Leader – How to Go From Invisible to Influential (and Profitable) with a Podcast.
Dubbed ‘The Podcasting Queen,’ she is recognised as a pioneer in this space by her clients and community, after starting her first podcast in 2008.
Over the years she’s been listed among the Top 25 Podcasts for Entrepreneurs, Top 50 Podcast for Entrepreneurs, and Top 100 Small Business Podcasts worldwide by well-known and respected small business websites, including Entrepreneur.com, while having two of her podcasts syndicated on National and International Radio shows.

WHY a Podcast?
People are busy. They haven’t got time to watch long videos – however they are choosing to listen to podcasts because it’s a secondary activity and they can listen while they are commuting, exercising or at home – relaxing or doing chores. [I share more in the video below].
The MORE time you spend with your ideal client, enables you to build that all-important ‘know, like and trust.’
In fact, many people have told me they have binge listened to all of my podcast episodes, which means in some cases they’ve just spent over 60-hours with me, speaking into their lives, getting to know, like and trust me, while giving me permission to educate them with my expertise.
That’s powerful – with NO other medium enabling you to achieve this level of personal engagement with your ideal customer.
WHY build Thought Leadership?
According to a recent study by Linkedin and Edelman:
- 87% of decision makers say building Thought Leadership builds trust
- 89% of decision makers say building Thought Leadership enhances your reputation
- 58% of decision makers say they would choose a business because of their Thought Leadership
- 61% of decision makers say they are willing to pay premium prices to work with a brand that articulates a clear vision through their Thought Leadership.
Pretty compelling reasons to build YOUR Thought Leader podcast, right?
Build trust. Enhance your reputation. Be chosen. Be paid premium prices. All because you showcased your Thought Leadership!
