Here's how you can position yourself as a thought leader in your niche.
Properly sharing a unique perspective on a meaningful topic in a consistent manner will find a loyal following. That said, it will become increasingly difficult in the growing world of homogenized global Ai knowledge. However, with passion, interest and a love of your subject matter, you will shine through to those looking for leadership. You will bring a point of view that is original and authentic - including your approach to delivery. As a result, you will not only bring your valued point of view but make it fun, which is what every loyal following is looking for in the first place.

Here's how you can position yourself as a thought leader in your niche.
Becoming a trusted advisor by identifying and specializing on a niche is a great way to be found by, and penetrate, markets. However, specialties are more discriminating, requiring the effort needed to continually refine and improve. With greater focus comes greater discernment of what is leading edge. In other words, don't try to fake being an expert in a highly refined specialty.
