Jim Ristuccia’s Post

The Role of a #CEO is unique to every other role you’ve ever played in your entire life. No seat has the view or the responsibility as the role at the top of an organization. Yes, you bring a wealth of experience to the position, but nothing can fully prepare you for what's to come. I've founded and partnered with founders and CEOs from start-ups to Fortune 500. One thing I’ve noticed is that many CEOs can feel overwhelmed and unsure of which advice to trust and where to invest their dollars first to get to the next best stage of growth. A great resource for CEOs is a collaborative group of peers that provides intellect and a sounding board that inspires direction toward a rewarding path forward. No CEO needs to go at it alone. If you’re interested in peer collaboration, personalized mentorship and support, I welcome you to consider the CEO peer advisory group I'm building in Orange County. Our focus is on providing leaders with tools and insights to make better decisions for their company, their industry, their family, and their community at large. We meet in person monthly but you can experience the group virtually on Tuesday, May 21, from 7 am to 10 am Pacific Time to see if it’s right for you.

One of my favorite thought leaders was Dave Jenks, an incredible leader and instructor at Keller Williams Realty. Dave had this unique ability to captivate an audience with his knowledge, authenticity, and passion. 𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉; 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅. Dave's approach to thought leadership was consistentcy—consistently sharing valuable insights, showing up for his audience, and staying true to his message. He demonstrated that anyone can become a thought leader by being authentic, sharing their unique perspective, and showing up consistently for their audience.  LinkedIn is not just a platform; it's a powerful tool for sharing your knowledge and establishing yourself as a thought leader in your industry.

"If I was active on LinkedIn, I'd look desperate." When I first started working with James*, it was a yo-yo game with his success-blockers: - "If I posted about Topic X, nobody will read it." - "If I wrote my opinions, I'll be inviting critics." - "If I shared about my event, I'll look like a bragger." The surprising thing was that on the outside, James appeared to be thriving: ✔ He was invited to be a keynote speaker. ✔ Clients were drawn to his Ivy League background. ✔ His L & D business was going strong for a few years. Despite his early wins, he knows that his impact + business can only grow sustainably if he stopped listening to the #limitingbeliefs in his head. The industry was no longer like 2 - 4 years ago, when there were fewer companies bidding for the same projects. So, we've been working on lots of Reframing: ❌ "What will they think of me?" ✅ "This will really give value to my target audience." When you quieten the limiting beliefs in your head, you'll start learning how to grow your Thought Leadership presence. ___ ♻️ Share this if you found this guide insightful. 🔔 Follow me to join my next online masterclass.

I love delivering keynotes. Entertaining an audience, creating energy in the room, and sharing messages from the heart. Watching people leave a little taller, armed with practical tools to lead better or live bigger. I’ve always said conferences are like a slingshot around the moon – they should accelerate our momentum and direction of travel. They don’t have to be dull. They shouldn’t be dull. - Start with the intention: How do you want people to feel as they leave? What do you want them to remember and do? - Design a fast-paced, highly interactive agenda. - Bring in a compelling, fun, and inspiring facilitator or keynote speaker.

A big question I get from business authors is how can I justify spending thousands of dollars working with a hybrid publisher when there is no guarantee of a level of sales? This is a constant issue because those authors would like to make a return on their investment. The answer is the book needs to be a tool to develop your audience and lead those audience members to another revenue stream like consulting, leadership coaching, speaking engagements, training seminars, new clients or other ways you monetize your expertise. You want to work with a high quality hybrid publisher to control your content and create a book that is reflective of your brand. The better the quality, the better the impression, the easier it is for people to take your content seriously and lead them to the larger revenue streams. For many authors, a handful of new clients or other engagements offsets the costs and justifies the expense. The number of authors that I have worked with that have done this successfully is staggering.
