Here’s What You Get:
Many talented professionals want to make a bigger impact and get their work & their ideas better known. That was certainly how I felt when I launched my consulting & coaching practice in 2006.
In the intervening years, I’ve written four books (from Harvard Business Review Press and Portfolio/Penguin), am a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and Fast Company, and I was fortunate to be named one of the world’s Top 50 Business Thinkers three times by Thinkers50.
But when I started, I wasn’t quite sure how to do it.
That’s why I methodically researched the process of how leading experts built their brands and their platforms, in order to do it for myself – and eventually, so that I could help others do the same.
Now, I’ve distilled what I’ve learned about growing your platform, your business, and your impact into the Recognized Expert® course.
Since 2016, more than 800 successful professionals been through the program. 60+ of them have subsequently become contributors to the Harvard Business Review and other high profile publications, and multiple course participants have become Wall Street Journal bestselling authors, TEDx speakers with million-plus views, and guests on programs like Good Morning America, The Today Show, and The Tim Ferriss Show.
Specifically, Recognized Expert® is intended for professionals who believe it would benefit their business or their career to be more widely recognized for their skills and expertise. The course helps you learn how to do that effectively, with the goal of opening up new business and professional opportunities that are genuinely exciting for you.
Because being great at what you do is very different than being well known for what you do.
With the Recognized Expert® course, my goal is to level the playing field and help talented professionals get their voices heard, so that the best ideas – not just the loudest voices – are the ones that win.
I’m excited to help you share your best ideas with the world.
Recognized Expert® provides you with a clear system for how to build your professional reputation in order to attract the right opportunities to you. The purpose of the course is to support you in reaching even greater levels of impact and success.
What Will You Learn in the Course?
In the course, you’ll learn extremely concrete and practical strategies for how to:
- Find your message and breakthrough idea, and learn to talk about it in a way that sets you apart
- Get featured in the media & write for prominent publications
- Land paid speaking engagements (and cool unpaid opportunities like TEDx talks)
- Grow your social media and online following
- Attract clients, job offers, and consulting opportunities to you – rather than constantly having to fight for them
- Build your email list
- Overcome self-doubt and the ‘imposter syndrome’ that holds many talented professionals back
- Network with peers and so-called ‘influencers’ in a genuine and authentic way, even if you’re an introvert (like I am)
- Launch a successful book, blog, or podcast
How is the Course Structured?
Recognized Expert® is an in-depth online course that you can access anytime, anywhere around the world.
The course includes more than 60 hours of targeted video instruction modules, as well as monthly live webinars/Q&A sessions (which are recorded, in case you can’t make a particular session).
Upon registration, you’ll be given immediate access to all the course materials, so if you’d like to “binge,” you can.
Alternately, if you prefer a ‘paced’ experience, I’ll send out weekly emails to you over a 12-week period with suggested material for you to watch, and homework assignments for you to complete, that week.
Most importantly, when you join the community, you get lifetime membership – there are no additional fees and you can access course materials, our online community, and our monthly live sessions forever.
