like us to stem the lava flow from the thought volcano now, and perhaps put the idea to bed for the foreseeable. Thanks all. This was useful.

your perspectives are noted, sweet dreams and much productivity going forwards with the chosen, seeds.

Team, it’s important we triangulate these ideas into one shared source of intelligence, hashtag one team. But we also need to consider some truly futile well-being topics. Would anyone be interested in meeting to discuss yoga classes and book clubs?

Has anyone dove tailed anything yet?

I feel that is a crucial and influential step in thought leadership and indeed joining and celebrating that leadership

There’s been a paradigm shift since you left your kimono open and you’ll catch cold exposed like that.

What are the optics on this thread though?

Well I think we need a fireside chat - possibly leading to a come to Jesus? If you want me to raise the kimono this is what it will take! I could then maybe then lay the golden egg!

Personally I'd try tackling the crocodile nearest the canoe first... 🐊 🛶

Just making a low key suggestion, do we need to consider as weekend retreat in order to draw energy from the group and really chalked the synergistic flow?

Please, please close the kimono, I can see your low hanging fruit 😅

I’m now scarred for life!

I can't answer your question without you posting your daily routine.

I assume you get up before you've even gone to bed so that you have time for a morning marathon, and then do your morning yoga at your desk to save time?

Also please post your to do lists and videos of you crossing things off. I need to get my life together and I think this is the only thing that will save me.

I’m cognizant of the fact that you need an origin story to sit within your brand. I can give you a steer on that if you want to reach out and touch base. I like to pay it forward by throwing back the ladder to help folks to help themselves.

Have you fully categorised and communicated the level of risk associated with an open kimono?

[quote Jellybean81]@CowboyFromHell ...still can't hear you. It must be my teams, I'll dial off and jump back on. [/quote]
Now I can't hear you either @Jellybean81

I've got another catch up in 5 so gonna dial out and we can touch base again soon.

Embracing this

Let's just be mindful of the need for open and honest dialogue, particularly when conversing in those sometimes difficult moments of truth.

Thanks guys.

Teachable moment, OP.

Is anyone recording the learnings here? Could you ping them round the team?
